How we work
GA4 and GTM audit
We'll provide a comprehensive mapping of your current Google Analytics account, detailing every aspect within it. While some features may not directly translate to GA4 at present, our mapping ensures future transitions are smooth as Google introduces new functionalities.
Additionally, our team will conduct a thorough audit of your GA4 properties and GTM containers. This audit will identify available data, potential additions to enhance reporting, and pinpoint any necessary updates to tags, triggers, and variables within GTM.
GA4 configuration
We'll kickstart your GA4 journey by seamlessly setting up everything you need. This includes adding the GA4 code to your website, establishing a new Google Analytics property, and initiating data collection. Here's a detailed breakdown of some tasks involved:
-
Structuring your account & properties
-
Creating data streams (web and app)
-
Integrating GA with Google Ads and Google Search Console
-
Migrating custom events, goals, conversions, and transferring audiences
-
Migrating ecommerce data collection
-
Handling custom dimensions/metrics, referral exclusions, and more
GA4 tracking strategy
We will map out the ideal configuration for GA4, covering various aspects such as event, key events and conversion tracking, custom dimensions for event parameters, ecommerce tracking, user properties like User ID, content groups, and custom audiences.
Additionally, we'll conduct a thorough data cleanup where needed, ensuring a smooth transition by reviewing, debugging, and rectifying any unnecessary or improperly implemented elements.
GTM mapping and migration
Our commitment doesn't end with setup. We'll configure and deploy your GTM container(s), meticulously testing and debugging all new tracking.
This will ensure that all tags, triggers, and variables seamlessly transition to the new environment, maintaining tracking integrity and functionality.
Looker studio configuration
We can also address the challenge of navigating GA4's reporting interface by offering solutions such as creating dashboards in Google Looker Studio and building Explorations in GA4.
We welcome your advanced reporting needs. Whether you require custom metrics, in-depth analysis, or specific visualizations, our team is here to tailor the dashboard to your requirements.
Other integrations with GA4
Google Ads optimization
Once your conversions are accurately tracked in GA4, we seamlessly import them into Google Ads. This integration enhances your campaign performance by optimizing bidding strategies and facilitating more targeted retargeting campaigns through the incorporation of GA4 custom audiences.
Meta Pixel and conversions API
Gain deeper insights into the effectiveness of your social advertising investments. Our integration goes beyond surface-level traffic metrics, providing detailed conversion and revenue data attributable to your social campaigns.
Advanced attribution
If Google Analytics (GA) attribution models don't meet your needs, we can seamlessly integrate GA4 data with your CRM and brand data into a comprehensive Marketing Mix Model, ensuring precise decision-making and improved marketing outcomes.
BigQuery and data warehouses
Elevate your analysis capabilities by sending your GA4 data to BigQuery, PowerBI, or other data warehouses. This integration allows you to store data indefinitely and merge it with other data sources, unlocking new dimensions for analysis.
Adsmurai is helping us to meet our objectives by introducing new strategies in campaigns, always with dynamism, contributing new ideas and getting involved to the maximum so that together we can achieve the expected results. In addition, the teamwork is fantastic and the treatment received is great. The client-agency work is wonderful.

How long does the set up take?
The implementation is usually completed two weeks after obtaining everything detailed in the requirements (mainly accesses).
This period can be extended if there are blockages for which we need the advertiser's collaboration (for example, lack of data in the Google Tag Manager dataLayer in case new events need to be added). -

How are the training courses you offer structured?
Our trainings typically consist of a total of three live sessions, which are conducted online. Each of these sessions has a minimum duration of one hour, as we consider that this time is necessary to provide a complete overview and a solid knowledge of the tool. In addition, at the end of each session, we provide support materials that will be sent to you so that you do not miss any important details.
However, we are willing to adapt to your specific needs. We can customize the sessions and adjust their distribution or schedule to meet your particular requirements. Our goal is to ensure that you get the maximum value and learning from our trainings, according to your circumstances.

Is it possible to schedule sessions on a recurring basis?
Yes, we offer the option of recurring training sessions to ensure that you are always up to date in the use of GA4.
In addition to our standard trainings, we also offer a continuous training model.
In this model, we meet with you on a monthly basis to share the main new features of the platform, as GA4 is a constantly evolving tool.
We explain how these specific developments affect your particular case, making sure you are aware of the changes and how to leverage them to your advantage.
Our goal is to keep you always informed and prepared to take full advantage of the latest GA4 updates.
