You’re very welcome.

Hello there! If you’re most interested in seeing opened emails, that’s not something that GA4 can help you with. You can see open rates and click rates in your email service provider like Mailchimp or Mailerlite. You CAN use GA4 to track the performance of emails on your website (aka, what people do after they open and click your email). For that, you’ll need to use “UTM parameters”. Here’s an article on that if you’re interested: www.rootandbranchgroup.com/utm-parameters-google-analytics/ In terms of not seeing the life cycle reports, you may need to edit the reports that are available in your reporting library. Happy to help with more if I can. Good luck! ✌️

You’re very welcome! Glad it was helpful 🙂

Nice, thanks for posting

Glad you found it helpful. And thanks for the feedback about future video ideas 💡 :)

This is really just due to a Google change. You don’t need to set up anytime else separately. Place your GA4 measurement ID (from your GA4 data stream in your GA4 admin panel) and you’ll be good to go. And you can read about that change if you’re interested right here: www.rootandbranchgroup.com/new-google-tag/ Thanks for watching and I’m glad it was helpful for you. 😎

You can install the GA4 script on your site multiple ways. One way is to use Google Tag Manager (GTM) and push the GA4 tag to your site via GTM. That's what this video shows. Another way is to hardcode the GA4 script in the backend of your website. In that case, you wouldn't use GTM at all. If this is what you have done in the past, it will still work and you don't need to do what is shown in this video. However, my personal preference is to use GTM because it opens up some other options for GA4. Like creating some cool custom events like: button click tracking (th-cam.com/video/JOFtjLpwBLE/w-d-xo.html) internal link click tracking (th-cam.com/video/TbbzLpftlkg/w-d-xo.html) And related. Hope that clears things up. Best wishes!

Very welcome. Thanks for coming by and God bless

Glad it was helpful!

These are links that point to your domain from outside of your domain.

@@rooted-digital Thank you for the reply.

You're very welcome. Best wishes to you.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad it was helpful for you.

Good point. I think two things: (1) It will still work as demonstrated in the video (2) What you recommend is better / safer and you should also list the main domain in the configuration setup Thanks for pointing it out.

Glad to hear it. Thanks for checking it out.

You're very welcome. Thanks for coming by and watching.

It just depends on where you're most comfortable doing your analysis. I like exporting data for that, but you're right that it's not technically necessary.

No you don't. Your sitemap will change automatically when you make changes to your Wix site (like adding pages or related).

Thanks for your patience. If you can give me the timestamp from the video of what you're referring to, I can see if I can help. *Note: Google recently changed some of these Advertising reports. But again, I'll check it out if you give me the time.

Either way will work just fine. If you're interested, you can check this article out with more info on the GTM Page View triggers: www.rootandbranchgroup.com/dom-ready-trigger/

Yea, fair point. My audio engineer (me) stinks. Hopefully some of the more recent videos are a bit better.

It could be related to event parameters and custom dimensions. I'd recommend checking out this article and embedded video: www.rootandbranchgroup.com/ga4-event-parameters/

Yes and no. Yes, my organic traffic continued to slowly climb up after this. No, I don't think it was because of this. As I'm sure you know, there are so many factors going on with SEO and I wouldn't know how to attribute any specific improvement to doing this.

Oh man, you think the sound is not good on this one. You should see how bad the sound quality is on some of my other videos. Hope you found something helpful anyway. Thanks for coming by.

@@rooted-digital but i completed and reacted in this video

Are you saying you type in the wcc parameter to test in GTM preview mode? If so, I’m sorry to say I haven’t had that experience myself and am not sure what could be causing it. Hope it resolves for you.

You know, I’ve never tried this myself and didn’t see anything satisfactory when I just did a little research. I’d hope that that it would resolve within 24 - 48 hrs of you removing the additional domain from your settings. But honestly I’m not sure since I can’t speak from experience. Sorry I can’t help more. Best wishes.

Thanks Tony. I appreciate it 🙌!

Yes, classic Google. Ha! Glad you found it informative.

Hey there. Thanks for the heads up. I just rewatched and you're right that finding the XML sitemap is now in a different spot. You can check here for the updated spot: yoast.com/help/xml-sitemaps-in-the-wordpress-seo-plugin/ In terms of where you go to update robots.txt, that's in the same place as in the video. Tools - File Editor - robots.txt

Glad to hear it! Thanks for coming along for the ride. ;)

You don't *need* to do this step, but it will make things easier in the future if you create more tags (so you don't always need to check back to GA4 to see what your measurement ID is).

Well that is saying something! Thanks for the kind words and best wishes.

You're most welcome. Thanks for coming by the channel and checking it out. Best wishes!

Are you referring to the "Events" standard report when you click into the individual event that has the event parameter / custom dimension? In my experience, it's usually been there the following day (Google says it can take 24 - 48 hrs I believe). But that's provided your property has actually collected that data in that time. This is not retroactive so it will only begin collecting data then.

Are you trying to use the first method or the second? And can you share the specific example of what you're trying to do? If you can clarify your question a bit more I can try to help.

So glad to hear it! GA4 makes enough stuff complicated, so it’s nice to have the subdomain tracking be one of the simple ones

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for taking a minute to share the kind words. All the best.✌️

That’s very kind of you. Thanks for taking the time to share this and I’m glad you’re all set up now. 🙌

You are most welcome! Glad this helped with what you were looking for 🙌🙂

Google just says it gets added to the indexing queue. So they don’t commit to a specific timeline. Some of it depends on how regularly Google is crawling your site already. If it’s pretty frequent, you might expect the request to be answered with the day. If less frequent, perhaps several days or a week.

Glad it was useful for you, Lorin! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share your feedback. Good luck and Godspeed on the data and measurement journey!

Try "Key events" now as it was just renamed so to differentiate from Google Ads' conversions.

Good point. Google updated the name for "Conversions" and they are now called "key events". So use key event and session key event rate instead of conversions / conversion rate and you'll be in business. Kind of silly if you ask me, but Google does that sometimes. Here's their support article if you're interested: support.google.com/analytics/answer/9355848?hl=en

I'm glad it was useful for you. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

Do you want to track all of your numbers as one goal or individual goals? If different goals, I'd have different triggers matched up to your different landing pages (and then to the different tags as well). You can have the triggers fire on all pages or some pages...and then specify the conditions if you do some.

You can track more than 1 phone number. This video has two different approaches for call tracking. The first one shows a "dynamic swap" method, where a phone number is visually replaced with another number dynamically when a visitor comes from Google Ads. Calls to the dynamic number are logged as conversions and the call is forwarded to the actual number. The second approach may be what you're looking for here. You track the actual clicks of the phone number on the page. This is great for businesses with a lot of mobile traffic. That starts around 10:41. You can track ALL phone number link clicks. And you can differentiate between what numbers are called / clicked using the link_url and / or link_text "event parameters". This additional video I've linked below is about email tracking. Even through it's email instead of phone, the same principle applies with the event parameters: th-cam.com/video/XIif73lkVKg/w-d-xo.html IN terms of testing to ensure that the tag is firing properly, you need to hit the "Preview" button in the upper right of GTM after your tag and trigger are set up. That enables GTM preview mode where you can confirm that it's working as it should be. This will work with the GA4 event but won't test Google Ads conversions since it isn't Google Ads traffic. Best wishes!

@@rooted-digital Thank you for responding! I have a client that wants to track calls (not clicks) on 4 different phone numbers displayed on their website. I have a GAds Website call tag created for each in GTM but I am only seeing activity for 1 out of the 4 phone numbers. All tags are setup the exact same except for their unique conversion label and phone number. Trigger is set to "all pages". Do you have any idea why I do not see activity on the other 3 numbers? Thank you!
