Key Project Stages

- Stage 1: Preparation Phase

Platform identification (Yandex Cloud)

  • Customer requirements analysis

  • Selection of tools (Yandex.Metrica, AppMetrica, ClickHouse, DataLens)

Stage 2. Setting up data collection

2.1. Implementing web analytics

Installed Yandex.Metrica on 2 websites:

Welcome landing page

  • Main platform with courses

2.2. Setting up mobile analytics

  • Integrated AppMetrica tracking into iOS and Android apps

2.3. Configuring conversion tracking in Yandex.Metrica

  • Transitions to introductory lessons

  • Transitions to registration

  • Platform registration

  • Lesson views on the platform

Stage 3. Data integration and processing

3.1. Setting up user event parameter transmission

Each user registered on the platform is assigned a unique user ID (UserID) ➡ We pass these to Yandex.Metrica as visit parameters ➡ Link them with Yandex.Metrica's ClientID

3.2. Organising data storage

  • Created a database using Managed Service for ClickHouse within Yandex Cloud

3.3. Automating data transfer

  • Developed Python scripts for:

Advertising costs (Yandex.Direct, VK)

  • Data from Yandex.Metrica

  • Data from AppMetrica

Stage 4. Infrastructure setup

Creating a virtual machine via Compute Cloud

  • Uploading data transfer scripts and configuring their regular execution

Stage 5. Data visualisation

Configured data visualisation in DataLens so the client receives the final analysis results in the form of a dashboard.

  • During the project, we created:

Datasets and data merging at the dataset level

  • Connection to ClickHouse

  • Charts

  • Dashboards

Key results

The team implemented a secure analytics solution for the client on Yandex Cloud. A unified dashboard was created, reports were automated, and control over KPIs and advertising costs was established — all without the use of foreign services.

Key results:

  • Information security compliant with Federal Law 152 (highest protection level — SU-1)

  • Data retention ensured through automatic backups and replication

  • Consolidation of all company data for analysis of any complexity and depth

  • Hosting of websites and web services in the cloud for maximum scalability and performance speed

  • Maximum visualisation speed thanks to built-in integration with Yandex's BI system, DataLens

The seven modern cases at /cases use a different proof model: per-engine AI mention rate, citation tracking across nine engines, and weekly delta reports. Different category, different proof, different era.
