Get Ready for Google Analytics 4
Google has launched a new version of the Analytics tracking platform called GA4. This new version makes significant changes to the way analytics data is collected, stored and displayed. Starting this summer, Google will stop collecting data from the old platform and transition fully to GA4.
What to Expect
- Google will automatically create a GA4 property with basic settings and start tracking analytics data there.
- Any existing reports and the existing Google Analytics dashboard will no longer be available.
For organizations that only occasionally use basic metrics (like page views and sessions) and have no external reporting, the automatic migration may work well. For organizations looking for more advanced metrics, to use external reporting or to maintain organized access to their analytics for multiple users, Google is recommending they manage the GA4 migration process themselves. You can do this through the Google Analytics dashboard, or allow Viewpoint Digital to help with the one-time GA4 Migration service.
Viewpoint Digital is offering three opportunities to help you get ready for GA4.
