Introducing Trackingplan’s Presence Map

We’re excited to announce the launch of Trackingplan’s Presence Map, a powerful feature designed to enhance your ability to monitor the accuracy and consistency of your tracking implementation.

Whether you're working with events, pixels, or Data Layer values, this feature gives you a visual interface to easily track, verify, and optimize your data collection processes across different regions, devices, consent settings, and more.

What is Trackingplan’s Presence Map?

Trackingplan’s Presence Map is an intuitive tool that helps you monitor your events, pixels, and Data Layer values across various pages, UTMs, consent settings, and key attributions like country, domain, and device. This functionality ensures that everything is accurately and consistently tracked, providing you with the insights you need to spot gaps, identify issues, and stay compliant.

By using this tool, you can easily verify if your analytics setup is working across different environments, ensuring no event or pixel is missed.

Track Events Across Pages and Attributions

One of the standout features of the Presence Map is its ability to track your events across different pages, attributions, and UTM parameters. With the ability to filter by your preferred analytics provider (e.g., GA4 or Adobe Analytics), you can instantly view which events are being fired across your pages. This makes it easy to:

• Spot missing events: If any events disappear or aren’t firing as expected, you’ll be able to spot them instantly.
• Identify new events: New events are marked in blue, helping you quickly verify whether recently added events are being tracked correctly.
• Monitor event health: Events that are firing as expected are marked in green, ensuring that your implementation is running smoothly.

Deep Dive into Compliance Monitoring

Monitor Consent Settings Compliance

‍Ensure that your events are being tracked according to consent settings for platforms like Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads. The Presence Map helps you identify compliance issues, such as events being tracked in regions or situations where consent was denied.

‍Ensure Consistent Tracking Across Countries

‍By grouping by country, you can easily verify that your analytics setup is consistent across all regions. For instance, you might notice that the event pdp (Product Detail Page), which should be captured in all countries, is missing in France. This allows you to address gaps in your tracking and maintain uniformity.

‍Track Pixel Performance

‍Pixel errors are common, failing easily and invisibly, and leading to increased costs and decreased conversions. That’s why Trackingplan allows you to stay on top of your pixels and trackers across your site. The Pixel Presence Map provides real-time alerts when a pixel is missing from any page.

Track the performance of marketing pixels, ensuring they fire correctly across different regions or easily spot if a pixel (Facebook Ad Conversion) goes offline or stops firing, preventing any loss in tracking and optimizing your ROAS.

This functionality is essential for answering things like:

• How many pixels or trackers do we have on our site?
• On which pages are they triggering?
• Has the Facebook Ad Conversion Pixel been removed from this landing in the last release?
• Are all my pixels working in all countries?

‍Data Layer Monitoring Made Easy

‍Trackingplan’s Presence Map also provides a centralized interface for managing and monitoring the presence and performance of your Data Layer values across all pages, regions, devices, and more. This is useful for detecting missing values, identifying inconsistencies, and monitoring the health of your Data Layer implementation.Whether it's ensuring correct transaction_id is captured across all order confirmation pages or verifying the presence of product_id on product detail pages, the Data Layer Presence Map simplifies debugging and maintenance of your data layer setup.

This functionality is essential for answering things like:

• Debugging: Quickly identify missing or inconsistent values, such as when a transaction ID is missing from a checkout page.
• Ensuring consistency: Monitor the health of your Data Layer across all pages, devices, and regions.

Why is This Important for Your Tracking Setup?

‍Tracking accuracy is critical for effective analytics. The Presence Map helps you:

• Ensure consistency: Monitor and verify your tracking setup across multiple attributions, devices, and countries.
• Spot issues early: Easily detect any gaps in your events, pixels, or Data Layer values before they affect your analytics accuracy and marketing performance.
• Optimize ROAS: Track the performance of your marketing pixels and prevent issues like missed pixels from affecting your campaigns.

By using Trackingplan’s Presence Map, you’ll have full visibility of your tracking setup, ensuring that your data is accurate, compliant, and optimized for better decision-making.
