Resources

Guides, not classroom examples.

Everything here comes from systems I have actually built for clients: GA4 and GTM, server-side tagging, SaaS go-to-market, and what happens when you build a website with an AI assistant instead of a template.

Google Signals, Google Ads, and the Consent Mode Shift: What Marketers Actually Need to Understand

Google is changing the way Google Signals works with Google Ads. From June 15, 2026, Google Signals in GA4 will no longer be the main control for Google Ads cookies and IDs collected through the Google Analytics tag and SDK. Google Ads data use will be governed more directly through Google Ads settings and Consent Mode, while Google Signals will mainly control signed-in user association for behavioral reporting inside GA4. Marketers can still share GA4 audiences with Google Ads, but remarketing eligibility will depend on consent signals, audience rules, product linking, Ads settings, and first-party data quality. The practical next step is to audit Consent Mode v2, GA4 and Google Ads linking, audience sharing, key event imports, and privacy documentation.

FAQ Questions
+ What kind of resources do you offer?

In-depth guides on GA4, Google Tag Manager, server-side tagging, SaaS go-to-market, Google Ads, and building with AI — written from real client and product work, not classroom examples. Content ranges from foundational explainers to advanced implementation detail.

+ How often is new content added?

A new guide goes up a few times a quarter, favouring depth over frequency. That cadence picks up around major platform changes — a GA4 shift, a Consent Mode update — when there is something worth writing about immediately.

+ Can I suggest a topic?

Yes. Most posts start from a question I keep getting on client calls or in the courses. Send a topic via email at rudranil@funnelysis.com and if enough people are asking, it becomes a guide.

+ How do I stay updated with new resources?

This page is sorted newest first, and the homepage always shows the three most recent posts. There is no separate mailing list yet — for now, bookmarking this page is the reliable way to catch new guides.

+ Are the resources suitable for beginners?

Most guides open with the foundational concept before going deep, so you do not need prior context to start. A few are written for people who already have an implementation in place and want the advanced technique — those say so upfront.

+ Can I share these with my team?

Yes — share the link freely. If you are using a guide for internal training, I would just ask that you link to the original rather than reproducing the full text elsewhere.

+ How current are the resources with platform changes?

Analytics platforms move fast, and I try to keep pace: GA4, GTM, and Consent Mode content gets revisited when Google ships something that changes the guidance. If you spot something out of date, email me and I will fix it.

+ How do the resources relate to your courses?

The resources are free, focused, and stand alone. The courses go deeper on the same topics with structured projects and support. A guide here is often the fastest way to solve one specific problem; a course is for building the fuller skill.
