Google is deprecating its legacy platform, Universal Analytics, in July 2023. This means that website masters who measure performance in Universal Analytics will need to consider another platform long-term. The benefits of Google Analytics 4 is that it integrates well with advertising platforms, and has a similar feel to Universal Analytics. What is your Google Analytics 4 set up process? Initially, we work with your team to identify how customers use your website. From there, we build out stages of a customer’s journey through the website and map that into a GA4 Funnel Report. Using that data, we can build the right metrics to measure how your clients use your website. What is the difference between Google Analytics 4 vs. Universal Analytics? Before Google Analytics 4 was rolled out, Universal Analytics was the legacy analytics platform offered by Google. GA4 was created in response to changing data privacy regulations and offers new views into the user journey along with more specific ways to use data sampling in reports.Businesses that have not already set up GA4 should do so immediately. You can read more about the change here. How do you implement Google Analytics 4? While businesses can implement and configure GA4 on their own, the process of either building a profile from scratch or rolling over your Universal Analytics platform can be complex. Setting it up will depend on your website and its backend. To ensure you’re making the most of this new and improved analytics platform, you should consult a dedicated agency that can help you make the switch. Should we retain our Universal Analytics data? Yes. You can upload your Universal Analytics data to BigQuery before Google deprecates the Universal Analytics platform in July, 2023.
