Sure, in GA4, a similar thing you can do is use the Events report and filter it for the page_view event. You can find this by going to ‘Reports > Engagement > Events’ and then clicking on the ‘page_view’ event.

It’ll show you things like the page title, what percentage of total page views it has and the average time spent on the page.

For the ‘page_url’, you’re supposed to input the actual URL of the page where the event happened. If you just type ‘page_url’, then, unfortunately, that’s exactly what it will log. For ‘button_text’, stick in the text that appears on the specific button that’s been clicked on your site. That way, you can track specifically which button is getting… Read more

To dynamically change the userId with the actual user Id in the dataLayer, you need to use a PHP function to fetch the user ID and then echo it within the JavaScript snippet. Also, keep in mind that the user ID is usually stored as part of user authentication in a session variable or a cookie in PHP.

Hence, assuming you authenticate users with… Read more

This sounds like an issue with Google Analytics adding additional filters when you’re selecting new parameters. Each time you add a new dimension, it can potentially limit the scope of your data, which might explain why your total revenue figure is decreasing. You might need to check each parameter to find out how it’s limiting your data. Hope this helps!

Yes, you absolutely can use GA4 (Google Analytics 4) without Firebase in your React Native project. Firebase SDK is just one way to incorporate GA4, but it isn’t a necessity. Normally developers choose Firebase because it offers much more than just analytics, such as Cloud Messaging, in-app messaging, and other essential tools. However, if your… Read more

The discrepancies you’re experiencing with Funnel Explorations in Google Analytics 4 (GA4) when using user_id could be due to how GA4 filters for unique events. It’s not typical for Funnel Exploration to ignore data linked to user_id. However, according to Google’s development documents, depending on your setup, GA4 may not correctly associate all… Read more

As to your data discrepancy between Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Universal Analytics (UA), it’s important to note that GA4 and UA have fundamental differences in their data models due to which you might see different results. This difference can also affect how the data is sampled and presented.

As for avoiding data sampling, generally, data… Read more

This is likely due to differences in how Google Analytics 4 calculates and segments data based on the presence of certain dimensions. When you add a new dimension like ‘date’ to your data, GA4 disaggregates the data into more detailed segments. Each data point now corresponds to a unique combination of ‘session default channel’ and ‘date’. Thus,… Read more

Have you figured out a way to create and setup conversion events with parameters beyond just the eventName using the Google Analytics Admin API? Based on the documentation we reviewed, it only seems to offer eventName as an input variable, and doesn’t account for other parameters such as the URL value for the event. Could it be that this… Read more

Hey there, got a little tech challenge I could use some help with. So, you know when you load a webpage and it triggers a page-view event? Well, I’d rather not have that happen on one particular page of my website. So, here’s the kicker – I still want to play nice with all the other events happening on that same page. Just so you know, I’m using… Read more

You could consider using a referral exclusion in GA4 for domain B, which should exclude traffic that starts on domain B. Then, you can experiment with UTM parameters to determine if a user is coming from domain A. Use these parameters in your links going from domain A to domain B, then set a conditional load of the GA4 tag on domain B based on the… Read more

Hey, so I’ve just starting messing with Google Analytics 4 on a neat little community website I manage. One of the things we’re trying to do is track each time a QR Code on a physical flyer we’re distributing is scanned. Cool, right?

The QR Code url leads to a page that loads up gtag.js, fires off a pageview event with utm_ codes from the url, and…

Sure, here’s a more streamlined response:
