You might be wondering what was wrong with Universal Analytics.

It all comes down to one word: privacy. In a statement about the platform change, Google used the word “privacy” seven times. The internet giant is under pressure from international legislation, privacy campaigners, anti-tracking browsers, and even a few lawsuits.

Google just can't afford to collect the same amount of data in the same ways. The new analytics is designed to comply with current legislation and prepare analytics for the future.

GA4 is going to feel unfamiliar and possibly even unintuitive, and before we start talking events, conversions, and reports—there are two important things you need to do.

  1. Pinpoint how your website generates funds: leads, conversions, referrals...
  2. Decide which events you need to track. At first, try tracking one macro-event (like a lead or sale) and a couple of micro-events (such as visiting a page or filling out a form).

With this approach, you concentrate your efforts on what's most important. As you get more comfortable with GA4 over time, you can experiment with more events and handle a larger volume of data.
