About this listen
If your “conversions” are just page views, you’re not reporting performance.
You’re committing fraud with better fonts.
In this episode, Dana DiTomaso (Principal & Founder, Kick Point Inc. | Founder & Instructor, Analytics Playbook) breaks down why fake conversions keep surviving...and how leaders can rebuild measurement that reflects reality.
This isn’t just an analytics episode. It’s a leadership episode: because truth requires standards and psychological safety, and client trust collapses when dashboards become theater.
What you’ll learn
- The most egregious conversion setup Dana’s seen (and how it makes revenue look imaginary).
- Why “contact page views” are not leads...and the cleaner alternatives.
- Why GA4 + paid platforms don’t always match and how GTM trigger mismatches create measurement chaos.
- Dana’s metric take: stop using bounce rate; use engagement rate.
- The agency founder play: improve measurement, then wean clients from bad metrics to good metrics without detonating trust.
