Marketing solutions aren’t cheap, so relying only on intuition isn’t an option. Every strategy must be driven by data — but are you sure the data you use to make decisions is accurate? And do you always have your key KPIs at hand?

We created the Digital Analytics Health Checker, a short tool that helps businesses quickly assess the state of their analytics and spot potential growth areas. Take the Google Analytics Health Check Test and find out whether your data can truly be trusted — and whether it actually supports informed decision-making.

Why You Should Take the Digital Analytics Health Check

At first glance, your analytics might seem fine: dashboards work, reports arrive on time, numbers look okay. But analytics isn’t just about showing data — it should answer real business questions.

For example: Why is the ad budget growing while conversions stay flat? Why is everything “green” in the reports, yet profit isn’t increasing?


Businesses come to us with these problems all the time. That’s why we collected the most common warning signs that something is off with your analytics:

Data discrepancies

Because of inconsistent tracking settings and different data collection methods, numbers in various systems don’t match. GA4 shows one thing, your CRM another, and ad platforms something else. And it’s unclear which source you should trust.

Reports take too long

To prepare a weekly report, the team pulls data from multiple sources and manually assembles it into dashboards — or even worse, into Excel spreadsheets.

It’s unclear what actually works

You have data, but it doesn’t answer basic questions: which channel drives the most sales? Which campaigns should be paused? Which ones should be scaled?

No single source of truth

Marketing, sales, and the business owner all look at different metrics in different systems. Everyone has their own numbers and their own interpretation. This makes performance analysis complicated and leads to teams working out of sync — or even arguing because the data doesn’t match.

Decisions are made too slowly

If the marketer or business owner has to contact the analyst every time they need to evaluate something, the process slows down. And if the analyst is outsourced or juggling several projects, getting an answer may take hours or days. As a result, you lose speed — and often money.

If even one of these symptoms feels familiar, it’s time to check the state of your analytics. You don’t need to use any complicated health analytics software. You may take our quick test online to see whether your data reflects the real effectiveness of your business processes and to identify the weak spots that need attention.

Test Your Analytics Effectiveness

What to Do If You’re Having Analytics Problems

If the results of your Google Analytics health check were unsatisfactory, or you suspect your analytics setup needs improvement, here are a few solutions to consider:

Option 1: Bring in an Agency

For medium and large companies, outsourcing analytics is often the fastest and most reliable approach. A professional analyst or agency can quickly:

  • identify technical tracking issues
  • set up accurate events and parameters
  • sync data between GA4, your CRM, and ad platforms
  • build dashboards that answer your specific business questions

They’ll also help you avoid common mistakes and tailor your analytics to your business — including attribution models, event structures, and reporting logic. This is crucial if you want a clear picture fast and want to minimize losses caused by poor-quality data.

Option 2: Hire an In-house Analyst

Another approach is hiring an analyst directly into your team. This strengthens your internal expertise and gives you continuous control over your data, processes, and performance.

From experience, finding a skilled analyst is a long and challenging process. It can take 4–6 months.

The reason is simple: demand is high, and strong analysts choose companies with a dynamic environment, professional challenges, and a strong like-minded team.

Option 3: Learn the Analytics Basics Yourself

If you want to better understand what’s happening with your data, you can try learning the fundamentals of analytics on your own. This will help you evaluate results more critically, ask the right questions, and spot issues faster.
Of course, this won’t replace a full-time analyst or working with an agency, but it will make you more informed and confident when making decisions.

Option 4: Invest in Your own Analytics System

This is a strong strategic choice for businesses that want to scale, deal with large amounts of data, and need to make decisions quickly.

“Running a business is a constant test of flexibility. AI technologies, sudden shifts in demand, competition growth— all of these instantly affect results. That’s why it’s critical for business owners and marketers to have a real-time, easy-to-understand dashboard that gives all the answers they need. Every time you have to turn to an agency or outsourced analyst, decision-making slows down — and it’s incredibly frustrating.”

A custom BI system allows you to:

  • have one dashboard with marketing, sales, and finance metrics
  • avoid the limitations of GA4’s default interface
  • combine data from Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, CRM, and other sources into a single model
  • track KPIs in real time
  • make decisions without delays

At Promodo, we build BI systems that are simple, intuitive, fully automated, and remove dependency on analysts, manual reports, and human error. We integrate data from GA4, ad platforms, CRMs, and other sources so your reporting reflects the true performance of your business.

“Creating a custom report may seem like an expensive investment, but in reality, it’s a foundation you build once — and then scale together with your business. You gain full control over your data, reduce dependency on contractors, and ensure uninterrupted analytics even when teams or agencies change. The data stays with you — and continues to drive your growth.”

How Organizing Analytics Helps Businesses Grow

Like many other companies, MasterZoo used to track the performance of their marketing channels manually, collecting data from different systems:

  • SEO — metrics from Google Analytics 4
  • Paid search — data from Google Ads and GA4
  • Paid social — metrics from Meta Ads and GA4

Combining all of this into one report and building proper attribution took a lot of time, and getting a consolidated view of results “right now” was nearly impossible. As a result, the team spent hours on manual work instead of analyzing channel performance and making strategic decisions.

The Promodo team proposed and built a custom Essential report for the client. It allowed MasterZoo to automatically collect data from Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, and Meta Ads, and display the key marketing performance metrics in an easy-to-understand format.

Thanks to this, the MasterZoo team can now focus on making strategic decisions instead of handling repetitive manual tasks.
