Analytics & Conversion Tracking

F19.08 5 features Shipped

At a glance

Privacy-respecting analytics on petanque.life measure what marketing actually delivers — conversion funnels, controlled A/B tests, UTM attribution and behavioural heatmaps — all without cookies, banners or surveillance, so the team can iterate on hard data while staying GDPR-clean by design and never compromising visitor trust or page-load performance for measurement.

How it works

The analytics stack runs on Plausible (or Umami) — cookieless, lightweight, GDPR-compliant by default — so the site never has to show a cookie banner that hurts conversion. Every meaningful action on the marketing site is wired to a custom event: hero CTA clicks, audience-card selections, pricing tier hover, ROI calculator submission, demo booking, sandbox provisioning, newsletter signup, webinar registration. These events feed conversion-funnel tracking so the team can see, end to end, how many visits become trials, how many trials become paid tenants and where the drop-offs cluster.

UTM parameters are honoured on every campaign URL and stored against the conversion event, so paid acquisition reports cleanly attribute revenue back to source, medium and campaign. A/B testing infrastructure lets the marketing team run controlled experiments on landing-page variants — different heroes, different CTAs, different pricing presentations — with the platform automatically randomising visitors and reporting statistical significance once enough sample is collected. Heatmap integration on the highest-traffic pages (homepage, pricing, /for-federations) shows where visitors actually look, click and scroll, so design decisions are anchored in behaviour rather than guesswork.

All telemetry stays in the EU and never personally identifies a visitor — the platform never compromises privacy for marketing insight.

Key capabilities

  • Privacy-first analytics (Plausible/Umami), no cookie banner needed
  • Conversion funnel tracking from visit through trial to active paid user
  • A/B testing on landing pages with statistical significance reporting
  • UTM parameter capture and attribution against conversion events
  • Heatmap integration on key pages to inform design decisions
  • EU-hosted, GDPR-compliant by design with no personal identifiers

In practice

The marketing lead notices /pricing has a 38% bounce rate. She launches an A/B test: variant A keeps the current 'Free / Club / Professional / Federation' layout, variant B leads with the ROI calculator above the tiers. After two weeks Plausible reports variant B converting at 2.4× variant A with 95% confidence.

She ships variant B as the new default. Funnel analytics confirm the lift carries downstream — trial sign-ups are up 31% week over week — and the heatmap on the new layout shows visitors engaging with the calculator before scrolling to the tiers, exactly the hypothesis. Without a single visitor losing privacy in the process.
