Service · Analytics & CRO
Analytics & CRO for assets you actually own.
Once your site is live and monetized, the question becomes simple: what's really happening here and how do we improve it? Margin Media's analytics and CRO work is about answering that with clean data, clear decisions, and experiments that respect your margins.
We treat analytics as infrastructure, not decoration. Tracking, dashboards, and tests are wired into your performance web build, SEO system, monetization stack, and (optionally) media buying so you're optimizing an owned asset, not just screenshots.
Clean measurement before clever experiments.
It's tempting to jump straight into A/B tests and UX tweaks. We start one layer down: making sure you can actually trust the numbers. No growth hack can fix a broken event model.
- Analytics that match your business, not generic dashboard templates. Events and conversions map to how you actually create, capture, and monetize value.
- Clear funnels across content, from entry pages (search, social, email) to monetization events (ad views, email opt-ins, purchases, booked calls).
- Lightweight, privacy-conscious tracking that gives you signal without turning your site into a tag-management science project.
What a typical analytics setup includes
- Core analytics (pageviews, sessions, referrers).
- Event model aligned to your offers and monetization paths.
- Key funnels (search → page → action, social → page → action).
- Dashboards for creator, operator, and owner views.
- Naming conventions and documentation so future experiments don't break everything.
The goal: anyone on your team should be able to answer "Is this working?" without a 40-tab analytics deep dive.
Your content and users already tell us where to look.
Because your site is built from existing content, we already know what themes, topics, and formats your audience responds to. Analytics & CRO is about turning that signal into concrete improvements, not guessing from scratch.
- Use watch time, comments, and saves to prioritize which articles, landing pages, or tools get optimization first.
- Treat high-intent queries and topics as candidates for deeper pages, better calls-to-action, and clearer layout.
- Find the "almost converted" flows where small UX or copy changes can unlock meaningful lift.
Examples of CRO work on creator & business assets
- Turning a high-traffic content hub into a proper funnel with clearer CTAs and email capture.
- Simplifying a checkout or inquiry flow that analytics shows users abandon halfway through.
- Restructuring key pages built from transcripts to surface proof, outcomes, and next steps earlier.
- Iterating on ad density and placement to balance RPM with a genuinely usable reading experience.
A practical experimentation framework, not a lab.
We're not here to run cute tests for case studies. We're here to run focused experiments that either improve your core metrics or teach us something useful about your audience.
01 · Define the lever
Clarify what we're trying to move email opt-in rate, RPM on key pages, booked calls, trials and where in the journey that lever lives.
02 · Design a minimal test
Change as few things as possible: layout, copy emphasis, pathing, or offer framing. Enough to learn, not enough to confuse the data.
03 · Decide & document
Ship the winner (or revert), then record what we tried, what happened, and what we'd do again so future tests build on it.
Analytics & CRO as the nervous system of your asset.
This service is designed to sit on top of the rest of the Margin stack, so you're not guessing in silos. Performance web, SEO, monetization, media buying they all feed data in, and they all benefit from what we learn.

SEO & content systems
Intent & conversion
Tie queries and topics to real actions so your publishing roadmap is driven by outcomes.
Media buying & monetization

Use clean data to decide what to scale, what to fix, and what to turn off before it burns margin.
