Important update: Google Analytics 4 will replace Universal Analytics in July 2024

Important update: Google Analytics 4 will replace Universal Analytics in July 2024

Google has announced that starting July 1, 2024, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) will be the only available version of their analytics tool. This means that your Universal Analytics properties will no longer function from that date, resulting in the discontinuation of access through the usual interfaces and APIs. For businesses that have not yet made the transition, it is crucial to begin this process immediately.

The consequences for your business

The phasing out of Universal Analytics has significant implications. Without a transition to GA4, companies lose access to valuable data and insights, which directly impacts their ability to monitor and optimize advertising campaign performance. Additionally, tracking new user conversions becomes more challenging, which can result in less efficient marketing strategies.

Securing your data

It is essential to export existing data from Universal Analytics before the service is discontinued. Failing to do so risks permanent data loss, which could limit your organization's analytical capabilities. Therefore, begin the migration process as soon as possible to secure your historical data.

Detailed migration guides

Google provides detailed migration guides to facilitate the transition to Google Analytics 4. It is important to carefully follow these instructions and begin preparations for the migration. This includes setting up your new GA4 property and exporting your Universal Analytics data. Timely and accurate execution ensures that you can continue to collect and analyze web data without interruption.

The transition to Google Analytics 4 is a significant step for businesses that rely on Google's analytics tools. By making the necessary preparations now, you ensure that you maintain access to crucial data and insights, allowing you to continue optimizing and informing your online strategies.
