Description
A rare opportunity for marketers to analyze the whole funnel
We must accept Universal Analytics (UA) is going away. The good news is that the platform that replaces it lets you reclaim the UA reports you’re about to lose, by building your own dashboards. You can do this by using Google Tag Manager, Google Looker Studio and the Google Cloud platform, which all come bundled with GA4.
Google has released this suite practically for free*, giving us the opportunity to step up from screengrabs and spreadsheets. If you are a B2B company, this helps you take charge of ad platform and Marketing Automation/CRM system data, to give a big-picture view of how marketing spend relates to revenue that closed months later. You will even learn how to leverage Google’s Data Science tools in-house, leveraging AI for deep analytics and training of ad platform algorithms. Given all these capabilities, why would you just have data on the marketing Google knows about when you can harness the potential of all your marketing data!
You don’t have to dread Google’s evolving tools, you can use them to take control over how you analyze your data, through our GA Fast4wardTM program.
