Hey, I’ve been working on making my workflow a bit more efficient with GA4 by creating a set of dimensions for a long list of GA4 properties. Basically, I have a script that I run in the dev tools console that does the grunt work for me. It’s basically like having an extra pair of hands to click and type for me.

The only issue is that after…

Hey folks!

I’ve got a bit of a quandary on my hands. I’ve been working on integrating Google Analytics 4 into one of my React projects – I used script tags in my index.html to sort it. I’ve got Enhanced Measurements all switched on and according to the manual, virtual page views should just get tracked all by themselves.

Here’s a screenshot from… Read more

It’s crucial to understand that setting up a GA4 property and linking it to UA is not exactly a migration – it essentially converts UA’s data structure into the GA4/Firebase format. The existing gtag with the UA-ZZZ will probably continue working, but it will have GA4’s limitations and almost none of the freedom of UA, making it less flexible for… Read more

It seems like the issue you’re encountering could be due to attempting to use the Node.js client library in a frontend Angular application. The client library is designed to be used in a server-side environment with Node.js and might not work properly in a browser environment used by Angular.

A recommended approach is to communicate with your… Read more

Absolutely! Even though you’re encountering trouble, don’t worry, it happens. Firstly, double-check all the steps in the tutorial to ensure all procedures have been implemented precisely. Sometimes, it’s the small overlooked detail that could be causing the issue.

Second, check if your Stape server is set up properly and is running without any… Read more

Absolutely. The Google Analytics 4 gtag function and the Facebook Pixel actually use a neat feature called “beacons”. Now, don’t worry if that sounds fancy. Beacons are just a clever way to make sure messages (like your ‘purchase’ event) are sent, even if a visitor leaves your site. This means that on most browsers, you shouldn’t have to worry… Read more

Hey there! So, you’re right about the UA Analytics Management API, it doesn’t really sync with Google Analytics 4. But, there’s this other one, the Google Analytics Admin API for GA4 that you can check out.

Bad news though, as far as I know, it doesn’t support data import right now. It’s a work-in-progress kinda thing and might include that…

Hey there, I’ve got a bit of a head-scratcher going on with a GA360 account I manage. We’re using Adobe Launch to dual tag UA/GA4, and for some reason, we’re seeing an unusually high % of traffic showing up as new users. I’m talking range of 65-99%, when we’re used to seeing about 45%.

Any savvy folk out there got some troubleshooting tips for…

This sounds pretty baffling! The page_view event should indeed be fired as the page starts to load but events such as click_links and scroll should theoretically occur after. It could be a weird quirk with your setup or the way the scripts are loading. Maybe they are firing immediately because they don’t have anything explicitly holding them back… Read more

This issue may be due to two main reasons. The first might be that your e-commerce platform is not properly integrated with Google Analytics 4. This could result in a lack of geographical and device type data being sent to Google Analytics. This would explain why you’re only seeing ‘not set’ for location and just ‘Desktop’ for device type.
