Overview
Google Analytics 4 is the future of web and app analytics, but its event-based model and new reporting interface require a different approach than traditional Universal Analytics. I specialize in GA4 implementation, configuration, and optimization — helping businesses leverage the full power of Google's latest analytics platform.
I've completed dozens of GA4 migrations and fresh implementations for e-commerce stores, SaaS platforms, content publishers, and lead generation sites. My GA4 expertise covers property setup, data streams, event parameter configuration, conversion tracking, audience building, explorations reports, and integration with Google Ads, Search Console, and BigQuery.
Beyond basic setup, I help businesses unlock GA4's advanced capabilities: predictive metrics like purchase probability and churn probability, cross-platform user journeys, machine learning-powered insights, and custom funnels that reveal exactly where users drop off. I ensure your GA4 implementation is accurate, complete, and aligned with your specific business objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Universal Analytics stopped processing data on July 1, 2023, so it's no longer collecting new data. However, you may still have access to historical UA data for another 6 months. I recommend having GA4 fully set up and collecting data alongside any existing analytics to build historical data in GA4. UA data cannot be imported into GA4 retroactively.
GA4 uses an event-based data model instead of sessions and pageviews. Everything is an event, giving you more flexibility in tracking user interactions. It also offers cross-platform tracking (web + app), AI-powered insights and predictions, privacy-centric design with no reliance on IP addresses, and more powerful analysis tools like explorations and funnels.
Absolutely. Many businesses find GA4's reporting interface confusing after years of using Universal Analytics. I provide comprehensive training sessions, custom report walkthroughs, and simplified dashboards in Looker Studio that make GA4 data accessible and actionable for your team. I also create documentation tailored to your specific reporting needs.
GA4 predictive metrics use machine learning to forecast user behavior — including purchase probability, churn probability, and predicted revenue. You can use these to build audiences like "users likely to purchase in next 7 days" for targeted campaigns, or "users at risk of churning" for retention offers. These are available once you have sufficient data (typically thousands of events per week).
