The future of Google Analytics with GA4
Universal Analytics (GA3) has stopped collected data as of 1 July 2023 for most and July 2024 for those using GA360. Its successor, Google Analytics 4, offers businesses more control and flexibility in the collection and assessment of their Analytics data than ever before, which promises the ability to dig deeper into the data and take meaningful, results-impacting business actions from the insights.
There is a lot of change and improvement that comes with Google Analytics 4. At the heart of GA4 is a completely different data model from Universal Analytics, which results in different data and means that data from Universal Analytics cannot be ported into GA4. There are also different routes to reporting that take some getting used to.
