What is Google Analytics 4? 
Google Analytics 4 is an analytics service that enables you to measure traffic and engagement across your websites and apps. GA4 is a new kind of property with different reports than what you're used to seeing in Universal Analytics properties. If your website currently uses a Universal Analytics property and you want to use a Google Analytics 4 property, you will need to make the switch.
 

Frequently Asked Questions:

When will Universal Analytics be turned off?

As of now, July 1st, 2023. We don't know if it will be extended but you should not plan on it. 

Will I be able to move all my Universal Analytics Data to GA4?

Nope. That's a bummer... we know! We're also surprised that there is no way to keep that for comparison purposes. You will need to migrate your data out to a tool like Databox or Big Query. 

How long will I be able to store my data?

For Google Analytics 4 properties (non-Analytics 360 version), retention of user-level data, including conversions, can be set to a maximum of 14 months. For all other event data, you can choose the length of retention: 2 months.

How is GA4 different from Universal Analytics?

 GA4 is event-based instead of session-based like Universal Analytics. 

The concept of views has been eliminated. Instead, Google has provided the option to create custom reports that can be accessed through the left-hand navigation in the interface. 

Some metrics, like Bounce Rate, need to be manually added and they now measure differently.  The bounce rate is the inverse of the engagement rate. A bounce is triggered when on of these conditions is not met:

  • The session is less than 10 seconds

  • The user clicked on a button or link

  • The user filled out a form
