Business & Agency Owners – Listen Up:

The #1 reason your ad campaigns hit a wall?

INACCURATE DATA.

It’s the frustration holding back ambitious advertisers like you — those who are ready to scale but can’t break through.

At this stage, you’re trying to lower ad costs and increase value. But if the data you rely on is off, making the right decisions becomes nearly impossible.

Here’s the real issue:

Inaccurate data doesn’t just impact your decisions — it also sabotages the advertising algorithm.

The better your data, the better the algorithm can identify your best customers.

But getting accurate data and conversion tracking right is easier said than done.

That’s where the Data-Driven Scaling Formula comes in — putting accurate conversion tracking at the core of your strategy.

The Data-Driven Scaling Formula empowers ambitious business owners like you to scale faster by leveraging the right data at the right time.

The formula is made up of three key parts:

	1.	Enhanced Performance Tracking: Best-in-class server-side tracking combined with smart data usage throughout the entire customer journey. This ensures both you and the advertising algorithm are making better decisions and taking smarter actions.

	2.	Precision Algorithm Training: Fueling your advertising algorithm with high-quality data to significantly improve targeting. Now, you’re only spending money on customers who bring real value.

	3.	Transform Data into Growth: Gain control over your business’s growth by understanding what works — and what doesn’t — in both marketing and sales.

Hi, I’m Michel – The Conversion Tracking Guy.

With over 18 years in Digital Marketing, I’ve witnessed firsthand how advertising platforms and marketing systems are becoming increasingly data-dependent. Yet, proper conversion tracking and data architecture are often overlooked because they seem complex or costly.

I’ve helped over 250 business owners unlock the full potential of their marketing with server-side tracking and analytics. In almost every case, the results were clear: a significant boost in performance.

Let’s talk about how accurate data can transform your business.

Co-Founder

AldrichX is a data-driven marketing agency that helps 6+ figure fashion eCommerce brands to grow their business whilst they can keep focussing on building their brands.

Ecom subscription sellers: 

Stop wasting your Meta Ads budget on returning customers.

Such an easy fix, yet almost nobody does it.

Every major Ecom platform already gives you the parameter you need, you just have to plug it into your tracking setup.

Once you tell Meta who’s new vs returning, everything changes:

- Cleaner attribution
- Less wasted spend
- Better audience signals

More budget going to actual new customers

Meta can’t optimize for what you don’t tell it, give it the right data, and it will find the right people.

Want help setting it up? 

You know where to find me ;)

I train your ad algorithms to find your best buyers. Accurate conversion tracking + smarter buying signals = higher ROAS.

You’re launching the Black Friday campaign with sweaty palms…
…and your developer just deleted the tracking code 😭

Always check  tracking first before launching  new campaigns:

1. For Meta, use the Meta Pixel helper tool
2. Google Ads, check the Google Tag Assistent

Still not sure if everything is working?

Shopify Analytics sucks.
Tracking breaks.
And “Direct” suddenly looks like your best-performing channel.

But here’s the thing, it’s not Shopify’s fault, it’s Consent Mode.

When a user doesn’t accept cookies, Shopify simply stops tracking.

No pageviews.
No addtocarts.
No purchases.
No channel.

Which means your data becomes… well, kind of useless.

Another place where tracking seems broken 🤯

So what are your options?

1️⃣ GA4 server-side setup with Consent Mode
2️⃣ Triple Whale

Both have their pros and cons, ut they’ll give you a much clearer picture of what’s really happening, even when users don’t consent.

What are you using right now to close this gap?

Helping agencies deliver better client results — with accurate tracking, stronger algorithm signals, and actionable ad dashboards

People don’t want to spend a dime on conversion tracking.
But they’re happy to invest in “algorithm training.”

Most advertisers still think tracking is just a fix.

It’s not, it’s the foundation for growth.

Better tracking doesn’t just lead to better decisions....
it sends better signals to the algorithm about who buys and who doesn’t.

Imagine being able to tell Meta or Google exactly who to target, that’s what accurate tracking really does.

Curious how accurate your tracking really is.
You know where to find me. 😉

Proud that TrackingArchitects is one of Stape’s Top Partners.
And it’s more than just a badge.

Because my clients now know:

> I’ve done more than enough tracking implementations to handle any setup
> They can rely on an extra pair of expert eyes when accuracy matters most
> I follow a structured process to deliver the highest quality

It’s always great to be recognized, 
but even better when it helps my clients scale with confidence.

How’s your tracking going? 👀

70% of your Google Ads leads are spam.
Real problem? You keep feeding Google… spam data.

So Google thinks those fake leads are exactly what you want, it finds you more of them.

Meanwhile, the good leads?
Google has no idea what they look like.

Here’s the fix:

- Mark qualified leads in your CRM
- Setup offline conversion tracking 
- Activate Enhanced Conversions
- Gather data in Google Ads 

Make the switch when everything looks good and feed Google with signals from high quality leads. 

Better signals = better leads

Still getting mad when I see this. 

You're spending 100k monthly on Ads and using a free tracking plugin 🤯 

Audited an e-commerce brand this week.
Meta was their ONLY growth channel.
Big budget. Big ambitions.

But they were only sending 60-70% of their data back to Meta.

Why?

The Facebook app in Shopify was not tracking all data. 

And then they wondered why:

> ROAS was unstable
> Scaling didn’t work
> Meta was “inconsistent”

The algorithm can’t optimize on blind spots (and it's getting worse).

So we fixed it:

+ Implemented a real data layer
+ Added server-side tracking
+ Passed email, phone, location
+ Captured click IDs

Result? 20-30% more conversions. Instantly.

DON’T save on tracking please 🙏

Meta and Google Ads numbers seem off… and you’ve already tried everything:

- Free plugins
- Agency experts
- YouTube tutorials
- Cheap freelancers
- In-house developers
- A fresh Google Tag Manager setup

But still, after 6 months you’re staring at numbers that make zero sense whilst your competitor absolutely crushing it.

Let's end this frustration once and for all.

Hire a tracking expert or agency, ask them:

1. How many times the've done the setup you need
2. How they measure accuracy and how to optimize for
3. If they have a 'second-pair-of-eyes' mechanism
4. What their monitoring process is

Time to stop doubting and start scaling with confidence.
