What are your thoughts on GA-4?  (⬅️ leave a comment)

  • Google is sunsetting universal analytics (UA)
  • If you don't have GA for turned on, you're not going to have any data next year.
  • In Crystal's opinion, GA-4 is more e-commerce friendly than the Universal Analytics.


  •  GA4 focuses on engagement metrics vs. negative analytics.
  • Create audiences based on predictive behaviors, such as purchase and churn probability.
  • Make sure your Google ads account is connected to your GA4 account.


  • Brittany has a Squarespace website and wants to set up GA-4.
  • To do this, she needs to create a GA-4 Property. 
  • Then she can follow the Squarespace tutorial to install the GA-4 code on her  site.
