Hi, thanks for this! I hope it works. I have been having issues with phone call only ads. Inactive conversions. Any advice on something I may be missing?

Hi! I love your videos, and I need your help. I created a property through UA to GA4. Do you have a video that could guide me on how to delete that and set it up correctly? Thanks!

before the GA4 came into force, I used to be able to see visitors on my site in real time but I can't seem to do that now, any ideas please?

Thank you for this. I am stuck however in the "Choose how to setup a google tag". I don't have the option to confirm "Install Manually", I only have "Test Installation" instead of "Confirm", which fails and gives me an error of "our Google tag wasn't detected on "mywebsitename". Double-check your installation and try again. ". My website is hosted by WordPress. How to proceed?

Hi Benjamin, Thanks for the informative video

[Chelsealcc]

Great video! thank you for sharing. But I am faving a problem - I have Admin access but the GA4 setup assistant is saying I need to "request access from your admin to view the connected GA4 property". Do you have any idea about this?

[zeufngo]

I have a doubt. Since i have set my GA4 property my UA property become mess. TBH bounce rate become completely upside down in my UA property comparing the previous months(also the page views)
Does this happen due to i have added UA tags in my GTM container which i'm actually using to track GA4. Please help me what should i do? Should i remove my UA tags from my GTM container or should i completely remove my UA tracking code

[daytripsuk]

I simply can't do it, I have put so much work into my channel, I managed to get to step one and I can't seem to get any further .. I also have followed all the tutorials too .. would I be better starting a new channel altogether .. Thank you.

I didn't uncheck the box and Google automatically created a GA4 property linked to my old UA account. Do I need to delete this new property and start over? We mainly use Google Analytics for pretty basic measurements, but we'd like to start using more complicated event tracking in the future.

[todayisagoodday]

hai, my google anlytics page shown like this... after finishing all setup ... This is your GA4 property. Any additional changes made to your connected Universal Analytics property will not be copied here. To import settings to your GA4 property,
what can i do please, help me

[kmold]

Is there a way we can verify if we selected the option to collect data using existing tag?

[kxbnbef]

Hey, thanks for your great videos. I really appreciate the time you put into them. I integrate GA4 to my website via GTM as you suggested. When loading my homepage GTM is loading for over a second, slowing down the site. Do you have any insight on how to fix this? I do not have any other tags in GTM at the moment. Thanks

[MaheshS-bjlq]

Thanks for an informative and interesting specifically thanks to Benjamin

[mehdifani]

tank you.
I have a question. when we migrated from analytics universal to GA4, should we stop, delete or keep the tags and events we had in gtm for analytics universal?
or we should sends all tags to GA4?
