The Difference
GA4 Features
GA4 is a mixed bag. It’s not finished yet, it’s that old sage advice in play, if its perfect when you launched it, you launched too late. Well Google is flexing on that and has been for close to 18months now with its two big announcements to drive people to start using it. But GA4 is coming as the main data kid on the block for Google and UA is leaving the building on 1st July, 2023.
The reports in GA4 are more customisable and there are 5 built in Events that will help Small and Micro businesses with more data, more than they have with UA now, but for the people who use their data to make key decisions like whether to turn their Ads off or not when we had our first global change event in March 2020. Your world will be more in Tag Manager from July 1st 2022 than Smaller business operators who are fine with Page Views as their KPI to make decisions with.
