- Better cross-device tracking: GA4 allows you to track user interactions across multiple devices and channels, providing a more holistic view of your website’s audience.
- Advanced event tracking: With GA4, you can track custom events beyond pageviews and clicks, such as video plays, downloads, form submissions, and more.
- Enhanced privacy controls: GA4 provides more options for respecting user privacy, such as a new consent mode that lets you customize tracking based on users’ consent preferences.
- AI-powered insights: GA4 leverages machine learning to provide automatic insights on trends and anomalies in your website data, helping you uncover actionable opportunities for improvement.
- We’ll also discuss some of the challenges and considerations when migrating to GA4, such as data compatibility, configuration, and training. Our guest speaker will share some tips and best practices for making the transition smooth and successful.
