Short answer: At minimum, track the source of meaningful forms, phone calls, bookings or purchases and connect them to lead quality or revenue. More data is not automatically better; the goal is a trustworthy path from marketing activity to business outcome.
What usually matters most
Analytics platforms can count button taps and page views without revealing whether a real customer was created. Agree on what a qualified lead means, record the eventual result and use consistent campaign naming so performance can be compared.
Privacy, consent and data retention also matter. Collect only what is useful, document key events and test them after website, form or tag changes. A simple reliable setup is more valuable than a complex dashboard nobody trusts.
A practical way to decide
- Define primary conversions and distinguish them from minor interactions.
- Test every form, phone and purchase event end to end.
- Capture lead source and campaign information consistently.
- Review qualified outcomes with the sales or customer-service team.
Good fit: SC Web may help when tracking needs to guide SEO, Google Ads and website decisions instead of producing another disconnected report.
Probably not a fit: It is not a fit if the business cannot provide any feedback about which enquiries become valuable customers.
