Upgrade To GA4 - 4 Ways You Can Upgrade Google Analytics

[@WeekendMuse]

Another timely and wonderfully helpful video from Benjamin. Concise, to the point, free of annoying background music that exudes confidence and competency. Just applied the steps to create a new GA4 property from scratch, integrated via GTM. Flawless. Well done!

[@LovesData]

Awesome! Glad I could help!

Benjamin, you absolutely Rock! I have been watching a number of the GA4 relevant videos and have found value in every one of them. Aside from the technical steps, I thoroughly appreciate how you correlate the "why" to the task, so we can understand how the task at hand tick-tacks back to attaining the actionable data. I recommend subscribing to this channel!!

We switched over to GA4 months ago but the info about the automatic GA4 property creation was nice to know - would've ended up with extra GA4 properties in a couple months' time 😂😂 Now, if I could just tell Google that I already made a GA4 property and that it can stop fussing about the two historical UA3 properties that "aren't getting hits" because they're not installed anymore 😒🖐️

Great tutorial as always!

thank you so much Ben! Very helpful 🙏

I had connected my website to Google Universal Analytics via pasting the UA Id in AIOSEO plugin. Now how do i connect & migrate the site with GA4 ? Do i delete the UA id & replace with the new GA4 one?

Hey Ben thanks for the recommendations! FYI, you wrote June 2013 in your details. I think you meant June 2023.

Hey Benjamin, in this video (4:44 Playtime). You mention that you have seen not changing the UA Tag on the site after the GA4 migration. You have seen some issues. If possible, can you provide some details about what type of issues you have seen?

[@richardsondan]

Thanks as ever - all I want to know is how to get rid of the blue bar at the top - even after GA4 is all setup and done! :)

Thanks, Ben for your video, tremendously useful. I've got a question re: 4:09 of your video, I don't see 'turn on enhanced measurement...' on my Google Analytics. Have you encountered someone having the same problem? And if so, any recommendations on how to fix it? Thanks again

[@vaschmir]

Hi Benjamin, I just wanted to ask if there are a free connector of GA4 to Power BI Which we are currently using in reporting the results from google analytics

[@Osteoandyogi]

Thankyou thankyou thankyou

At 6:30 you move to a different tab. I find it very disturbing. I have already multiple accounts, confused by the details and it's hard to find that tag manager. You should have mentioned it earlier, if you'll use multiple tabs... :/ Google Analytics, tags, accounts, data streams. It became overcomplicated.

[@LovesData]

I switch from Google Analytics to Google Tag Manager.

[@user-kb2ql4dn4f]

please I have a question, if I upgrade to GA4, all historical reports will be deleted ?

[@LovesData]

Historical reports won’t be deleted, but data will stop appearing in reports starting 1 July 2023 and Google has said we will be able to access historical reports for at least 6 months after this. See: support.google.com/analytics/answer/11583528

[@user-lf8cc8ls7o]

If we do shopify integration, is this still necessary?

[@LovesData]

If you're already using GA4, then you don't need to upgrade.

[@craccoon8764]

It has changed again recently

[@invisiblehandofadamsmith]

New shirt 😀👋👋👋👋

[@NessaJ777]

Mine keeps telling me to complete the set up but I think I did everything

[@LovesData]

Google is pushing the message to upgrade in UA properties. If you’ve already created a GA4 property and disabled the option to automatically create a GA4 property in UA, you’re good to go.
