| Channel / surface | Weight | ${geo.name}-specific rationale |
|---|---|---|
| GA4 + GTM (client + server-side) | Foundation | Required baseline. Server-side GTM hosted on Cloudflare Workers or Google Cloud Run for first-party domain ownership of pixel + event data. In Austin, this channel's weight is calibrated to the local CPM / CAC bands and buyer behaviour. |
| Meta CAPI + Google Ads server-side conversions | Primary | Server-to-server event API for post-iOS attribution rigor. Deduplicated against client-side pixel events. In Austin, this channel's weight is calibrated to the local CPM / CAC bands and buyer behaviour. |
| Lifecycle automations (Klaviyo / Customer.io / Wati) | Compounding | Email + WhatsApp + SMS lifecycle flows triggered from CRM + warehouse data. Highest-leverage retention investment in most businesses. In Austin, this channel's weight is calibrated to the local CPM / CAC bands and buyer behaviour. |
| CRM + warehouse pipeline | Supporting | Segment / RudderStack / Snowplow into warehouse → reverse-ETL back to ad platforms. Required for cohort-level attribution + LTV-based bidding. In Austin, this channel's weight is calibrated to the local CPM / CAC bands and buyer behaviour. |
