Definition
Google's web analytics platform for tracking website traffic, user behavior, conversions, and marketing performance.
In Depth
GA4 (the current version) uses an event-based data model, machine learning insights, and cross-platform tracking. It measures page views, sessions, engagement, conversions, and user demographics. Integration with Google Ads and Search Console provides a complete marketing analytics picture.
Example Usage
Setting up GA4 events to track glossary term page views, time on page, and clicks to the contact page to measure content effectiveness.
Business Context
Analytics data drives every marketing decision. Without it, you can't measure ROI, identify what's working, or allocate budget effectively.
