Frequently asked questions
We didnโt start Harsh Marketing just to track clicks. We built it after 20+ combined years of experience in running campaigns, building websites, writing copy, and constantly asking: โHow can we make this perform better?โ
The answer? Analytics.
This FAQ breaks down what we do, how we work, and how we help marketers go from overwhelmed to in control.
-
Marketing analytics is how you stop guessing and start making smarter decisions. Itโs the practice of collecting, measuring, and interpreting data from your marketing channels so you know whatโs working, whatโs not, and where to focus your energy.
-
The ones that actually matter:
What channel is bringing the highest quality leads?
Why are people dropping off before converting?
Whatโs the ROI on our recent campaign?
Our traffic is growing, so why are conversions flat?
What should we double down on next quarter?
-
We break marketing analytics into three key stages:
1. Data collection: We set up tools like GA4 and Google Tag Manager to track the right actions โ form submissions, scrolls, button clicks, video views. If it matters to your goals, weโll track it.
2. Reporting (Dashboards): We build a custom dashboard in Looker Studio to visualise your data. It updates automatically and gives you one place to monitor all your marketing efforts like your website, socials, and ads.
3. Interpretation: Hereโs where the gold is. We help you understand the numbers and translate them into strategy. Youโll get annotated reports or live calls to walk through insights like:
โ
โข Why leads dropped after your launch
โข Which platform brought the highest quality traffic
โข What content is actually converting -
A dashboard is your central hub for marketing data โ basically a live digital analytics report. Instead of clicking through 10 different platforms or messy spreadsheets, you get one clean, visual report that updates automatically.Most dashboards take 2โ4 weeks to build, depending on your setup. Weโll give you a clear timeline at the start, so you know exactly what to expect.
-
Yes โ and we love doing it! We donโt just hand you a report and walk away. We explain what it means and what to do next. We help answer questions like:
Which landing page is converting best?
Are these clicks turning into leads?
Whatโs slowing down our funnel?
