Course Curriculum

Preparing for Your GA4 Implementation

1 Identify the Correct Stakeholders

Analytics implementations are complex projects that usually require the participation of multiple teams and divisions within an organization.

2 Document Your Business Goals

Analytics implementations and the teams that support them are often viewed as cost centers instead of revenue centers Tying your analytics implementation directly to your company’s business goals provides a path to establishing your implementation and your analytics team as a revenue center

3 Review Your Current Implementation

It’s easy to jump into a new implementation without much thought for the state of your current implementation.

4 Design Your New Implementation

At their core, all analytics tools simply measure dimensions and metrics sent in response to events that occur when a user takes actions.

5 Build the Data Layer

A data layer is a vital part of every modern analytics implementation regardless of vendor.

6 Implement, QA and Launch!

Configuring Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager can be complex tasks, but with a solution design in hand and a comprehensive data layer built we’re already more than halfway there.
