Random opinions about #digitalanalytics
😈 It isn't easy to show positive ROI on investments in digital analytics. Why? Because companies invest too much in data collection and need more analysis and activation.
😈 It isn't easy to show positive ROI on investments in digital analytics. Why? Because companies invest too much in data collection and need more analysis and activation.
😈 Marketers mistakenly believe that digital analytics is just another name for #GoogleAnalytics. No, digital analytics means the process of analysing data from digital platforms.
😈 Digital #analytics specialists need to spend more time with qualitative data (voice of customer, #voc). Leaving the metrics to analysts and texts to marketers is a mistake.
Running into the (other) row in your GA4 reports? We've introduced two quick options for more granular data.

For one-off reporting needs, head to Explorations via the link in the Data Quality Icon. Your report will be reproduced for you and you'll be able to slice and dice. This option is ideal when the (other) row appears after applying a filter or comparison to your report. 
360 properties have another option - to create an Expanded Dataset. Each property gets 100 of these, so use the Expanded Dataset option for reports that you'll use often, and require accuracy and granularity.

The crowd-sourced difficulty ratings for my #Chainagram #WordPuzzle are created with data collected using the wonderful Simple Analytics simpleanalytics.com by @AdriaanvRossum. The best thing? As well as being simple to use it's totally anonymous, unlike #GoogleAnalytics.
Here's how it works: when you solve a puzzle, a number of Simple Analytics Events docs.simpleanalytics.com/events are triggered (again, completely anonymous). This includes how many additional checks you used (the same data is presented on page to the player).
The average number of additional checks used for a particular puzzle is compared to the distribution of additional checks for all the puzzles that have been released to date (the Simple Analytics Stats API docs.simpleanalytics.com/api/stats is used to build this distribution).

Lista de ajustes recomendables al crear tu propiedad de #GA4 y de los que mucha gente se olvida con las prisas #GoogleAnalytics ⬇️

Custom Dimensions are a powerful tool to help you get more out of your #GoogleAnalytics analysis. In Universal Analytics, it was a 2 step process to set these up. In GA4, it’s a slightly different 2 step process. Here are the quick steps to get you on your way👇🧵
1/ First, a quick definition. In GA4, a custom dimension is actually an event parameter. You send parameters with all of the events that you collect, and then those additional pieces of information can be registered in the GA4 UI as Custom Dimensions.
2/ In UA, you first had to create a Custom Dimension in the GA UI, and then add the code to the page or set up the dimension slot in GTM to collect the CD. In GA4, it’s exactly the OPPOSITE. First you send the data, then you register it in the UI.

2/ Poor data quality is every analyst's worst nightmare. Having been in this situation many times over the years, I can tell you that it’s no fun scrambling to do some math and add a bunch of rows when your boss asks you a relatively simple question like “how many people did X”
3/ In the example above, “how many people did X” refers to “how many people clicked the “Start Now” button on my website, for example, to start to sign up for a free trial of a product. The problem is, there are 2 start now events being tracked.
This week’s GA4 thread will explore Realtime reporting in GA4. How it’s different from Realtime in UA, what I like better about it, and how to take full advantage of the info and insights it offers. Read on for all the details, 🧵
1/ In Universal Analytics, Realtime reporting is only based on the last 5 min. It’s nice that it is essentially all from the most recent past, but that insight is gone after 5 min (and then you have to wait till it’s processed into full reporting).
2/ GA4 shows data & the count of users on your site in the last 30 min. This DOES NOT mean that the data is from 30 min ago. It means the total count of users on your site from the last second up to 30 min ago. The data is just as fresh as in UA, it just includes more.

But… you can make it! I’ll show you how to make your own landing page report in GA4 in a few easy steps,
🧵
1/ Start from a similar template, in this case, the “Pages and Screens” report in GA4. Then click the “Customize Report” button in the upper right hand corner.
2/ Next, click in to edit the included dimensions, and click “Add dimension”. Scroll down the list until you find “Landing Page” and select it.
GA4 is the new hot. Or the new not. Depends on who you ask 🤷♀️
Regardless of where you stand though, here are 10 reasons why you should implement GA4 today, 🧵
Regardless of where you stand though, here are 10 reasons why you should implement GA4 today, 🧵
1/ Universal Analytics (current #googleanalytics) is being sunset (aka killed) starting July 1, 2023. That means you have a little over a year to make the switch to GA4. Sure, you could wait until June 30th, 2023 to pull that trigger… but I wouldn’t suggest it (read on for why)
2/ To get Year over Year (Y/Y) data in GA4 by the UA sunset date, you’ll need to set it up by June 30th, 2022. THAT’S LESS THAN 2 MONTHS FROM NOW. Don’t panic, here’s my ultimate guide to setting up GA4
So, you don't know where anything is in GA4?

In the secondary menu for reports, there is a button for "Library."
This is where all of the reports are stored and sorted - these are the reports that make up your navigation (see where we are going 😏)
When you get into the Library, select "Create New Collection"

A "Collection" is essentially a folder that holds your reports... Don't get lost, because we are going to talk about more folders in a second 😅
The next folder you will make is a "Topic" folder. You do this by creating a new topic.
TOPIC NAMES = Navigation button name

1/ Universal Analytics will stop collecting new data on July 1, 2023. That means you have ~15 months to prepare.
That DOESN’T mean you can wait 15 months. In fact, that means you need to get started preparing TODAY.

GA4 is SO different (looking & acting) that it can be really overwhelming to start digging in... So here are 5 tips to help you feel more comfortable and better use GA4, a 🧵. #measure #googleanalytics
1/Make the reporting UI work for you!
GA4 allows you to actually modify the UI, both the reports & the left nav! This means you can build out report collections for specific teams so they have a clear place to go for their reporting needs. Here’s a collection of my fav reports

2/Choose your favorite graphs
In GA4 reporting, you can change the chart type on each report. Out of the box, each table report comes with either a line chart or a bar chart, AND a scatter plot. I’m not a fan of the scatter plot, so I either change or remove it altogether

1. Sitemap analysis: check content velocity and how much content your competitors have per section. You can also look for most common words in their URLs to have a high-level overview of what they post about
2. Broken link checker: pretty basic. Highly suggested when you need a lightweight function and don't want to launch Screaming Frog or other tools.

We see the most common mistake is Shopify merchants placing the UTM parameters in the Website URL section. This field should only include the landing page URL, and parameters should be excluded. DO NOT use UTM parameters in the URL field:
