What's a good Tag Fire Rate?

A good Tag Fire Rate for a local business is 95.0% or higher. Percentage of expected tag/pixel fires that actually occurred. An excellent Tag Fire Rate — the top tier Karbon Agency grades client campaigns against — is 99.0% or higher, while 80.0% marks the minimum acceptable tier.

Why Tag Fire Rate matters

Missing tag fires mean missing data. If tags only fire 80% of the time, you are underreporting conversions by 20%, leading to poor optimization decisions.
