Hey there,

I audited 50+ GA4 setups in the last quarter, and **95% had critical issues** that were bleeding ad spend and breaking attribution.

The worst part? Most marketers don't even know their data is broken until they've already wasted thousands.

Today, I'm sharing the **Critical 15** \- the exact items that, if broken, will cost you money IMMEDIATELY.

Fix these 15 items today, and you'll:

- ✅ Stop wasting ad budget on bad data
- ✅ Actually trust your conversion numbers
- ✅ Make Smart Bidding work properly
- ✅ Keep your job (seriously, broken tracking = bad decisions)

**Week 2: E-commerce Tracking Masterclass**

If you sell products online, next week's edition is ESSENTIAL. I'll cover:

- The complete e-commerce event flow (view\_item → purchase)
- How to fix revenue attribution
- Cart abandonment tracking
- Product performance analysis
- Why your revenue numbers are probably wrong

## 📊 One More Thing...

If you fixed even 5 of these 15 items today, you're already ahead of 90% of marketers.

But here's the truth: **most marketers won't do this**.

They'll read this, think "I should do that," and then... nothing.

Don't be that person.

Block 1 hour on your calendar RIGHT NOW and fix these issues.

Your future self (and your boss) will thank you.
