Member29 June 2023 at 12:05 pm in reply to: Troubleshooting the absence of subdomain data in GA4It seems like you have tried a variety of approaches without success. So, setting up unique accounts for each subdomain could be a step to consider. However, before you go down that route, it may also be worth double-checking the basics. Ensure that the gtag.js tag has been correctly placed on all pages of the subdomains and that tracking has been correctly enabled. Configuring Google Analytics to accurately track traffic across multiple subdomains can be tricky, so it might be also beneficial to get professional assistance from a specialized analytics consultant. They would be able to troubleshoot deeper into the configuration of your client’s Google Analytics settings and help implement a solution that captures all the required subdomain data.

Member28 June 2023 at 9:23 pm in reply to: Effectively retrieving Google Ads metrics from GA4 APICurrently, Google Ads costs data isn’t available directly through the GA4 API. So, a good workaround would be to use Google Ads API to get the cost data based on the Google Ads ID you get from GA4 API. I know it’s an extra step but right now, that’s the way to match up the data.

Member28 June 2023 at 4:29 am in reply to: Enhancing Google Analytics: Modifying Events and Properties with Custom ValuesSetting up Google Analytics for specific event tracking like button clicks often requires careful management of properties (props) and events. In your case, you want to change certain ‘EVARs’ (Conversion Variables) and add new events without affecting others. Unfortunately, without seeing the actual code and the screenshot of the data analytics, it’s difficult to give specific advice.
However, usually, you can prevent changes in one property from affecting others by isolating the tracking scripts or implementing condition checks in your code. You can potentially encapsulate those tracking codes specific to PROP5 within an if-else clause, checking if event related is to button click. Plus, it’s important that your prop6 and prop7 aren’t said to equal prop5 or aren’t copying the input from prop5.
For adding new events like 100 and 101 for failed button clicks, you may want to use the ‘hitCallback’ function to fire an event when a tracked button click does not lead to the expected outcome. If done correctly, Google Analytics should then register this as a unique event.
Remember, applying this solution differs depending on the structure of your code and the specifics of the analytics implementation on your site. These are just suggestions and starting points for solving the issue you’re facing. If you’re still having trouble adjusting the properties and events as desired, it may be useful to consult with a developer who specializes in Google Analytics integration.

Member14 May 2023 at 12:13 pm in reply to: How to track user search keywords with Google Analytics and Search Console?Sure, man! This is actually about setting up Google’s Search Console to find what terms people are searching that lead them to your website. The Search Console is a Google version of a gold mine for website owners that shows what keywords people are using to find your site. This little nugget of info suggests using node.js to get these details.
The provided code is basically setting up a route ‘/getKeywords’ in your server to give back the search data. It tries to contact Google’s search console with your site URL and the date range you want the search data for. If it manages to do that without a hitch, it will map the data into a simple keyword list, and send it back as a reply. If something goes wrong, it will just notify that an error occurred. Pretty neat, eh?

Member22 February 2023 at 4:40 am in reply to: How can I access the page URLs when analyzing user behavior in GA4?It seems like you’re having trouble viewing the default parameters in Google Analytics 4 (GA4). In GA4, page paths aren’t visible directly in the user explorer under page_view events. This is different from how things worked in the previous versions of Google Analytics. Currently, GA4 focuses more on events and user actions rather than page views, which could be why you’re seeing more custom parameters.
You mentioned that you’re considering creating a custom page view event in your front-end code. This is definitely a good idea, and it allows you to capture the data you need. However, it can be a bit complicated, especially if you’re new to GA4.
It’s always advisable to consult with someone more experienced or seek advice from Google’s support or community forums before making such changes. This can ensure that you have the best setup for your specific needs and that you’re utilizing GA4 to its full potential.
