Lena covers SEO, analytics, and conversion strategy for startups preparing public launches.

Choose the essential analytics events that reveal whether launch traffic is finding value, converting, or getting stuck.

Launch traffic is precious because it shows what real visitors do before the product story has been over-optimized. The right analytics events help you learn quickly.

Track The Main Conversion

Every site needs a primary success event: account created, demo booked, checkout completed, email captured, or project created. This event should be tested before launch traffic starts.

Track Friction Points

Record form errors, payment failures, failed logins, and abandoned onboarding steps. These events show where interest turns into confusion.

Preserve Source Attribution

Campaign tags, referrers, and landing pages help explain which announcement channels actually worked. Without attribution, launch results become guesswork.

Good analytics do not need to be complicated. A small set of accurate events is more useful than a dashboard full of numbers nobody trusts.
