Events, parameters and custom dimensions

The ebook walks through the event model GA4 actually runs on, which automatic events you get for free, and where custom dimensions earn their place. It is the same ground we cover in our guide to tracking events in GA4.

Once the property is clean, the ebook shows the reports and explorations worth your time. For the step-by-step version, see our GA4 setup checklist, and if you would rather we did it, our GA4 setup service handles the whole migration.
Bonus content

Bonus: the questions we always get

Three things every team asks before they start. The short answers are here; the ebook goes deeper on each.

Can I set GA4 up myself?

Yes, and the ebook is written so you can. The setup is not hard. It is just easy to get subtly wrong in ways you only notice months later, when the numbers stop adding up.

What if my Universal Analytics data is gone?

Google deleted Universal Analytics data in 2024. The ebook covers what to export and keep from here on, so you are never caught without history again.

Where does this leave my ad tracking?

A clean GA4 build is the foundation, not the finish. Once it is solid, server-side conversion tracking makes the numbers your bidding relies on trustworthy across every platform.

Templates are a start. A specialist on your account is the upgrade.
