How much does a website cost?

Our websites start at ₱3,000 for a single-page business site and go up depending on complexity. E-commerce sites start at ₱7,000, and custom business systems start at ₱8,000. We always provide a clear quote before starting any work — no surprises.

How long does it take to build a website?

A simple business website typically takes 5–7 working days. More complex projects like e-commerce sites or custom systems take 2–4 weeks. We provide a timeline estimate during your free consultation.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes! All our plans include post-launch support (30–60 days depending on the plan). After that, we offer affordable monthly maintenance packages or you can reach out anytime for one-time fixes and updates.

What is a Data Protection Officer (DPO) service?

As a certified DPO, we help your business comply with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) and international data protection standards. This includes creating privacy policies, conducting data audits, handling compliance documentation, and serving as your outsourced DPO.

Do I need to be in the Philippines to work with you?

Not at all! We work with clients worldwide. Everything is handled online — consultations, project updates, file sharing, and support. We use our client portal so you can track progress from anywhere.

Can I see my project progress while it's being built?

Absolutely. Every client gets access to our Client Portal where you can view project status, track tasks, see invoices, and sign agreements. You'll always know exactly where your project stands.

What technologies do you use?

We primarily build with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS for websites and web applications. For databases, we use Supabase (PostgreSQL). All our solutions are modern, fast, and mobile-responsive.

Is the free consultation really free?

Yes, completely free with no obligation. We'll discuss your needs, recommend solutions, and give you a clear quote. You decide if you want to proceed — no pressure, no hidden fees.

Do you accept international payments?

We're currently setting up international payment options including Stripe and PayPal. For now, we can arrange payment via bank transfer. Contact us and we'll work out the best option for you.

What if I need changes after the project is delivered?

Minor revisions are included during and after the build phase. For larger changes or new features after launch, we provide a quote based on the scope of work. Our clients often come back for ongoing improvements as their business grows.

How to Set Up Google Analytics 4 for Your Philippine Small…

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is now the only version Google supports. The old Universal Analytics was shut down in 2023, and yet most Philippine small business websites we audit either have no analytics at all or have a broken legacy setup that has not recorded a single visitor in two years.

This guide walks through a complete 2026 GA4 setup from zero, no developer needed. Time required: about 45 minutes.

What GA4 Actually Tells You

A working GA4 setup answers questions every business owner needs:

How many people visited your site this week?
Which pages do they actually read?
How long do they stay?
Where do they come from (Google search, Facebook, direct, referrals)?
How many filled out your contact form?
Which traffic sources actually lead to inquiries vs which waste your effort?

Without this data, every marketing decision is a guess.

Step 1 — Create a GA4 Account

Go to analytics.google.com and sign in with the Gmail account you want associated with the business. Click "Start measuring."

Account name: your business name
Property name: your domain (e.g., rdahunanitservices.com)
Time zone: Asia/Manila
Currency: PHP
Business size: small (under 50 employees)
Business objectives: pick whatever applies (lead generation, sales, brand awareness)

Accept the data processing terms when prompted.

Step 2 — Add Your Website Data Stream

In your new property, click "Data streams" → "Add stream" → "Web."

Website URL: enter the full URL including https://
Stream name: your website name
Enhanced measurement: leave ON (auto-tracks scrolls, outbound clicks, file downloads, search queries, video plays)

Save. GA4 will generate a Measurement ID that looks like G-XXXXXXXXXX. Copy this — you will need it in the next step.

Step 3 — Install the Tracking Code on Your Website

You have three options depending on your platform:

If you use WordPress

Install one of these free plugins:

Site Kit by Google (official, recommended)
MonsterInsights Lite
GA Google Analytics

Open the plugin settings, paste your Measurement ID (G-XXXXXXXXXX), save. Done.

If you use Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, or other builders

Look for the "Settings → Marketing & SEO → Custom Code" or "Integrations → Google Analytics" section. Paste your Measurement ID. Save.

If you have a custom-built website

Send your Measurement ID to your developer along with this note: "Please add the GA4 tracking snippet to the global head of all pages. Measurement ID: G-XXXXXXXXXX."

A competent developer can do this in 15 minutes.

Step 4 — Verify GA4 Is Actually Working

In GA4 dashboard, click "Reports" → "Realtime" → wait. Then in another browser tab, open your website. Click around for a minute.

You should see yourself appear in Realtime within 30 seconds. If not, check that the Measurement ID is correctly installed.

Step 5 — Set Up Key Events (Goal Tracking)

Without events, GA4 only tracks page views. Set up these events to measure what actually matters:

form_submission: visitor sent a contact form
phone_click: visitor clicked your phone number (tel: link)
email_click: visitor clicked your email address
scroll_75: visitor read 75%+ of a page (engagement signal)
outbound_click: visitor clicked an external link

GA4 auto-detects some of these via Enhanced Measurement. For form submissions, you may need to add a small snippet to your form (or ask your developer).

In GA4: "Admin → Events → Mark as conversion" — toggle the events that matter most as "conversions."

Step 6 — Add Yourself as an Internal Visitor (So You Do Not Inflate Your Own Stats)

Visiting your own site dozens of times per day skews your analytics.

In GA4: "Admin → Data Filters → Create Filter."

Filter name: "Internal Traffic"
Filter type: "Exclude"
Define internal traffic by IP address (Google your public IP at "whatsmyip.com")
Save

Repeat from your home, office, and laptop.

Step 7 — Connect GA4 to Google Search Console

Search Console shows the keywords people use on Google to find you. Connect it to GA4 to merge that data with your traffic stats.

In GA4: "Admin → Search Console → Links → Link" → pick your verified Search Console property.

If you do not have Search Console set up yet, do that first — it is free and takes 10 minutes.

What to Check Weekly

Set aside 15 minutes every Monday to review:

Traffic by source: where are visitors coming from?
Top pages: what content is working?
Conversions: how many leads/contacts last week?
Real-time before/after a campaign: did your FB post drive traffic?

That is a real data-driven business. Most owners never do it.

Common GA4 Mistakes

Installing the code but never checking the dashboard
Tracking your own internal visits and thinking your site is busier than it is
Setting up GA4 but no events — you get traffic counts but no conversion data
Ignoring Search Console integration — you lose half the picture
Mistaking "users" for "people" (a user is a browser, not a person)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is GA4 free?

Yes, completely free for small business use. GA4 360 is the paid enterprise tier; you do not need it.

Does GA4 work with the Philippine Data Privacy Act?

Yes, with proper Privacy Notice updates. You must disclose GA4 as a third-party processor in your Privacy Notice and explain what data is collected. (See Privacy Notice Template for Philippine Businesses.)

Can I see data from before I installed GA4?

No. GA4 only tracks from the moment you install it. If you had Universal Analytics before, that historical data is gone unless you exported it.

Want Help With Setup?

We set up GA4 (plus Search Console, schema markup, and conversion tracking) as part of every website project at RDahunan I.T. Services. Already have a site and need analytics done right? Send us a message for a 30-minute setup.
