Google Analytics 4 setup
for your SME business
Important: Don’t leave yourself lost at sea by losing your website’s performance data
On 1st July 2023, your current Google Analytics profile (called your Universal Analytics Property or UA) will stop collecting data.
That means no more customer journey data.
From how many people visit your website, how long they stay on site, what pages they visit, the number of conversions on site or form fills, and a lot more important and strategically useful information!
You will now need to set up and use Google’s new tool if you want that valuable information about your website and not leave yourself lost at sea! Google Analytics 4 is the latest version of this vital insights tool, and it’s available now.
Why will you want experts to setup your
Google Analytics 4 property?

- Confidence in the accuracy of your website performance data
- Enabling you to make well informed marketing decisions after the switch over
- Peace of mind that it is done properly and working as it should
