Upgrade to the Latest Version of Google Analytics
Whether your organization leverages Google Analytics on a daily basis, or you use Google Analytics as a backup to your Adobe Analytics set up, change is coming to the version of Google Analytics that you’ll be using starting next year.
Staying ahead of the curve when it comes to making the transition to Google Analytics App + Web, starting to collect data, and getting everything set up while utilizing best practices from the onset is important.
We provide Google Analytics App + Web implementation services to assist or fully implement and manage this newest version to ensure there are no gaps in your website or app data collection.
What is Google Analytics App + Web?
Google Analytics App + Web is Google’s latest measurement tool that allows the unification of app and web data.
Currently, app data is often captured with Google Analytics for Firebase, while website data is collected through Google Analytics. While this data can be very useful alone, combining the data collection in one set provides the ability to measure data across these platforms without having to manually try to blend this data together.
The metrics and dimensions utilized in App + Web are consistent between your app and website, allowing you to leverage the unified data more easily.
Why is Upgrading to Google Analytics App + Web Important?
Even if your organization doesn’t currently have an app, this version of Google Analytics will be replacing the current Universal Analytics property that you have set up right now.
This underlines the importance of adopting this new version ASAP to start collecting data on your new property.
While Google has been making updates to the Google Analytics interface over the past few years, the interface and options within the App + Web interface present some very large differences. Getting your analysts and marketing teams trained in this new platform will be important to hit the ground running when the migration is complete.
Benefits of Using Google Analytics App + Web
There are several different benefits of using the new Google Analytics App + Web tracking code. Here are a few:
- Combined data between mobile apps and website
- Better cross-platform journey measurement and visualization
- Flexible event tracking without coding
- Built-in enhanced measurement features
- New analysis and reporting interface
- Easy to implement via Google Tag Manager
Google Analytics App + Web continues to provide all the features of Google Analytics 360 and Google Analytics for Firebase, with these enhancements.
