Thanks for this great video Leon. You actually answered some questions I couldn't find such as should we have it installed on our website's server. Subscribed! Question, at what point does it make sense to consider the cloud version vs the paying for larger server capacities?
@LeonKorteweg2 күн бұрын
Thanks! To be honest, my experience with Matomo is still very limited to what I'm doing on my own sites right now. But in general my decision would be informed based on a couple of factors: - Are you tracking high or low traffic sites? Does the site has a potential for peak load? Is a load balancer required to prepare for that load? Do I have the knowledge and skill to set that all up, including monitoring and backups. - How mission critical is it? On managed hosting servers you often have daily backups in case things go south. But what happens if you don't track for one or two days. Does that get you in trouble? - Do you need the addons? The self-hosted version is incredibly limited when it comes to reporting. If I were to use it for a client I would probably get the Custom Report addon as a bare minimum, or try to process my own reports based on the raw data.

Nice tutorial thank you - how does this play in with the cookiebanners and the traffic sources - we had quite some issues with clients after implementing the consent mode v2 etc. that a lot of traffic was put on for example source (not set) by GA4 - is this server side setup different or the same when it comes to measuring where the traffic comes from?
@LeonKorteweg9 күн бұрын
Thanks 👊🏻 I'm currently working on a next video on this very topic. Showing how to integrate a cookiebanner / consent mode in a server-side GTM setup. I've seen myself that GA4 has trouble assigning traffic sources and campaigns with several of my clients. It's not always clear what is causing this. Consent Mode gets a lot of blame, but I haven't seen someone actually researching this and I've not been able to pinpoint one specific cause myself. One thing I've found that when using Cloud Run for your server-side container, that adding geolocation headers is really important: www.simoahava.com/analytics/cloud-run-server-side-tagging-google-tag-manager/#add-geolocation-headers-to-the-traffic Hope this helps 👍🏻

Does this manages third party script also, or only manages script that are loaded in GTM?
@LeonKorteweg16 күн бұрын
No this way only handles scripts inside GTM. There is an autoblocking feature in Cookiebot, but you have to use a hardcoded tag for that.

@@LeonKorteweg Thanks! I have a follow up questions. While this method manages cookies in GTM. How do i manage consent for the cookies which are set because I am using a third party service in my website. Is there just one way to manage all cookies, or do i need to manage (GTM cookies and third party cookies) separately.

Loves your contents whenever drops. Thanks for the explanation. Could you please also share a rough idea about how much GCP cost per month on average? For example if monthly traffic is 20,000 then how much will it costs? Thanks.

This works like a charm. When I preview it, everything works like it shoud. But how do I now connect google analytics or ad words with my tagmanager. I added a new tag 'google analytics GA4 event', added my measurement id, choose Cookie Consent as the event name and All Pages as a trigger. But i get the error: 'No google tag found in this container', and no data is send to google analytics. \ {^_^} /

ctive Users = 1-Day Active User Metric in Looker Studio. If I sumup all 1-Day Active Users in one month and divided by 30 I get Avg DAU, right? As I checked, LS deduplicate active users, so I guess I am right.

My question is why does GA4 have the absolute worst user experience? Why is it so hard to just get the basic data I need as a marketing professional? Why do they make this so unnecessarily complicated? It’s super annoying to use and I don’t feel like becoming a data scientist - i simply just want to report to my clients and move on with my life.

Can I ask you two questions? 1 - The Google tag with the initialization - all pages don't need any CMP blocking trigger, right? 2 - even if I see through Google Tag Manager a the event page_view firing before user give consent, but in or with DevTools I don't see any network call and a gcs=100, I can for 100% sure Ihave implemented the BASIC GCM?

Leon, thanks for your series, I am working on this for my biz and it is really useful. Quick question though, can explorations made by me be included in a report? I mean, there are some metrics ether on charts or tables form the default ones that want to track daily and for that I am making a report with all the info. Yet, some of the things I want to track are not on the default ones and I have made them on the exploration (for example site search term count). I want to track that in the same principal report, is that possible? if so, any video/resource on how to do it? I can't find anything
