Analytics Setup
Make collection understandable and testable.
A good setup starts with a question, a defined event, and a way to verify the result. These guides connect implementation checks with purposeful data collection. Use them before an initial installation and when a change could affect how activity is recorded.
Keep a compact record of pages tested, actions performed, expected results, and any exclusions. Review that record alongside privacy and access decisions. When a report later looks unusual, this foundation helps you decide whether to investigate the website activity, the measurement system, or both.
