What Is Going On?

For decades, Google Analytics has been the standard for how developers, marketers and businesses track the users coming to their websites. In March 2022, Google announced that on July 1, 2023, Google will be sunsetting their Universal Analytics platform and moving to Google Analytics 4. Google Analytics 4 launched 2 and a half years ago and now appears will be the new standard for obtaining and analyzing a website’s data.

What Do You Need To Do?

In short, you will want to install the GA4 tag onto your website as soon as possible. After July 1, 2023, Universal Analytics will stop capturing data for your website. Waiting until after this date to make the switch will cause you to lose valuable data and insights into your online strategy.

Google has created a helpful article with instructions on how to setup the new GA4 tags onto your website. This will alleviate any risk of losing key data as well as allow GA4 to have as much historical data as possible.
