Inside this material

Google Analytics 4 measures websites differently from older analytics tools, and many businesses install it without ever feeling confident in what it shows. This e-learning material starts from the basic idea behind it: every visit is made up of events, and the events you mark as important become your conversions.

Early levels cover setting up a property, understanding the standard reports, filtering by date, channel and device, and spotting common tracking gaps. Later levels move on to custom events, audiences, explorations and linking the data to your advertising accounts, always with a focus on the questions a business actually needs answered.

As you work through the material, you review your own property step by step and write down the few reports you will check regularly, so analytics becomes part of your planning rather than a screen you avoid.
