Imagine, if you will, building a tower, block by block, and then to lose everything overnight. All the time, effort, and money that went to building everything.
And then the need to start from scratch?
YOU WILL LOSE MONEY
That you invested to drive website visitors
- How many visitors did you drive to your website thus far?
- How many visitors did you turn into customers?
- What is your current Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)?
- This should give you an idea about colossal monetary loss that awaits if you do not act.
YOU WILL SPEND MORE
Money on digital ads
- Your digital ads will only be relevant to your Target Audience if you have the past audience data
- Without data, your ads could even be reaching irrelevant audience
- All these means you will spend more money on ads.
- Your current Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) would go up.
- You will battle for ROI.
How you can preserve all your data with Google Analytics 4
The good news is, you can securely migrate and own all your data. And keep them forever.
You can migrate the data from your Google Universal Analytics/ Google Analytics 360.
You can keep them forever on Google’s latest analytics platform, Google Analytics 4 (GA4).
What is Google Analytics 4 ?
Before we touch GA4, let us quickly see Google Analytics history, how it all started:
Google Analytics:
Is the very first version of Google Analytics introduced in November, 2005 after Google acquired Urchin and their web analytics.
Universal Analytics (UA):
Is the updated, enhanced version of Google Analytics released in 2012.
Google Analytics 360:
It was released in 2016, more like a ‘pro’ version of Universal Analytics, the software package also had Data Studio, Tag Manager, Surveys, Optimize, Audience Center, and Attribution.
Google Analytics 4 :
Google calls GA4 the next generation of Google Analytics, designed for the future of measurement. Google Analytics 4, unlike any predecessor, brings powerful capabilities, fundamentally different from the previous versions as GA4 collects unified data from all your customer channels such as websites, mobile apps, store data, and others seamlessly.
What are the additional benefits of GA4?
BigQuery integration
BigQuery is a data warehouse that allows for the processing of SQL queries at very high speeds, thanks to Google’s powerful infrastructure.
Unsampled data
There is no data sampling in GA4 standard reports and you can collect unlimited data. Access to unsampled data is significant as it backs your decisions- they are now based on reliable data.
Powerful segmentation possibilities
Audiences in GA4 allow for more targeted segments for your marketing campaigns. Now you can create segments based on events, which is not possible in UA, and add the concept of time if you want.
Powerful engagement metrics
Instead of just providing you the bounce rate, or the percentage of users that leave a page without any interaction, GA4 provides you positive data on user engagement.
