An image request is an activity signal. Caching and blocked images can hide activity; automated loads can add events.

§ 04 / Blind spots

Where Google Analytics is blind.

four places it can't go
01

Email opens

Did they actually read your cold email or proposal? GA stops at the website door.

Email tracking analytics → 02

PDF reads

Who opened the proposal, CV, or whitepaper you sent? When? From which company?

How to track PDF opens → 03

LinkedIn & shared links

Real click-through, not "viewed by 47 people" vanity metrics from the feed.

Track CV opens → 04

Notion, Substack, README

Drop a pixel anywhere an image fits. Side-projects, docs, badges — all visible.

Markdown & README tracking →
§ 05 / In practice

How teams use seenbase.

example workflows, not testimonials
Sales / SDR
"I sent a proposal and I have no idea if they read it."

See the open within sixty seconds of it happening — and whether they came back to it later. Multiple opens from different IPs at the same company means the committee is reviewing.

Proposal tracking 101 →
Job seeker / Recruiting
"I'm job hunting. LinkedIn says 'viewed by 4 recruiters' — useless."

See which company opened your CV, when, and whether they passed it to a colleague. Repeat opens from the same network are the signal — one open is noise.

How to track CV opens →
Marketing / EU compliance
"Our marketing team needs GA-style analytics, but legal won't allow cookies in the EU."

Hashed IPs, no cookies on the tracked surface. You still need a lawful basis for your recipients — see the Privacy Policy.

GDPR-friendly analytics →
Indie / OSS maintainer
"I want to know if my README badge or Notion page actually gets traffic."

Drop a tracking pixel anywhere an image fits. Free for the first 1,000 opens a month — enough for most side-projects forever.

before the EU asked.
