Switching to Matomo gives Property Investments UK the data accuracy and privacy they could trust

Property Investments UK a leading real estate investment company, struggled with unreliable data and growing concerns over the lack of privacy offered by Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Without confidence in their data, making informed decisions was a challenge, and the privacy risks were too big to ignore.

After switching to Matomo, they gained accurate, reliable insights and peace of mind with strong privacy protection, improving both their customer experience and overall business performance.

Needing better data and privacy 

Using Google Analytics 4 left Property Investments UK uncertain about the accuracy of their data. They needed more reliable insights to improve their website and wanted to respect their visitors’ privacy at the same time. 

“Our concern with only using free products for our web analytics was the data would be limited, and worse maybe misleading. We needed a quality solution that we could rely on to make critical business decisions and would be good not just for our team but for users too,” said Rob Jones, Founder of Property Investments UK. 

Choosing Matomo 

After researching options, Property Investments UK turned to Matomo based on strong recommendations from industry peers. “Whenever we asked peers what they were using, the response was always Matomo,” said Rob Jones.
