Case study

Server-Side Tracking & Attribution

Server-Side Attribution

The Situation

A fast-growing B2B SaaS company (US market) was spending heavily on paid acquisition but could no longer trust their ROAS numbers. Browser privacy changes and ad blockers were silently dropping 25–35% of conversion events.

The Challenge

  • Client-side tracking was failing on key conversion events
  • Automated bidding platforms were receiving incomplete signals
  • Multi-touch journeys across devices were invisible

What We Built

  • Migrated critical tracking to server-side Google Tag Manager
  • Implemented first-party cookie architecture
  • Set up Conversion API connections for major ad platforms
  • Built a clean multi-touch attribution model inside their data warehouse

Results

  • Recovered 28–34% of previously lost conversion events
  • Improved ROAS accuracy by ~18%
  • Restored confidence in paid media decisions
