Amplify your tracking and statistics
The new feature in Google Analytics 4 are called ‘Enhanced Measurement’. The fundamental GA4 tag allows for automated tracking of file downloads, outbound clicks, video interactions, site searches, and scroll events. Unlike with Universal Analytics, you won’t need to set up custom tracking in order to make use of GA4’s Enhanced Metrics feature. Your progress in these areas is recorded automatically. GA4 replaces old Engaged Sessions and Engagement Time metrics with more accurate ones. A user is considered “engaged” if they spend over 10 seconds on the site, view two or more pages/screens, or convert. With GA4, you can utilise Google’s user identity data to more accurately identify users across devices. If a user isn’t logged in, it’s hard to track them across devices.
Modify Reports with great versatility
Making custom reports in GA4 is highly recommended when working with data. With time and work, you can streamline your analytics dashboard to make it easier to obtain the information you need to run your communications firm more efficiently and make smarter decisions on the go. It lets you customise reports and research any data. The previous restrictions on Universal Analytics are no longer an issue. In order to better understand your consumers, you can generate reports with individualised table data, funnel diagrams, and stacked segments.
Strong safeguard of user identity
To provide a secure digital space, it is essential that every technological advancement be designed with user security in mind. In contrast to earlier versions, which relied more heavily on cookies to function, GA4 is a cutting-edge and effective technology that addresses user privacy concerns. This might lead to data conflicts, but GA4 will utilise machine learning insights to find and solve these problems and avoid similar ones in the future. GA4 presents a wide variety of instruments for managing privacy, including the ability to do so on a country-by-country basis. With the global regulatory context constantly shifting, as this adaptability is vital. Data privacy is a constantly evolving concept. In this context, enterprises can rest assured that they are adopting Google Analytics in a more privacy-safe way than ever before thanks to GA4’s various new privacy controls and the ability to granularly configure them.
Substitute Session-Based Info with Events
‘Event’ is treated as a first-class citizen in GA4. GA4 replaces the traditional concepts of sessions and pages with those of events and parameters. Even though GA3 featured event monitoring, it was quite difficult to put that information to good use. The session-based Google Universal Analytics (UA) platform on our website predates mobile data. The UA measurement was developed for single desktop sessions and employed cookies to track users. Now, with GA4, it’s quicker and more adaptable than ever. GA4’s event-based approach allows you to develop a wide range of customised reports focused on users rather than sessions or hits, providing better insights into your visitors’ behaviour.
You can link Google Analytics 4 properties to individual Google Ads accounts and to Google Ads manager accounts. You can create up to 400 links per property. If your current Google Ads setup exceeds this limit, consider creating a Google Ads manager account and linking that to your Analytics property.
Before upgrading, take time to get used to the changes, as with any major upgrade. GA4 is a futuristic technology that considers user challenges at every stage. Its futuristic view and adaptability in measuring and analysing user activity will provide insights no other property has provided. GA4 implementation might be given higher priority than Universal analytics. There is no need to worry about the security of your data on other Google properties, as it will remain unaffected in Universal Analytics. Having UA and GA4 is not mutually exclusive.
