Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is the latest version of Google's web analytics platform. It is designed to provide businesses and website owners with a comprehensive view of user interactions and behavior across multiple channels and devices. GA4 offers advanced features and insights that help businesses understand their audience, measure the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns, and make data-driven decisions.

Requirements

To utilize this integration, ensure you have a Google account and have signed up for a Google Analytics account. Here's how to get started with Google Analytics:

  1. Sign in to your Analytics account or create a new one.

  2. After completing the above steps, copy the G-ID
    (a string in the format starting with "G-") and paste it into the settings section here in Vev.

Refer to these instructions on where to find your G-ID.

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a tag management system (TMS) that allows you to quickly and easily update measurement codes and related code fragments collectively known as tags on your website or mobile app.

When Tag Manager is installed, your website or app will be able to communicate with the Tag Manager servers. You can then use Tag Manager's web-based user interface to set up tags, establish triggers that cause your tag to fire when certain events occur, and create variables that can be used to simplify and automate your tag configurations.

A collection of tags, triggers, variables, and related configurations installed on a given website or mobile app is called a container.

A Tag Manager container can replace all other manually-coded tags on a site or app, including tags from Google Ads, Google Analytics, Floodlight, and 3rd party tags.

Requirements

Using this integration requires an account in Google Tag Manager.

  • Go to GTM and create a new account.

  • Copy the GTM container ID (in the format GTM-XXXXXX).

  • Paste the container ID in the integration settings here in Vev.

To unlock the full potential of your Google Tag Manager Integration, simply toggle on the Show advanced controls option. Once enabled, you gain access to advanced settings, including the ability to add your own Data layer variables.

You can incorporate custom variables , e.g. pageCategory to capture specific information about your web pages. Additionally, you can define values, such as signup, to provide context and meaning to these variables.
