They talk with Fletcher Marketing PR’s Director of Media Relations, Allison Lester, about the upcoming transition from Google Analytics to the new GA4. Google Analytics has been utilized by professionals for the better part of a decade and is now being transitioned due to the fast-paced growth of our world.
They talk about the difference between Google Analytics and GA4 regarding:
- Measurement of events rather than sessions
- Engagement rates
- Adjustments in the attribution model
- Tracking of cohorts
- The process of setting up goals
- Integrated Marketing
- And why you shouldn't wait until Q2 to get started on transitioning your business
Sessions will be held this April to provide information on GA4 to PR professionals. Visit www.painepublishing.com or email Katie at measurementqueen@gmail.com.
Listen to this episode of MsInterPReted to find out more about the transition from Google Analytics to the new GA4.
