Challenge
Holy Cross Family Ministries, a global Catholic ministry dedicated to strengthening families through prayer and faith-based programming, faced an urgent digital challenge. With Google's retirement of Universal Analytics rapidly approaching, the organization needed to migrate 17 website properties to Google Analytics 4 (GA4) before losing critical reporting capabilities. In addition, they relied on custom Looker reporting dashboards for performance insights and needed those reports updated to work with the new analytics framework.
At the same time, Holy Cross Family Ministries wanted to improve engagement on their primary website by adding a prominent call-to-action button to encourage visitor action and support ministry goals. The organization required a partner who could execute the migration quickly, preserve reporting continuity, and ensure their marketing technology ecosystem remained connected and reliable.
Solution
No Bounds Digital developed and executed a focused modernization project designed to protect Holy Cross Family Ministries' reporting infrastructure while enhancing website engagement.
The project included:
- Migration of 17 website properties from Universal Analytics to Google Analytics 4.
- Comprehensive review and validation of existing tracking configurations.
- Integration of GA4 with HubSpot to ensure marketing and visitor data remained connected across platforms.
- Updating existing Looker reports and dashboards to leverage GA4 data sources and maintain reporting continuity.
- Design and implementation of a new homepage call-to-action button modeled after the ministry's existing donation experience, ensuring consistency with the site's design and user experience.
No Bounds Digital worked under a compressed timeline to complete the migration before Universal Analytics stopped processing data. The team conducted testing and validation throughout the project to ensure accurate reporting and seamless functionality across all properties.
Results
The project successfully modernized Holy Cross Family Ministries' analytics infrastructure while minimizing disruption to ongoing ministry operations.
Key outcomes included:
- Successful migration of 17 web properties to Google Analytics 4.
- Preservation of critical website and marketing performance reporting through updated Looker dashboards.
- Seamless integration between GA4 and HubSpot, enabling improved visibility into visitor engagement and marketing performance.
