Who it's for, and who it's not for

The owner of a small online bike-parts shop points to a page in a printed handbook while briefing a freelance developer at a café table.

Who it's for

  • Owners and managers who want to know whether their numbers can be trusted, without learning to code.
  • Anyone hiring help, so they can brief a developer or agency properly and check the result.
  • Agencies and freelancers who run tracking for clients and want a plain-language standard to share with them.

Who it's not for

  • Analysts looking for advanced BigQuery or server-side recipes. Chapter 4 covers what those are and when they're worth it, not how to build them.
  • Anyone without access to their GA4 property or website - you'll need admin access, or someone who has it, to run the checks.

Honest note

Some of this you can do yourself in an afternoon. Some of it, like consent setup and e-commerce data layers, is worth handing to a professional. Each section of the handbook says which is which, with a difficulty rating, the time it takes and what goes wrong if it's done badly. The handbook can't see your setup - it tells you exactly what to check.
