Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Setup
Managed GA4 migration services from Aware Digital
As of June 2023, Universal Analytics (UA) has been sunset to make way for Google Analytics 4 (or, GA4). In order for website owners to monitor activity on their platforms, it’s imperative that GA4 is installed as soon as possible to allow for sufficient data to be collected well before the final shut off.
What's new with GA4?
Universal Analytics has been an integral tool for website owners and marketing professionals for over 15 years. GA4 has been created to navigate changes to privacy regulations and the growing desire for data anonymity whilst still providing accurate figures.
The main difference between UA and GA4 is the use if event-based data tracking, rather than cookie-based. This, in theory, should make reporting on goals, events and transactions more accurate if configured correctly.
There is also a large focus on cross-device support, AI driven data reporting and third party integrations, with more features still to be fully rolled out.
Contact our team for assistance with your GA4 properties and data reporting.

Start your GA4 journey
Our team can handle all of your GA4 setup and configuration from start to finish, allowing you to jump in and access accurate reports to help you make better business decisions.
We start by auditing your current setup, checking tags, segments and other settings to make sure these are ported across.
We’ll then create your new GA4 property, data streams and implement tracking across your essential goals and events.
Once we’re checked that all of the tracking is reporting as expected, we can build out Explorations, reporting views and dashboards to allow you to access your reports quickly.
To wrap up, we’ll provide a GA4 guide, staff training and be on call for any further questions should you need it.
