haha, glad you are finding it valuable!

I think you are referring to GPDR and GA4. From what I understand it's not forbidden, but definitely you need to give option to opt-out from GA4 (part of your cookie policy)

Ha! :) yeah there is some resembles. Happy you liked the video!

It's great to hear that! Using the UTMs, you'll be able to tell which post brought traffic to your site. If you just want to know if they came from specific social media, then you don't need the UTMs. GA4 should know.

@@clicksdontlie I created them but can't find them in Google Analytics. I would think so too but I ran socials for a Spa and I feel like it's not really capturing the traffic coming from Instagram and Facebook.

if you need help just email me to robert (at) clicksdontlie.com with the details, I can try to help.

@@clicksdontlie thanks so kind of you! I will thank you so much!

Thanks for taking the time to write Sjoerd. I actually ran exactly the same test as on barefoot (btw it's not what they do, I added it) on another website and it worked better when there were 2 options. And there was no difference in conversions, but huge increase in signups. The big difference is that the checkbox was not selected by default in my test. In this my example was a bit misleading. That said your hypothesis could be true. But It's worth running a test for your case and making sure it's a checkbox instead of radio button.

​@@clicksdontlie Nice! That should be more reliable. Thanks for your response!

Just tried to create a similar report as you did, but it doesn't work for me either. No idea why this is an issue for GA4 to show, seems logical question to me.

@@clicksdontlie yea, we should be able to track which search result term lead to events and key events etc

@@mzaidaliraja I totally agree, that's why I'm building a new tool on top of GA4 to be able to get easily data like this.

@@clicksdontlie Sure let us know

glad to hear you find these useful!! :)

Happy to help you! Thanks

I'm happy this helped you and hopefully GA4 will start being easier and less overwhelming :)

Happy to help!

@@clicksdontliebut how does someone do the same with a Landing page? I hope you don’t mind, but I tried generating the UTM code for a Landing page but I can’t add the page to Google Analytics, says it isn’t a valid URL

@@enonone_4rm_OAU Did you use the tool to create it? You can also just give an example of the URL here, I can check what's wrong...

glad you liked it!

thanks a lot! Yeah I do have a GA4 tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXnJfIaHlsuUe9k

sorry I don't have the exact study, but anchoring bias & priming has been studied a lot, here is a an in depth article that also references some studies: thedecisionlab.com/biases/anchoring-bias

@@clicksdontlie - Thanks for sharing

you need to check with your company if they allow it. But usually you can't really see anything sensitive data in GA4

Glad it helped!

thanks for sharing, I didn't know the copilot integration. I need to give it a go :)

Awesome, thank you! I also send out email exclusive stuff in my newsletter, you can join it here: clicksdontlie.com/

thanks a lot for letting me know. It wasn't technical issue, I just forgot to add it when I uploaded the video :( But I've added it to this video. So thanks a lot for taking the time to tell me this! :)

thanks Rajesh, that's such great compliment!

Hi Johnny, good idea! There are a few different reasons for it, here are the biggest (I think). Mostly it is that Google Ads have higher numbers than GA4. Here are top reasons for this: 1. People use ad blockers or browsers that block scripts, so they block your GA4 from firing. From my experience, this can be anywhere from 10%-25% of all your visitors. 2. Google Ads are clicked by bots (Google has protections, but they are not always perfect) 3. People click on ads, but don't accept your cookie policy (and GA4 script is not fired) 4. People click on ads, but never make it to your site (slow loading or they just closed the browser quickly.) 5. Your attribution model is set to first click attribution in GA4, more about this here: support.google.com/analytics/answer/10596866?hl=en I hope this helps!

Oh yeah, what can you do about these? 1. You can use server side tracking - this will reduce ad blocker influence 2. Use software services that help you avoid bots 3. Not much you can do about this 4. Also this is hard to address, one thing to do is to make sure your ads are relevant 5. Look at the first click acquisition reports

@@clicksdontlie Thanks! I'm aware that Google Ads and GA4 will always show different numbers as they are working in a different way. I was talking about the difference between Standard session report and Advertising report. In GA4, the revenue data is different for each report. For example, in Traffic Acquisition>Session report the revenue is 100k, but if I go to Advertising report and filter for the same Default channel grouping, the revenue is 90k. It seems like those Advertising reports are using different attribution models. Our default attribution is Data driven.

Glad it helped!

thanks! You can grab my Google sheet and there is a link to a video of how to anonymize the data. You can grab the sheet here: clicksdontlie.com/products-bought-together/

Hi Muhammed, you can use Google Tag Manager (GTM) and create a data layer event on form submission. You can do this with JS directly in GTM or add the datalayer push through PHP. GTM takes a bit longer to set up, but it will be easier later to install other tracking and also any ad platforms like facebook or google. Here is an intro video about GTM: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6SbdIuXo9lkg5Y&pp=ygUSZ29vZ2xlIHRhZyBtYW5hZ2Vy

@@clicksdontlie Thanks for your time. I will try to create data layer event on form submission. Lets see if I can do it

Glad this helped you!

thanks for the offer, but I'm okay to do it myself.

I think it's just a naming difference between different pages. So on the product page (data layer) it's named something like "Google Unisex Eco T-Shirt Black" and on purchase (datalayer) it's named "Google Unisex Eco Tee Black". I've seen this before with my clients as well. You either make sure it's all exactly the same, or you can view the same report by product ID. Usually, those are the same.

@@clicksdontlie Thanks for replying

No problem!

Hi Maria, thanks for the question, because it made me realize that Cohort_Cal was looking at wrong fields. I've updated the sheet with correct formula. This is the formula it should have (on row 2) =IF(B2="";"";IFERROR(COUNTIF($B$2:B;B2);"")) And then drag it down for other fields. That said, I think Cohort_Cal column is not used in other calculations. I hope this helps! :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

So glad!

I agree about the ads, should have included that one. But cohorts… in my opinion they are highly unreliable because of cookies dying. Or have you found them useful?

thanks for the support John! I hope you find the course valuable. Let me know if you have any questions :)

My pleasure!

glad I could help! :)

Thanks! I think it's easy to decide if you use GA4 for a month or two. Just remove the metrics you never even looked at. Usually you are left with just a few crucial.

A little late answer, but yes, you can link your Google search console to GA4. Here is how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWOvl3ppo6xqh80&ab_channel=MariahMagazine
