SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Audits and validates the server-side measurement pipeline that backs paid channel data, ensuring sGTM and Conversions API health and reducing data loss due to client-side blockers and privacy changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • sGTM health assessment and domain privacy filters
  • CAPI / CAPI Gateway health checks, hashing, and event coverage
  • Deduplication validation and EMQ scoring
  • Pixel debugging and end-to-end test event validation
  • Deliverables: health report, findings, and improvement roadmap

Quick Start

Run the server-side tracking audit workflow against your sGTM and CAPI stack to generate the SERVER-SIDE-TRACKING-AUDIT.md report

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit server-side tracking health for sGTM and Conversions API?

You audit server-side tracking by validating sGTM configurations, CAPI gateway hashing, event deduplication, and EMQ scoring to ensure data fidelity and verify match rates between client and server.

Why does my Conversions API event deduplication fail to match client-side data?

Conversions API deduplication fails when client and server event IDs mismatch, causing data loss. Auditing pixel debugging data and event schemas verifies end-to-end test event validation and corrects the deduplication pipeline.

What is server-side GTM and when do I need it for tracking data quality?

Server-side GTM is a measurement pipeline that backs paid channel data, reducing data loss from client-side blockers and privacy changes. You need it to harden tracking data quality and ensure Conversions API health.

Do I need access to event schemas to run a CAPI gateway health check?

Yes, running a CAPI gateway health check requires access to configuration details, event schemas, and sample event data to validate hashing, event coverage, and generate a structured health report with actionable findings.

What's the best way to improve EMQ scoring and event coverage for paid channels?

The best way to improve EMQ scoring is to run a full stack server-side tracking audit, validating pixel debugging and CAPI gateway health to output an improvement roadmap with actionable findings.

What are the limitations of server-side tracking audits for data fidelity?

Server-side tracking audits are limited by their reliance on provided configuration details and sample event data; without accurate access to event schemas and sGTM setups, the health report cannot verify end-to-end data fidelity.
