FAQ 2: What are the differences between Universal GA and GA4?
GA4 is not just an update; it’s a major overhaul of Universal Analytics (UA). Let’s explore some key differences:
- Focus on events rather than pageviews: GA4 shifts the focus from traditional pageviews to tracking specific user interactions and events, enabling you to understand user engagement better.
- Cross-device and cross-platform tracking: Unlike UA, GA4 offers improved search across multiple devices and platforms, giving you a holistic view of your customers’ interactions.
- Improved data visualization and analysis: GA4 introduces enhanced data visualization tools and analysis capabilities, making it easier to extract valuable insights from your data.
- More advanced machine learning capabilities: GA4 leverages machine learning algorithms to provide you with more innovative and actionable data, helping you optimize your business strategies. Check out this image comparing GA4 and Universal GA.

FAQ 4: Will all of my historical data transfer over to GA4?

This approach allows you to analyze trends and compare data between GA4 and UA, giving you a comprehensive view of your analytics.
