   • Provide actionable insights to improve content strategies, such as refining content types, enhancing engagement methods, or optimizing publication schedules.

2. Deliverables:

   • A detailed analysis of how content updates affect key marketing attribution KPIs (e.g., cost per acquisition [CAC], cost per lead [CLTV], return on ad spend [ROAS], conversions, and time spent on content).

   • Recommendations for integrating Google Analytics data with other analytics tools (e.g., CRM or marketing automation platforms) to enhance tracking and reporting.

3. Industry Best Practices and Standards:

   • Segment users based on their behavior to attribute impact to specific content versions.
   • Use third-party cookies to track user interactions with content across multiple devices and browsers.
   • Follow Google Analytics best practices, such as using event IDs, measurement IDs, and enabling server-side tracking.
   • Conduct testing or A/B testing to validate the effectiveness of content updates before attributing results.

4. Quality Expectations:

   • Ensure that the analysis is based on high-quality, granular data, including access to detailed user journey and engagement data within Google Analytics.
