"Having [an Upfront rep] on our team meant we could trust our sales data again"

"When Google required all businesses to migrate to Google Analytics 4 in 2023, we needed to stay focused on our daily operations. Our Upfront rep ensured we didn’t lose access to mission-critical data we use to run our business every day. They also discovered and corrected data issues our former paid ads agency caused. Having [an Upfront rep] on our team meant we could trust our critical analytics data again."
