All measurements are events.<\/h2><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>
While with Universal Analytics pageviews were the most important metric, with GA4 all measurements are events. Now you can better understand how users interact with your app and website. GA4 has a number of new metrics, such as:<\/div><\/div>
  • \n
    \n
    \n\t<\/i>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>engaged sessions<\/span><\/div><\/li>

    <\/div>

    Access to predictive reports<\/h2><\/div>
    <\/span><\/div>
    Using predictive metrics, you can make decisions based on large amounts of data. For most companies, predictive analytics is of great importance when it comes to retargeting campaigns.<\/p>\n

    Using the above metrics, you can create audiences based on their predicted behavior and improve website performance. You can create custom sales funnels for different audiences based on their needs and behaviors.<\/p>\n

    AI-based metrics are:<\/div><\/div>

    • \n
      \n
      \n\t<\/i>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>probability of purchase<\/span><\/div><\/li>

      More control<\/h2><\/div>
      <\/span><\/div>
      Customizing your dashboard lets you see the reports that matter most to your business. Google Analytics 4 works in conjunction with Google Data Studio which provides users with customization of the visualization of collected data.<\/p>\n

      You can create custom segments based on the behaviors and actions customers take on your site, which represent a subset of the events that occur on your website or app. This provides you with more accurate tracking of the interaction of the users themselves.<\/div><\/div>
