Areas of expertise
- Web analytics and measurement architecture: designing and auditing how websites, analytics platforms, advertising systems, and business data exchange measurement signals.
- Conversion tracking and attribution: diagnosing missing, duplicated, delayed, or misattributed conversions across browser, server, advertising, analytics, and CRM layers.
- PPC measurement and advertising effectiveness: evaluating campaign performance through reliable conversion data rather than platform metrics in isolation.
- Analytics and end-to-end measurement audits: finding breaks between acquisition, on-site behavior, leads, CRM stages, purchases, and reporting.
- Technical implementation and diagnostics: translating tracking and advertising requirements into workflows that developers, analysts, and marketing teams can test and maintain.
- AI-assisted professional workflows: developing metricfixer Special Workflows and pilot analytical products that use AI to support audits, diagnostics, measurement setup, and advertising-performance analysis.
Editorial work at metricfixer
At metricfixer, Mikalai writes practical research, implementation guides, and diagnostic frameworks for analysts, performance marketers, developers, and business owners. The publication work covers topics such as GA4 and Google Tag Manager troubleshooting, Google Ads measurement, Meta advertising and conversion tracking, consent implementation, CRM reconciliation, and technical SEO where measurement and website architecture intersect.
The editorial approach is deliberately system-oriented. Instead of treating a green tag status, a platform conversion, or a dashboard number as final proof, the analysis follows the full chain of evidence: browser behavior, network requests, tag execution, platform processing, attribution, CRM data, and reporting. This makes the material useful both for specialists debugging complex implementations and for readers who need to understand why advertising and analytics systems sometimes tell different stories.
Current focus
Mikalai currently leads development work around metricfixer Special Workflows and pilot projects in advertising-efficiency management, analytics auditing and implementation, end-to-end measurement, and professional analytical products built with AI. The objective is to turn recurring technical and measurement problems into repeatable workflows that can be checked, explained, and improved in production environments.
