Event tracking for calls, forms, and brochure downloads

Short answer: Events turn “someone visited” into “someone tried to contact us”—implemented cleanly, they are the bridge between SEO/content work and revenue proof.

Badly named events create unusable reports; invest an hour in a naming convention.

High-value events for SMEs

• Form success (not just submit clicks—validation failures matter).
• Tel: and mailto: clicks on mobile-heavy sites.
• PDF or price list downloads with file name in parameters.

Implementation hygiene

Use GA4 recommended events where they fit; document parameters in a shared sheet. Test with debug view before publishing.

Don’t double count

If Google Ads imports conversions and GA4 also attributes everything, align definitions so optimisation targets one canonical success signal.
