There could be a few reasons why you’re seeing differences in active users between BigQuery and GA4. First, make sure you’re comparing the same time periods in both. If your BigQuery query is using UTC time zone and GA4 is set to another, this could cause discrepancies.

Additionally, data in BigQuery is recorded on an event basis where multiple… Read more

Vue-gtag should be compatible with both Vue3 and Vue2 applications. However, if you encounter issues using vue-gtag with Vue2, you may consider using vue-gtag version 1, which has been found to be more compatible with Vue2. In any case, it should be noted that gtag (the global site tagging by Google for analytics and advertising) is not… Read more

Sure, but it would be useful to view your current query to give a more precise direction. Generally speaking, in SQL, if you want to implement an UPDATE operation based on a selection, it would look something like this:

`sql
UPDATE your_table
SET page_location = ‘new value’
WHERE event_name = ‘page_view’ AND page_location LIKE ‘%specific… Read more

At the moment, I’m rocking a page with both Google Analytics 3 and Google Analytics 4, which are all setup thanks to GTM. My challenge though is getting each of their client ID separately. Got me wondering if they both clock in with independent IDs when running on the same page. Yet to get a handle on that aspect as I am not certain if this…

Hey there, trailblazing with WordPress / WooCommerce and currently wrestling with the mysteries of Google Analytic 4. Trying to get it to track the number of search results and individual search results, but it’s testing my Google-fu to the max. Can’t find the droids… um, info I’m looking for.

Here’s the scoop: I’ve so far got my tracking…

It sounds like you’re encountering issues related to scope and data sampling in Google Analytics 4. The total revenue might be changing because of the way GA4 calculates metrics based on the dimensions you’ve selected. When you added new dimensions like “new users” or “Date,” GA4 calculates the metrics again for each unique combination of… Read more

Is there a way to see what percentage of my site’s visitors are on mobile versus desktop using the explore report? If I could create a metric that was the ratio of mobile to total visits that would be perfect. Any ideas how to do this?

Yes, it’s possible to set up a dataLayer push to fire an event when a specific div element appears on page using a custom HTML tag in Google Tag Manager. You do this by writing a script that listens for changes in the DOM (the structure of the webpage), and then pushes an event into the dataLayer when it detects that the specific div has been… Read more

You’re absolutely right. Backfilling was something we could do for Universal Analytics (UA) properties if you were a GA360 customer, and unfortunately, the Data API doesn’t spit out event level data. But as of now, trust me, there’s no official way to backfill BigQuery event data for GA4 properties. Hopefully, they might add this feature in the future.

In case of the remove_from_cart event in GA4, the item you put in the array should be the one you just took out of the cart, not the stuff that’s still in there. Think of it like a ‘lost items’ list for your cart, where you’re noting down what’s been removed. This happens to be the official take from Google too. Check their support link, it’s got… Read more

It seems like there might be a potential issue with tracking conversions due to the switch in Google Analytics versions, which can certainly be frustrating. The GCLID or Google Click Identifier helps track where your Ad traffic comes from, and it is necessary for it to be set up throughout all your booking engine pages, not just the starting page… Read more
