Marketing & Analytics

Marketing you can actually measure

We're a marketing agency run by engineers. Instead of guessing which campaigns work, we instrument your website so every meaningful click, form step, and phone tap becomes data — then use that data to shape your SEO, AEO, and ad spend decisions.

Talk to us See how it works

We write the code

Most agencies hand you a recommendation. We build the tracking, deploy it, and prove it fires — custom scripting is our day job.

Every platform, one schema

Google Analytics, Microsoft Ads UET, Meta, LinkedIn — one event definition, wired consistently to all of them.

You own all of it

Your accounts, your tag containers, your data, documented. Nothing is locked behind our agency login.

Marketing Services Built on Real Data

Four disciplines that compound: measure what's happening, get found, get cited, and know which spend earned it.

Analytics & Custom Event Tracking

Custom-scripted events that capture the moments in your funnel that off-the-shelf tracking silently misses.

  • Event schema design & naming standards
  • Google Analytics 4 & Tag Manager
  • Microsoft Ads UET & Bing conversions
  • Meta, LinkedIn & TikTok pixels

SEO Consulting

Technical and strategic search work that makes your site easy for search engines to crawl, understand, and rank.

  • Technical SEO & crawl audits
  • Core Web Vitals & page speed
  • Information architecture & internal linking
  • Keyword mapping & content strategy

AEO — Answer Engine Optimization

Your next customer may never see a results page. We make your business the source that AI assistants cite.

  • Structured data & schema.org markup
  • Entity clarity & consistent brand facts
  • Question-shaped, citable content
  • Crawlable HTML for AI retrieval

Ad Spend Tagging & Attribution

A tagging taxonomy that reports spend by strategy, not just by channel — so you can cut what isn't earning.

  • UTM taxonomy & naming conventions
  • Strategy-level campaign tagging
  • Offline & CRM conversion import
  • Cross-channel reporting you can act on

Custom Event Scripting, Explained

A default analytics install tells you someone visited. Custom events tell you what they were trying to do — and where you lost them.

We start with the funnel, not the tag

Before writing a line of code, we map how your customers actually move — the pages they compare, the form step where they hesitate, the spec sheet they download before calling. That map becomes an event schema: a documented list of every signal worth capturing, what it's named, and what data travels with it.

Then we write the scripting. Events push into a data layer, and Tag Manager fans each one out to every destination that needs it — Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Ads UET, Meta, LinkedIn — using the same names and the same values. One definition, consistent everywhere, so your reports agree with each other.

We also account for the modern web: server-side tagging and the Measurement Protocol keep conversions flowing when ad blockers strip client-side scripts, and Consent Mode is wired in so tracking respects your visitors' privacy choices.

one signal, two destinations
// Visitor abandoned the quote form at pricing
window.dataLayer.push({
  event: 'quote_step_abandon',
  step: 'pricing',
  quote_value: 4820,
  segment: 'commercial',
  strategy: 'compare-content'
});

// Same signal, Microsoft Ads
window.uetq = window.uetq || [];
window.uetq.push('event', 'quote_step_abandon', {
  event_category: 'funnel',
  event_label: 'pricing',
  revenue_value: 4820,
  currency: 'USD'
});
Which form field loses people
Phone number taps on mobile
Spec sheet & PDF downloads
Scroll depth to pricing
Site searches that return nothing
Chat opened but never sent

Repeat visits before converting

SEO Gets You Ranked. AEO Gets You Quoted.

Search results and AI answers are now two different front doors. We consult on both, because they reward different work.

Search Engine Optimization

Be findable

Classic SEO still decides whether you appear when someone types a query. Most of the wins are technical and unglamorous — and most sites have never had them audited.

  • Crawlability, indexation and sitemap health
  • Core Web Vitals and real page speed
  • Title, heading and metadata structure
  • Internal linking and site architecture
  • Keyword-to-page mapping, gaps and cannibalization
  • Local and map-pack visibility
Answer Engine Optimization

Be citable

More buyers now ask an assistant instead of a search box. Those answers cite a handful of sources — AEO is the work of becoming one of them.

  • Schema.org structured data for your services and FAQs
  • A clear, consistent entity definition of your business
  • Content written in the shape of the questions asked
  • Facts that match across your site, listings and profiles
  • Server-rendered HTML that AI crawlers can actually read
  • Monitoring how assistants describe you today

Tag Ad Spend by Strategy, Not Just Channel

Most accounts can tell you what Google cost versus what Meta cost. Very few can tell you whether the comparison-content strategy outperformed the retargeting strategy.

The problem with channel-only reporting

Channel tells you where a click came from. It doesn't tell you which idea earned it. When every campaign is named ad hoc, the only question your dashboard can answer is "which platform?" — so the only lever you have is moving budget between platforms.

We fix that at the naming layer. Every campaign you run carries a strategy code in its tagging, and that code flows through to analytics alongside the custom events we built. Now spend, clicks, and conversions all roll up by strategy — and you can defund the ones that aren't earning without touching the ones that are.

What you get

A written tagging standard your team and any future agency can follow, applied across your existing campaigns, plus the reporting views that make the strategy dimension visible in Google Analytics and your ad platforms.

Where conversions finish offline — a signed contract, a closed deal in your CRM — we wire conversion import so the revenue lands back on the campaign and strategy that started it.

How We Work With You

Short, scoped, and documented — so you always know what was built and why.

STEP 01

Audit

We inventory what's already installed, find the broken, duplicated and double-counting tags, and map the funnel you actually have.

STEP 02

Instrument

We design the event schema and tagging taxonomy, then write and deploy the tracking through your tag manager or directly in your codebase.

STEP 03

Verify

Every event is tested in preview and debug tools and confirmed landing in every destination. You get documentation of what fires, when, and where.

STEP 04

Report & Iterate

Reporting views broken out by strategy, and a standing recommendation on where to move spend as the data comes in.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AEO and how is it different from SEO?
SEO is the work of ranking in a list of search results. AEO, or Answer Engine Optimization, is the work of being cited inside an answer generated by an AI assistant such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, or Google's AI Overviews. SEO optimizes for a click; AEO optimizes for being the source a model quotes. They overlap in fundamentals like crawlable HTML and accurate content, but AEO leans much harder on structured data, consistent factual claims about your business, and content written in the shape of the questions people actually ask.
Do I need Google Tag Manager to work with you?
No. Tag Manager makes ongoing changes faster and is what we recommend for most sites, but we can implement tracking directly in your codebase if you prefer fewer third-party scripts or have a strict content security policy. If you do not have a tag manager today, we will set one up in your own account and hand you the keys.
Will custom event tracking slow my website down?
It should not, and page speed is something we measure before and after. Tracking scripts load asynchronously so they never block your page from rendering, and part of our audit is removing redundant or abandoned tags that are already costing you load time. In many cases a tracking audit ends with a site that is faster than it started.
Can you track conversions that happen offline or in our CRM?
Yes. When a lead converts over the phone or closes weeks later in your CRM, we capture the click identifier at the start and pass the eventual outcome back to the ad platform through offline conversion import. That lets the platform optimize toward the deals you actually won, rather than toward whichever form gets submitted most.
What happens to tracking with cookie consent and ad blockers?
We wire consent handling in from the start, so tracking honors what each visitor has agreed to. For visitors using ad blockers, server-side tagging and the Measurement Protocol let conversions be recorded from your own infrastructure rather than a blocked browser script. The result is more complete data without ignoring anyone's privacy choices.
Do we keep the setup if we stop working with you?
Yes, entirely. Everything is built in accounts you own, and you receive written documentation of the event schema, the tagging taxonomy, and every tag we deployed. If you bring the work in house or move to another agency, they can pick it up without reverse engineering anything.
Where is Modular Industries located and who do you work with?
Modular Industries is based in Waukesha, Wisconsin and works with clients nationwide. Our marketing engagements suit businesses that already have traffic and ad spend but limited visibility into which parts of it are working.
