1. How Do I Set Up Google Analytics 4 (GA4)?

Setting up GA4 is crucial for tracking and understanding your website traffic. Here's a basic overview:

1. Create a GA4 Property: In your Google Analytics account, create a new GA4 property.
2. Integrate with Your Website: Use Google Tag Manager or insert the GA4 code directly into your website’s HTML.
3. Verify Data Collection: Ensure all pages are being tracked correctly.

For a more detailed setup and initial analysis, consider our Tier 1: Basic GA4 Setup and Initial Analysis package, which includes consultation, property setup, website integration, and basic event tracking.

2. What Metrics Should I Track in Google Analytics?

Key metrics to track include:

• User Behavior: Page views, average session duration, and bounce rate.
• Traffic Sources: Where your visitors are coming from (organic search, social media, direct traffic).
• Conversions: Actions that users take on your site, like form submissions or purchases.

Our Tier 1 package provides an initial data analysis, a summary report, and recommendations to help you understand these metrics.

3. How Do I Track Conversions in Google Analytics?

Conversions are crucial for measuring the success of your marketing efforts. To track conversions:

1. Set Up Goals: Define what actions you want to track (e.g., form submissions, purchases).
2. Configure Conversion Events: In GA4, specific events are set up to track these actions.

For advanced conversion tracking and Google Ads integration, our Tier 2: Advanced GA4 and Google Ads Setup offers comprehensive solutions, including setting up conversion tracking for key actions.

4. What is Cross-Domain Tracking and How Do I Set It Up?

Cross-domain tracking allows you to track user interactions across multiple domains as a single session. This is particularly useful if you have a main site and a separate e-commerce site.

1. Identify Domains: Determine which domains you need to track.
2. Configure Tracking: In GA4, set up cross-domain tracking to follow users across these sites.

Our Tier 2 package includes advanced configurations like cross-domain tracking to ensure you capture the full customer journey.

5. How Do I Integrate Google Analytics with BigQuery?

Integrating GA4 with BigQuery allows for advanced data analysis and handling of large datasets. This integration enables you to run complex queries and gain deeper insights into your data.

1. Link GA4 to BigQuery: Set up the integration in your Google Analytics admin panel.
2. Export Data: Regularly export your GA4 data to BigQuery for analysis (an automated option is available during setup).

Our Tier 3: Comprehensive Digital Marketing Optimization and ROI Visualization package includes full GA4 and Google Ads optimization, including integration with BigQuery for enhanced data analysis.

6. What is the Difference Between GA4 and Universal Analytics?

GA4 is the latest version of Google Analytics and offers several improvements over Universal Analytics, including:

• Event-based Tracking: GA4 focuses on events rather than sessions.
• Enhanced Reporting: Improved insights and reporting capabilities.
• Cross-platform Tracking: Better tracking across websites and apps.

If you’re still using Universal Analytics and need help transitioning to GA4, our Tier 1 package can assist with the setup and initial analysis.

7. How Do I Optimize My Google Ads Campaigns?

Optimizing Google Ads involves several steps:

1. Keyword Research: Identify the best keywords for your ads.
2. Ad Copy: Create compelling ad copy that drives clicks.
3. Bid Management: Adjust bids to maximize ROI.

Our Tier 2 package includes initial Google Ads campaign setup and performance analysis, while Tier 3 offers advanced campaign management and ongoing optimization.
