Aura Tracker · Layer 1 of Mediaura Signal
The Tracking Layer Your Marketing Stack Was Supposed to Have All Along
Aura Tracker is the first-party signal capture infrastructure that powers Mediaura Signal. It runs on your domain, captures the events your off-the-shelf pixels miss, scrubs PHI before it ever leaves the browser session, and bridges the systems that have spent the last decade refusing to talk to each other.
Live in production today. HIPAA-compliant by design. BAA included.
Your Tracking Isn't a System. It's a Pile.
Walk into any mid-market marketing operation and look at the tracking stack. There's a Tag Manager container with eighteen tags, half of them owned by people who don't work there anymore. There's a Meta pixel that fires twice on the thank-you page and not at all on mobile Safari. There's a CallRail account that knows which calls came from which keywords but has no idea those calls turned into $400K of closed business in the CRM. There's a Leadfeeder subscription that identifies anonymous visitors by company but can't tell HubSpot what campaign brought them. There's a Zapier account holding it all together with seventeen zaps and a prayer.
This is not a tracking strategy. This is sediment.
And the cost isn't just messy data — it's that every layer of the marketing intelligence stack above it inherits the mess. Better dashboards on broken inputs just produce prettier wrong answers. Smarter attribution models on fragmented identity just give the wrong channel credit more confidently. AI assistants on top of all of it just hallucinate with style.
The only fix is to replace the foundation.
The Infrastructure
Purpose-Built First-Party Infrastructure
Aura Tracker is not a tag. It is not a wrapper around someone else's pixel. It is not a Tag Manager template. It is a complete first-party tracking infrastructure that we deploy on your domain, configure to your specific stack, and operate as a managed service underneath everything else Mediaura Signal does.
It ships today as either a standalone script or a Tag Manager custom HTML tag, so clients with existing GTM investments don't have to rip anything out to deploy it.
What it captures, out of the box
Pageviews and form submissions
Auto-captured on load, with password and hidden fields automatically excluded from form data.
Five ad platform click IDs
Google (gclid), Meta (fbclid), Microsoft (msclkid), LinkedIn (li_fat_id), and TikTok (ttclid), captured the moment a visitor lands on your site.
Full UTM parameter capture
Every UTM, persisted to first-touch attribution that survives subsequent sessions.
First-touch attribution
Preserved across the entire customer journey, including across the handoff to call tracking.
Session-scoped identity
Tab-aware, persistent across page navigations.
Native call tracking handoff
First-touch attribution pushed directly into CallTrackingMetrics so the call you receive carries the campaign that earned it.
What makes it different
First-party by default
Runs on your domain, not ours. Browser privacy defenses, ad blockers, and iOS tracking restrictions treat it as part of your site — because it is.
Resilient by design
Events ship fire-and-forget with a built-in retry policy. If our backend ever goes down, events buffer to disk and drain automatically when service resumes. You don't lose conversions because we had a bad afternoon.
Survives the cookie apocalypse
Built for a world where third-party cookies are gone and signed-in identity is the new floor.
Continuously monitored
When a tag breaks, a property duplicates, or a conversion stops firing, you find out the same hour — not the next quarterly review.
Managed, not handed off
Operated as a service. You don't get a config file and a wiki page. You get an engineering team that owns the layer.
Production-proven
Deployed today across healthcare, restaurant, and B2B clients. Not aspirational.
Compliance
Built for the Regulated Industries Other Tools Won't Touch
Most tracking infrastructure was built assuming a low-stakes, ecommerce-style use case. Aura Tracker was built assuming the opposite — that the customer might be a behavioral health treatment center, the data might include PHI, and the consequences of a leaked event might be a HIPAA violation.
PHI scrubbing is not a setting in Aura Tracker. It is the pipeline.
Four layers of scrubbing, applied to every event
Field rules
Known fields like names, emails, and SSNs are matched against an explicit policy and either hashed or redacted before the event is even queued. No guessing.
Pattern detection
Every field value is scanned against regex patterns for SSNs, email addresses, phone numbers, medical record numbers, and dates of birth. Anything that matches gets caught even if the field wasn't explicitly named.
Medical keyword detection
A maintained library of ~150 medical terms — conditions, treatments, medications, diagnoses — is matched against every value via fast set lookup and substring detection. A field that says "diabetes consultation" gets flagged regardless of what the form called it.
Default-hash safety net
Anything not on an explicit allowlist is hashed by default. The pipeline is biased toward catching too much, not too little.
Per-site cryptographic isolation
Every Aura Tracker deployment gets its own 256-bit HMAC key, generated from a cryptographic random source. This means hashed identities from one client site cannot be correlated against hashed identities from any other client site — not even within Mediaura's own infrastructure.
Multi-tenant isolation isn't a configuration. It's a mathematical property.
Every event ships with a scrub audit report
When a compliance officer asks "show me what was scrubbed from this event and which rule caught it" — the answer is already in the event. Every event Aura Tracker processes carries a complete audit trail: which fields were scrubbed, which rules matched, and which policy version was active at the time.
You don't reconstruct compliance after the fact. You ship it inline.
What that adds up to
HIPAA-compliant by design
PHI is never transmitted to our infrastructure unencrypted, and most of it is never transmitted at all.
BAA included as standard
For all healthcare engagements.
SOC 2 audit in progress
Operating to SOC 2 controls today; formal certification underway in 2026.
LegitScript ecosystem expertise
Built by the team that helped onboard 50 of the first 100 LegitScript-certified addiction treatment providers.
GDPR & CCPA-compliant
Consent-aware, first-party only.
Auditable end-to-end
Every event, every transformation, every push to a downstream system is logged and traceable.
Integrations
The Integrations No One Else Has Built
Almost every system in your marketing stack does one job well and refuses to do anything else. Aura Tracker is the layer that closes every one of those gaps — and it's doing it in production for clients today.
Visitor Identification → CRM
Live todayLive: Leadfeeder → HubSpot, Salesforce · On request: ZoomInfo, Clearbit Reveal, 6sense → Pipedrive, Microsoft Dynamics
When an anonymous visitor is identified to a company, Aura Tracker doesn't just log it. The pixel data fills in the gaps — attaching the originating campaign, the channel, the keyword, and every touchpoint in the session — and pushes a fully-formed contact or lead into your CRM with attribution intact. Sales gets a lead that already knows where it came from. Marketing gets credit for the pipeline.
Call Tracking → CRM, EMR, and Intake Systems
Live todayLive: CallRail, CallTrackingMetrics → HubSpot, Salesforce, Dazos · In development: Invoca, Kipu, Sunwave, additional EMR integrations
This is the integration most healthcare and high-consideration B2B operators have given up on. The call tracker knows the keyword. The intake system knows the admit. Nobody connects them. Aura Tracker matches the inbound call back to the originating session — keyword, creative, landing page, device, prior touchpoints — and pushes the enriched call event into your intake system, your CRM, or both. When the patient admits or the deal closes, the revenue flows back through the bridge to the campaign that earned it.
POS and Transaction Systems → Marketing Intelligence
Live todayLive: Toast, Olo, Thanx → Mediaura Signal and the ad platforms
Every closed transaction reconciled against the marketing journey that produced it, then fed back into Google and Meta as a server-side conversion event so the platforms optimize toward your real revenue.
Foot Traffic and Trade Area Intelligence
Live todayLive: Placer.ai → Mediaura Signal
For multi-location restaurants and B2B operations with physical locations, Aura Tracker integrates Placer.ai foot traffic and trade-area data into the same attribution model as your digital signals. Click → visit → transaction, in one connected story.
Server-Side Conversion APIs (CAPI)
Native integrationLive: Google Ads, Meta CAPI, TikTok Events API, LinkedIn CAPI
The conversions ad platforms actually trust — first-party, server-side, deduped against client-side events, with the full customer journey context attached. No third-party tools in between. Native, direct, and built into the pipeline. Your CPMs go down. Your ROAS goes up. Not because of a campaign change, but because the platforms finally have clean data to optimize against.
Forms, Chat, and Scheduling → Everything
Live todayLive: Native HTML forms, HubSpot forms, Calendly, Acuity, most major chat and scheduling tools
Every lead capture surface, regardless of vendor, unified under one event stream and one identity model. No more reconciling four different "lead" definitions across four different vendor dashboards.
Aura Tracker vs. Everything Else
vs. Freshpaint
Freshpaint is a strong product for HIPAA-compliant event collection. It solves part of Layer 1. It does not solve the bridging problem — the connections from call tracking to intake systems, from visitor identification to CRM, from POS to ad platforms, from foot traffic to attribution. It is also a self-serve product, which means your team is responsible for configuring, monitoring, and maintaining it. Aura Tracker is operated as a managed service by the engineering team that built it.
vs. Segment
Segment is a customer data platform designed for product analytics and downstream tool routing. It assumes you already have clean events to send it. Aura Tracker is the layer that produces the clean events in the first place — the layer that sits below where Segment expects its inputs to come from. They're not really competitors; they're at different altitudes of the stack.
vs. Google Tag Manager + a pile of pixels
This is what most mid-market operators are running today. It's free, it's familiar, and it's the source of the problem. Tags accumulate, ownership decays, monitoring is nonexistent, PHI handling is your problem, and the bridge integrations don't exist at all. GTM is a tool. Aura Tracker is infrastructure. (And if you're committed to GTM, Aura Tracker ships as a custom HTML tag — no rip-and-replace required.)
vs. The DIY duct-tape stack
Every mid-market marketing operation has tried this and every mid-market marketing operation has discovered the same thing: it works until it doesn't, it breaks silently, and the person who built it is no longer at the company. Aura Tracker is what you build when you decide to stop rebuilding it every eighteen months.
vs. Building it in-house
You can. We did. It took years, a dedicated engineering team, a four-layer PHI scrubbing pipeline, ongoing investment in compliance certifications, native integrations with every major CAPI, and a deep understanding of every quirk in every ad platform's conversion API. If your business is marketing intelligence, that investment makes sense. If your business is anything else, it doesn't.
Layer 1 of a Four-Layer System
Aura Tracker is the foundation. The rest of Mediaura Signal is built on top of it.
Aura Tracker
Captures, scrubs, and bridges the signals
Identity Resolution
Stitches them into a single customer record
Revenue Mapping
Ties that customer to actual booked dollars
M-CE
Runs the causal models that explain what happened and forecast what's next
And on top of all of it, Aura — the agentic AI analyst that doesn't do the math, but uses these tools to answer the questions that matter in plain English.
Without Layer 1, none of the layers above it can be trusted. With Layer 1 done right, every layer above it gets dramatically better — because every layer above it is finally working with data that reflects reality.
