As an agency, your promise is clear: generate performance (ROAS), create beautiful websites or build impactful brand strategies.

But for a few years now, a grain of sand has been jamming the machine. That grain of sand is called "the technical side".

Between browser restrictions on cookies, the complexity of server-side setups, conversion APIs (CAPI) and FADP/GDPR compliance headaches, your teams spend more time debugging Google Tag Manager than optimising your campaigns.

What if you turned this thorn in your side into a growth lever? Here are 5 reasons to make A-Track your exclusive technical partner.

1. You deliver the performance, we handle the "plumbing"

Let's be honest: setting up a server-side container or connecting a CRM via API is not the core business of a media buyer or a front-end developer. It's a job in its own right.

By delegating this part to A-Track, you free up your team.

  • You focus on what shows: creative, strategy, media buying, UX.

  • We handle what doesn't show but is vital: advanced web tracking, server-side implementation, offline/CRM data feeds.

Our experts train continuously on the latest developments. While you look after your clients, we make sure the data flows cleanly.

2. Sleep well, and so will your client: FADP/GDPR compliance taken care of

Compliance has become a source of anxiety for agencies. One misconfiguration, one data leak, and your liability may be at stake or your client's trust broken.

With A-Track, that risk drops sharply. We don't just do tracking: we build in Privacy by Design. Every setup we deliver goes through a compliance acceptance test before going live, against the FADP (Switzerland) and the GDPR (EU): no non-essential tags before consent where consent is required, refusals respected, documentation up to date. We take technical responsibility for the data collection we set up; your client remains the controller under the law. For you, that means peace of mind.

3. A clear pricing model: no unpleasant surprises

A-Track prices for partner agencies: implementation packages from CHF 1,200, 2,400 or 4,800 excl. VAT depending on the site, maintenance from CHF 900 per year, CMP licence and hosting extra.

Nothing is more frustrating for an agency than going back to a client to ask for more budget because a licence or a server nobody anticipated now has to be paid for.

Our model is simple: fixed implementation packages from CHF 1,200 excl. VAT (CHF 1,200, 2,400 or 4,800 excl. VAT depending on the site's complexity) and maintenance from CHF 900 excl. VAT per year. The CMP licence and tracking server hosting are not included in these packages: they are priced separately, right in the quote.

  • No hidden costs.

  • No runaway hourly billing.

  • Easy budgeting for your quotes.

4. A business partner that supports you throughout the sales process

We are not developers hidden in a basement. We position ourselves as an extension of your team.

Got an important pitch? A prospect questioning the reliability of the data or the legality of the setup?

  • Responsiveness: we answer your technical questions quickly so your sales are never blocked.

  • Pre-sales support: we can join you to reassure the end client, explain the added value of server-side tracking and help you close the deal.

We are here to make your technical offer more credible, not more complicated.

5. Save time and (a little) money

How the A-Track partner commission works for agencies: the agency introduces its client, A-Track delivers audit, setup and maintenance, and the agency earns a commission at the same client price.

This is the final argument. Working with A-Track pays off.

Not only do you save the non-billable hours spent fixing tracking bugs, we also reward the partnership. For every client you bring us, you earn a partner commission. It applies to:

  • the audit and initial setup;

  • annual maintenance contracts.

You create a new stream of recurring revenue for your agency, with no extra production effort.

The price and service for the end client stay the same and match what is shown on our website. It's simply our way of thanking you for the introduction and the project management. We only ask that you don't sell above our reference prices.

Conclusion: stronger together on data

The digital landscape is becoming too complex to do everything alone. The best agencies in French-speaking Switzerland have understood this: to stay effective, they surround themselves with specialist experts. On top of technical expertise, we support you in a friendly and proactive way, working hand in hand with your teams.

Don't let tracking and compliance slow your growth any longer. Give your clients a robust, lawful and effective data infrastructure while protecting your core business. To go further, read our complete FADP / GDPR compliance guide.

Questions fréquemment posées

What is "Client-Side" (classic) tracking?

▾
This is the traditional method where the user's browser (Chrome, Safari) directly sends data to platforms (Facebook, Google). It has become fragile due to ad blockers and browser restrictions (ITP).

What is "Server-Side" tracking?

▾
It is a method where the browser sends data to your intermediary server (proxy), which cleans it and then forwards it to the platforms. You maintain full control of the data before it goes to the GAFAM.

What is the ROI of a tracking compliance project?

▾
There is no universal figure: it depends on your advertising budget, the share of conversions currently lost or misattributed, and your margin.

To estimate it, compare your back-office sales or leads over one month with those reported in Google Ads, Meta or GA4, quantify the gap, then weigh it against the project cost (setup and maintenance). As a benchmark, based on our measurements across more than 100 installations (Stape Analytics), server-side tracking recovers 30 to 80% more data depending on the site, around 40% on average: an order of magnitude, not a guarantee. On top of that come gains that are harder to quantify but real: lower legal risk and decisions based on reliable data.

What is the first step to working with experts like a-track.ch?

▾
The first step is always the Audit. It is impossible to build a solid house without checking the condition of the ground. The audit allows you to list security flaws and opportunities for data improvement.

What deliverables do we receive after a tracking mission?

▾
Generally: a tagging plan, access to the clean GTM container, documentation of the architecture implemented, and a technical compliance report.

If the tracking breaks, who is responsible towards the client?

▾
If the client has subscribed to our Annual Maintenance offer, A-Track takes technical responsibility for the proper functioning of the tags and commits to response times (SLA). This relieves the agency of the pressure of technical "after-sales service".
