A Data-Driven Approach To Business Growth
Ensure Every Action You Take Is Meaningful And Relevant To Your Business Goals
Most business owners focus on the metrics of who, what, and where but the biggest impact comes from asking and understanding why, how, and so. It’s what ensures you have the right knowledge at the right time so you can make the right decisions and take the right actions.

You’re ready To Use YoUr Data
To See Different Results, You Must Do Something Different
But you might be wondering: “What does that even mean?! How do I know what to do differently or what to change? And how can I make sure I don’t change the wrong thing and sabotage my success?”
We get it! Embracing a data-first approach to making business, website, marketing, and SEO decisions can feel intimidating. This stuff is also complex and confusing — there’s a lot of jargon to wade through!
That’s What We’re Here For
We’re seasoned digital consultants and business analysts who geek out on all things data. We love empowering business owners like you to feel confident about the decisions you make — and yeah, along with audits and strategic plans, we also work with you to implement everything we recommend.
It All Starts With Analytics
Everything We Do Starts And Ends With Your Data
We advocate for a data-first approach to making decisions about website enhancements, content creation, search engine optimization, marketing and advertising campaigns, and brand building. Why? There’s no point in taking action if you’re not testing, measuring, and tracking results.
Plus, We Don’t Guess
We’re data analysts. So, beyond the typical metrics like who is engaging, what they are doing, and where they are coming from, we dig in to understand the why behind the results and how it’s relevant to your business so you can:
- Do more of what is working and test ways to increase results.
- Tweak what isn’t working and track the impact of changes made.
- Add what’s missing and take advantage of new opportunities.
Relevant Data Vs. Irrelevant Data
Some Data Doesn’t Matter, Knowing What To Pay Attention To Does
Once you see how powerful knowing your numbers and tracking your metrics can be, it’s easy to get excited and start looking at everything. But that’s the fastest way to get overwhelmed and waste time on metrics that don’t matter.
Relevancy Makes All The Difference
The best thing to do when evaluating your data and deciding what to track and why, is to ask questions. Better questions yield better answers. Better answers drive smarter actions. Smarter actions produce better outcomes.
Asking questions also helps identify different types of data like:
- Vanity Data: Metrics that feel good but don’t move the needle.
- Interesting Data: Metrics worth keeping an eye on but aren’t relevant.
- Useful Data: Metrics directly related to your business goals.
Analyze + Architect + Advance
Three Step Framework For Data Success
Step 1: Analyze
We audit your analytics foundation and assess what is and is not working so you know where you stand.
We seek to understand your business model and goals, identify the metrics that matter, and review the data for everything you’re doing.
This can include your website, email, social media, advertising, marketing, SEO, content, and more.
Step 2: Architect
We create a strategic plan that outlines how you’ll get from where you are to where you want to be.
We use competitor data, audience research, and our analysis findings to identify issues to fix, opportunities to take advantage of, gaps to overcome, and the best next steps to take.
The tactics we include in your data strategy depend on your business.
Step 3: Advance
We work your strategic plan for you, implementing the recommendations made and reporting results.
While you’re busy running your business and doing your thing, we work to build momentum and move your business forward.
Most clients work with us for a minimum of 6 months. Many work with us for 12 months or more.
“I was working on two different projects that needed analytics support at the same time — a big agency was involved in one project and I hired Lorraine and Bonnie to provide analytics consulting for the other. HOLY MOLY. What a night and day difference! They helped me get everything I needed set up, configured, and working properly in mere hours, while the other agency took weeks to do the same thing and made errors I then had to deal with. They also answered every one of my questions (even the seemingly dumb ones) with patience and respect. Thank you so much for making my life easier and helping us move quickly.”
