Why Intently

Attribution only works when
the signal is complete.
Intently starts there.

Client-side tags often lose conversion signal silently. Black-box credit tools hide the math. Intently starts with first-party capture — attributes with models you can audit, proves each conversion reached your ad platforms, and uses AI on behavioral data GA4 cannot see.

The problem

Signal loss is the default — not the exception.

Every layer between your site and your ad platform is a place data can disappear. Most stacks accept that as normal.

Ad-blockers eat your pixels

Browser extensions often block third-party scripts before they fire. Meta, TikTok, and GA4 tags never see the conversion — and you never know it happened.

Consent breaks client-side tags

When a visitor denies marketing cookies, client-side pixels are supposed to stop — but enforcement is fragile, inconsistent, and impossible to audit at scale.

You cannot see what you lost

Server-side tools hide delivery failures. Client-side tools hide blocked events. Most stacks give you channel reports built on incomplete data — without proof conversions reached ad platforms.

Five vendors, one broken pipeline

Most stacks buy a CMP, a tag gateway, pixels, and attribution — and hope the handoffs hold. Each layer has its own config and blind spot. Signal disappears between them.

Our thesis

Most attribution is built on pixels that never fired — and most dashboards cannot prove conversions reached your ad platforms. Intently captures complete first-party signal server-side, credits revenue with nine transparent models you can inspect, ties Stripe and CRM closed-won to the same journeys, syncs ad spend for ROAS, verifies delivery with match quality, and uses AI to explain the numbers with citations — not invented credit.

The product

Complete signal, visible
from day one

Intently is not a tag manager or a dashboard bolt-on. You get capture health, destination delivery, and revenue attribution in one place you can audit.

  • Events and sessions update in real time
  • Server-side recovery shows what browsers would have dropped
  • Attribution and AI sit on the same behavioral foundation

Where the pipeline starts

Same revenue question.
Different starting line.

Attribution dashboards usually begin where credit is assigned. Intently begins where signal is captured — so ROAS is not built on events that never fired.

Stage 02

The visual gap that matters: everything left of a category’s starting line is where incomplete pixels and silent delivery failures become “true ROAS.”

Owns = category strength · Partial = some tools cover it · Consumes = depends on pixels / platform data · Upstream = before that category’s typical entry point. Category comparison — not a named-vendor scorecard.

Competitive landscape

No single category does the full job.

Most stacks buy a CMP, a tag gateway, pixels, and attribution — and hope the handoffs hold. Intently is the tracking infrastructure: capture, server-side consent, routing, and delivery proof — so you are not assembling that layer yourself.

One pipeline

Intently

Capture, server-side consent, routing, and delivery proof in one pipeline — so you are not assembling that layer yourself.

  • Complete first-party capture with live debug overlay
  • Nine transparent models + journey inspector
  • Stripe + HubSpot/Salesforce closed-won on ad journeys
  • Ad spend sync (Meta, Google, Microsoft) for campaign ROAS
  • Server-side delivery with proof and match quality
  • AI that cites attribution numbers — does not invent credit

The assembled stack

What teams stitch together today

  1. 01

    Tag gateway

    You sent it — but did Meta accept it?

  2. 02

    Attribution tool

    Credit runs on pixels that never fired.

  3. 03

    CMP

    Consent breaks client-side enforcement.

  4. 04

    CDP / warehouse

    Signal degrades at every sync.

  5. 05

    Analytics + AI

    AI sees pageviews, not intent behavior.

Each piece can work in isolation. The failure is the handoff — and there is no single view from capture to credited revenue to delivery proof.

What Intently is

The tracking infrastructure — not another point tool

Most stacks buy a CMP, a tag gateway, pixels, and attribution — and hope the handoffs hold. Intently is the tracking infrastructure: capture, server-side consent, routing, and delivery proof — so you are not assembling that layer yourself.

Attribution

Better tracking → better attribution.

Most attribution runs on pixels that never fired. Intently captures complete signal server-side, credits revenue with nine inspectable models, ties Stripe and HubSpot/Salesforce closed-won to ad journeys, imports ad spend for ROAS, and proves delivery to each ad platform.

  • Nine models including last non-direct, linear paid, and source-specific lenses — lookback from 1 day to lifetime
  • Journey inspector: per-touch credit % and credit-by-model matrix
  • Stripe + CRM closed-won and Meta/Google/Microsoft spend for campaign ROAS
  • Delivery proof and match quality on attributed conversions
Attribution dashboard

Capture

One script on your domain. Complete behavioral signal.

Intently runs as a first-party SDK on your site — not a fragile chain of third-party tags. Page views, forms, scroll depth, ecommerce events, and custom interactions are collected with consent enforced server-side before storage or routing.

  • Single `adt.js` install — WordPress, Shopify, Next.js, or script tag
  • Debug overlay shows events, consent blocks, and payloads on your live site
  • No Meta, TikTok, or GA4 scripts required in the browser
How the platform works

Consent

CMP signals in. Policy enforced on the server.

Intently reads consent from OneTrust, Cookiebot, CookieYes, Google Consent Mode, and TCF v2 — then enforces your policy server-side before events are stored or routed. Analytics and marketing consent are evaluated separately.

  • Required, optional, or none — per-account consent mode
  • Per-destination gating: GA4 needs analytics; Meta needs marketing
  • Privacy controls for IP, geolocation, and device fingerprinting
Consent orchestration

Delivery

Route once. Deliver everywhere.

Every enabled destination fires from Intently's servers — Meta CAPI, GA4 Measurement Protocol, TikTok, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Pinterest, X, and Segment. A delivery log records success or failure; Meta sends include Intently Match Score.

  • No third-party ad pixel scripts required in the browser
  • Attribution cookies and click IDs forwarded from first-party context
  • Delivery log + match quality — capture vs delivery visibility
Destination routing

Intelligence

AI on behavioral data GA4 cannot see.

Complete server-side capture means AI can answer attribution and intent questions — not just pageviews. Ask from Attribution for cited model/window/ROAS answers; sessions are scored in real time before they convert.

  • Attribution-cited Ask — explains credit without inventing percentages
  • ROAS pause/scale suggestions with evidence
  • Real-time intent scoring and form/content intelligence
Full capability list

Ready to see it on your stack?

Intently captures what other tools miss, attributes revenue with models you can audit, proves delivery to ad platforms, and uses AI to explain — with citations, not invented credit.

No single stack gives ad buyers complete first-party capture, nine inspectable attribution models, CRM + spend ROAS, delivery proof with match quality, and AI that cites the math — in one pipeline you can audit end to end.
