Course Overview
After more than 10 years in service, Universal Analytics has finally been replaced by Google Analytics 4 (GA4).
GA4 not only looks different to Universal Analytics, but it also has some fundamental differences under the bonnet. Among other things, it’s better built for a cookieless future by comunicating with visitors' cookie consent choices; it can integrate multiple websites and/or apps into a single customer journey view; it offers more advanced analysis in reports; and out-of-the-box it offers enhanced measurement.
However, despite GA4’s advanced features, it still requires a deeper understanding of its mechanics and data structure in order to maximise the quality of data reporting.
This GA4 course will take you through the process of configuring and using the tool to gain maximum benefit from it. You will learn how to use its out-of-the-box features, as well as ways to customise it for your own specific reporting needs.
Be ready for the future of digital analytics and book your place today!
