Services and bookings

For career coaches: which posts bring job seekers who book a package.

A career coach sells to people in the middle of a change: a job search, a promotion or a move to a new field, usually as a single session or a package of sessions with interview preparation. Tally ties each booking and package to the visit behind it, so you can see which posts and searches bring clients.

01How they sell

  • One-offA single strategy or interview-prep session, and packages of several sessions with document reviews.
  • SubscriptionA monthly coaching plan for a longer search, cancelled once the client lands a role.

02Payments it reads

  • StripeSessions through Payment Links or a booking tool connected to the coach's Stripe account, and packages through Checkout.
  • Lemon SqueezySelf-paced job-search guides and interview workbooks sold as Lemon Squeezy downloads.

What Tally can't read

  • Sessions paid for by an employer through an outplacement contract outside your provider aren't read.
  • Bookings taken on a coaching marketplace that collects the payment aren't read.
  • Whether a client gets the job isn't counted; Tally sees visits and payments only.

03Where buyers come from

  • LinkedInPosts about job searching reach people while they look, often sending them to the coach's site from the LinkedIn app.
  • SearchSearches about interviews, salary talks or changing careers bring readers to articles that lead to a session.
  • YouTubeInterview-tip videos send viewers who have watched several before booking.
  • NewsletterA weekly email to job seekers brings back readers when they're ready to pay for help.

04What Tally answers

  1. What did a client read before booking a package?

    Open the client in the visitor list and their journey shows every visit with source, pages and engaged time before the booking.

    Visitors and journeys
  2. Do bookings come in waves?

    Peak hours shows sales by weekday and hour over the period you pick, so a quiet month and a busy one can be compared side by side.

  3. How many free consultations turn into packages?

    Count the free consultation booking as a goal and the goals view gives completions, conversion and those visitors' revenue, by source.

  4. Why is LinkedIn so small in my sources?

    Links opened inside the LinkedIn app can arrive without a referrer and land in Direct. Readable Direct splits Direct into typed, shared, checkout returns and in-app browsers, and a UTM-tagged link in your profile and posts gives those visits back their source.

05Numbers worth watching

Goal conversion
Free consultations booked over visitors, by source and article.
Revenue by source
Money per source, so LinkedIn, search and YouTube are ranked by what clients paid.
Refunds and chargebacks
Refunds by source, for packages cancelled when a client landed a job sooner than expected.

Fig. 1The visitor list on the example site, with one buyer's journey open. For a career coach, look at how many articles a client read before booking.

07Setting up

  1. WordPressAdd the tag through your theme's header so articles, the services page and the booking page carry it.
  2. StripePayment Links for sessions tag themselves in cookie mode; packages created with Checkout need the visitor's id in metadata.
  3. Use a UTM-tagged link in your LinkedIn profile and posts, so visits from the app keep their source.

08Questions

  • Can Tally tell me which clients got hired?

    No. It counts visits and payments. Outcomes stay between you and your clients.

  • My booking tool takes the payment. Is it read?

    If it charges through your own Stripe account, yes, as a Stripe payment linked by email at best. If it charges into its own account, no.

  • Can I see which article brought the most clients?

    The page breakdown puts revenue beside each page, so articles that bring paying clients can be told from ones that bring only readers.
