This is hands down the best step by step guide for setting up the GA4 account! Thank you! Going to use this for staff training video. Appreciate all the value you provide on your channel!
Also coming from Google's official GA4 tutorial. This is so much clearer, more understandable, and complete than the Google one. Thanks for the great tutorial!
Hi Benjamin. I recently discovered your channel, and I just wanted to say thank you so much for your tutorials. I've watched a few of them and your step by step guides, pacing and visualizations are easy to follow and really helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Thanks for the video. Here are some other issues I'm struggling with - just to give an idea for the next video(s) 1. Facebook campaigns - how do you track them in GA4? All I see is "social" but I have let's say 3 campaigns on Meta. There is this option to create a custom url - how to see that url in GA4? 2. Page optimisation tips - directly related to GA4. Here I'm struggling with 2 things. First, is the simple "add Event Tracking Code to Phone Number Link?" I still don't understand is it google tag and then something in analytics or how do I track how many people clicked on the "phone button" on the website? Second, how to track individual pages - I have, let's say 10 landing pages on the website - I need data for all 10. So, here you go, these are examples of pain points connected to GA4 after it's been set up. Cheers!
Great video - thanks for sharing. I was not aware of this switch and accessed my web-site after 2 years. I see a GA-4 property, perhaps automatically set-up, but do not see any data flowing. Do you have a ny video that shows how to fix on a going forward basis for those who did not do it in time in July 2023? Thanks,
I watched this whole tutorial - appreciate it! I already found some Events that had moved over from Universal (these were previously Goals where I tracked opt-in conversion rates and sales/thank you page views), but I made sure they were working OK by going to Admin - Events (+ made sure they were marked as Key Events). You shared the process to create Funnel Visualization Reports through EXPLORE - where I can set up the same parameters. How are these two methods different if I want to track the same things? And most important (I've done a lot of searching on this), how can I track the CONVERSION RATE for these that I've set up. Is there a new term for that? So frustrating :( Thanks again for this resource.
i found this one "On March 21, 2024 Google made a major change to the nomenclature of conversions in GA4, introducing a new name for conversions that aren't specifically tied to Google Ads. The new name is “Key Events”. Conversions are still around, but now they're only attached to Google Ads traffic sources. " so maybe when you add the metrics put Key events because conversions don't show up to me as well !
Hi Benjamin. Thank you for this video. Need one clarity on this point "Do I need to learn universal analytics before to learn GA4 better?" - Appreciate your response.
You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I have one question: If my website exists since one year but I'm only using Analytics now, can I still see the analytics from the past year? I'm an analytics beginner, sorry if this a stupid question :)
I love your videos and they have helped me so much as I work on client accounts! I do have a question - I have a client that recently launched a new website with a new domain. They carried over their GTM with their Google Tag in it, so we are still tracking traffic just fine, but the Data Stream setup didn't change. The Stream URL is still the old domain. Should that be updated? What would it solve or what problems could it create if that was updated? Thank you!
Hey Benjamin, I am running a RUclips Campaign in Dv360 and my client is looking to improve the user metric in session/ user reprt. Now, im unaware of what the user in ga4 would be equivalent to in dv360 to help them improve. Could you guide me
Correct. You can use gtag or GTM to add it to your site. Don't do both or it will double everything. GTM is better because you can manage the tags directly in GTM rather than needing to place tags on your site every time. Hope this makes since and I hope it helps. 🙂
At 6.23 mins you have shown "Choose your business objectives" and you have selected "Get baseline reports" . I cannot find this screen in my GA4 account
I have a question. If I have a personal website where I don’t plan on receiving money, can I still use Google analytics? I don’t have a licensed business and I just want to use Google Analytics for a personal project. Would I be able to use Google Analytics despite not having a business?
@@LovesDataThank you for your response. I heard from a friend that Google Ads updated to needing registered companies. I got scared that Google Analytics would do the same.
@@LovesData I found the issue. I had a plug in for cookies, and they installed the gtm tag .. so because the gtm tag was installed twice, it didn't work properly

Google must have updated again... smh... I'm missing so many of the things you're showing in this video. My analytics page is missing A LOT of those options. There is no "Life Cycle" section what so ever for example.
It hasn't been updated (yet). I mention this at the start of the video. The selection you make when you create the property controls which preconfigured reports are available. To adjust this you can use the 'Library' option which is on the bottom left corner after you select 'Reports'. And I touch on the 'Library' option in this video: ruclips.net/video/sLT_URKPwMw/видео.html

Amazing video, thank you Benjamin!
The best video for understanding GA4 as a total GA4-noob like me. 😅
Thank you so much for this work!
Very nice tutorial. Amazing how complex this has become over the years. It is like flying the space shuttle. Overkill for most of us commoners...
Great job. Google analytics demo has been updated. Wish you can Amed this video with updates. Thanks
This was an excellent video guide for setting up Google Analytics!

you are rocking bro.. your delivery and knowledge is commendable. appreciate your efforts
@21:38 Can I add more than 2 dimensions to the report?
дякую за інформацію вона дуже цікава та зрозуміла
The video is great, informative!
Thanks for posting. The other videos I found on this didn't cover the latest version of Google Analytics.
Perfect Training
very well explained for newbies #lovesdata thanks
It's very informative video. Thank you for it
a lot of useful information! thank you!
Damn loved this video so much, learned so much within an hour compared to that soul sucking skilshop course
Coursera is worst,it got me confused for almost two months..the mr Micheal is a bad lecturer
Extremely Useful! Thanks for this video!
Hi Benjamin. Thank you for this video. Need one clarity on this point "Do I need to learn universal analytics before to learn GA4 better?" - Appreciate your response.
No, you do not need to worry about Universal Analytics as GA4 is pretty much just the updated replacement
I liked the video. It's very informative. Thank you.😇
Thank you so much for sharing this. I just subscribed
You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I have one question: If my website exists since one year but I'm only using Analytics now, can I still see the analytics from the past year? I'm an analytics beginner, sorry if this a stupid question :)
Glad you like it! Google Analytics only collects data once you install the tracking code. So it won’t include any historical data before this.
@@LovesDatathank you so much for your answer!
Hi, Thanks for the Video, can you please explain whats the difference between User & Traffic Acqusition report?

Thank you so much man!
I dont have conversions when I try to search in metrics, its because of new version?
I love your videos and they have helped me so much as I work on client accounts! I do have a question - I have a client that recently launched a new website with a new domain.

Hey Benjamin,
I am running a RUclips Campaign in Dv360 and my client is looking to improve the user metric in session/ user reprt.
Now, im unaware of what the user in ga4 would be equivalent to in dv360 to help them improve.
Could you guide me
Hi , Ben, Do you need to install tag from GA4 to the website also? because GTM tag already installed on the website. Two tags are different right?
Correct. You can use gtag or GTM to add it to your site. Don't do both or it will double everything. GTM is better because you can manage the tags directly in GTM rather than needing to place tags on your site every time. Hope this makes since and I hope it helps. 🙂
Informative video, i like it
Excellent tutorial, thank you.
thank you very much for this video and the time you took to create it
Excellent video - However, I don't see the "Conversions" below Data display
Conversions are now ‘Key Events’. I cover this here: ruclips.net/video/j747Xb-ik5A/видео.html
Great tutorial!
very informative, that you.
Thanks. I do i get full version of this audio.
perfect sir ... really amazing
At 6.23 mins you have shown "Choose your business objectives" and you have selected "Get baseline reports" . I cannot find this screen in my GA4 account
THANK YOU !!!!
This is such valuable information. How long did it take you to learn all of this?🙆
What’s the difference between the good ads overview and the google analytics are they connect ?
Thank you so much!
thanks brother
Great Video.
11:23 - who the hell is buying Google hats and T-shirts!! hahaha (great tutorial though Benjamin 👍)
Well done
The link from the email to download page of the glossary does not work.
Thank you for the video!
I thought he was going to talk about fun with flags :P Thank you tho, very useful video!
Do You have a tutorial to get gclid?
Not currently, but I’ll add it to my list of requested topics.
Thanks! How can I see the used keywords to find my website?
You will need to link Google Search Console to see organic keywords.
thank you so so mcuh!
Why are we choosing Google tag instead of Google analytics in Google tag manager tag type?
You will find selecting ‘Google Analytics’ gives you the same Google Tag.
wonderful
Thanks!
I have a question. If I have a personal website where I don’t plan on receiving money, can I still use Google analytics? I don’t have a licensed business and I just want to use Google Analytics for a personal project. Would I be able to use Google Analytics despite not having a business?
I use it on my personal site.
@@LovesDataThank you for your response. I heard from a friend that Google Ads updated to needing registered companies. I got scared that Google Analytics would do the same.
great thanks
That's unfortunately not work for me, nothing appears in debug view..
If nothing appears in the DebugView, a different Measurement ID is implemented on the website or there’s an issue with the implementation.
@@LovesData I found the issue. I had a plug in for cookies, and they installed the gtm tag .. so because the gtm tag was installed twice, it didn't work properly
we will want one playlist there learning basic to advance
is google signal disabled now?
For reporting identities, yes, but it’s still used for advertising features and demographic reporting.
thanks mate@@LovesData
I love these videos - but who says "d-a-r-t-a" ? There is no "R" sound in data.
Ha! This one’s for you: ruclips.net/video/X5C9MvBRzIw/видео.html
