Create your project brief

Ways to use this expertise

Common projects you can hire for

Clear, business-focused scopes you can post as a brief — each can be adjusted and priced with the freelancer you choose.

01

GA4 migration and baseline setup

Move tracking from Universal Analytics (if needed), configure a GA4 property, and establish trustworthy baseline events so data can be used for decisions.

  • Audit of existing analytics (report of gaps and risks)
  • Event plan listing agreed conversion and custom events
  • Google Tag Manager or gtag.js implementation
  • Verification checklist and basic data quality report
02

Marketing dashboard in Looker Studio

Create a branded dashboard that pulls GA4 and ad-platform metrics so monthly performance is obvious at a glance.

  • KPI mapping workshop (decide the metrics to show)
  • Looker Studio report with filters and key charts
  • Source connectors (GA4, Google Ads, or CSV imports)
  • Short handover notes and a 30–60 minute walkthrough
03

Ecommerce tracking and conversion accuracy

Implement accurate ecommerce events and revenue tracking so you can trust conversion numbers and attribute sales correctly.

  • Ecommerce event plan and parameter mapping
  • GTM server/client-side tagging changes or code snippets
  • Test plan with live verification and debugging
  • Optional BigQuery export setup advice (advanced reporting)

Pricing guidance

How much does GA4 work cost?

Indicative NZD freelancer-fee ranges to help you budget. GST and any ongoing platform costs vary, so agree the final scope and price directly with your freelancer.

Data audit & short recommendations

A 1–2 day audit that checks configuration, events, and reporting, and delivers a prioritised action list.

NZ$800–NZ$2,500

Full GA4 implementation

Includes event planning, Tag Manager work or developer snippets, testing, and setup of baseline dashboards.

NZ$2,500–NZ$8,000

Dashboard build + monthly support

Ongoing dashboard improvements, monthly reports, and analytics support billed as a retainer or recurring agreement.

NZ$500–NZ$3,000 / month

What affects the price

  • Number of domains, subdomains and cross-domain tracking needs
  • Ecommerce or custom event complexity (many products, subscriptions)
  • Need for developer time or server-side tagging
  • Frequency of reporting and level of dashboard customisation

Estimates are indicative, may exclude GST and ongoing software or platform fees, and final scope and rates are agreed directly with the freelancer.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions before you hire.

Answers to the questions clients commonly ask before starting a brief.

Still deciding what you need?

Start with the outcome and the context you already have. A polished specification is not required.

How long does a GA4 setup usually take?

A simple audit and setup can take a few days; a full implementation with ecommerce and dashboards commonly takes 2–6 weeks depending on developer availability and complexity.

Do I need Google Tag Manager?

GTM is recommended because it centralises tracking and makes future changes easier, but simple sites can use GA4's basic tag if fewer custom events are required.

Will my data stay private and compliant?

Ask applicants how they will work with your consent settings, data access and retention requirements. You remain responsible for your own privacy and legal obligations.

How do I choose the right freelancer?

Look for relevant GA4 and Looker Studio examples, ask for an audit-style plan, confirm experience with your CMS or ecommerce platform, and agree deliverables and timing before starting.

Can freelancers provide ongoing help after delivery?

Yes — ongoing support or a maintenance retainer is agreed directly with the freelancer; make sure to include expected hours and deliverables in your brief.
