Google has a new update, yet again. Are you surprised? It feels like they have been updating every one of their platforms over the last few months. This time around, they are giving Google Analytics a makeover. On the blog this week, we are introducing you to Google Analytics 4.

So, what is the big difference between the 3rd and 4th versions of Google Analytics? That is a great question. There are 4 major updates that you will see in the newer version:

  1. An enhanced measurement model.
  2. Improved reporting and tracking abilities.
  3. New user ID method.
  4. Predictive audience metrics.

These changes are fixing a lot of issues that existed in the 3rd version as well as introducing powerful new tools to use. From the looks of it, Google Analytics 4 is on track to be the most powerful tool for providing relevant data about the customer’s interaction with your site.

The Google Analytics 3 platform is being slowly phased out and will be completely gone by July of 2023. As of right now, only new users are being pushed onto the new platform, while others can choose to make the switch. This may sound like a lot of time, but do not let it fool you into complacency. Now is the time to learn how to use the new version!

Make sure you get all the details you need to succeed on this new Analytics platform by heading to the blog. We have gone in-depth discussing all 4 of these major updates so that you can leverage them for your business.
