What Is Google Analytics 4 (GA4)?

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is the latest version of Google’s web and app analytics platform. It helps businesses track user behavior, measure performance, and gain insights across multiple devices and platforms.

Key Features of GA4:

2. Cross-Platform Tracking – Monitors user interactions across websites and mobile apps in a single property.
3. Enhanced Machine Learning – Uses AI-powered insights and predictive analytics to detect trends.
4. Privacy-Centric Data Collection – Designed to work without third-party cookies, ensuring GDPR & CCPA compliance.
5. Advanced Reporting & Customization – Allows custom event tracking and flexible analysis reports.

Example Use Case:

An e-commerce business using GA4 can track how users interact with their website and mobile app, analyze the customer journey, and optimize marketing campaigns.

Why It Matters?

• Provides deeper insights into customer behavior.
• Works across multiple devices and platforms.
• Future-proofed for a cookieless world.

Pro Tip:

If you’re still using Universal Analytics, upgrade to GA4 ASAP, as UA has been officially deprecated.
