Google Analytics 4 officially launches on July 1st, 2023.

If you’re yet to switch to GA4 or even set up Google Analytics for your website, you could be missing out on gaining invaluable data about your business. As a complex tool, there are lots to Google Analytics 4 that you might not realise can benefit your business.

What Are Conversions On Google Analytics 4?

Conversions (previously known as ‘events’) are used to report the most important actions taking place on your website. These are all viewable within your Google Analytics 4 interface. 

You’ll notice that, unlike general page views, conversions give you more insightful information about user behaviour. Namely, the amount of times users complete forms, click certain buttons and even add products to their cart. 

GA4’s conversion tool gives you the ability to track these metrics. You can then use the data to understand if your user experience, SEO and general marketing strategy are on point. This includes if some refinements may be needed, especially if intended actions (aka conversions) aren’t being completed. 

Setting Up Conversions On Google Analytics 4

Make sure you have a GA4 account linked to your website, and that you’re signed in.

Head to the Google Analytics 4 dashboard, and click on the cog in the bottom left-hand corner. 

When you hover over this cog, it should say ‘admin’.

Immediately, you’ll see a list of actions appear. Click on ‘events’.

A blue button will be displayed saying ‘create event’. Click this and fill out details of your event such as the name, category, action and label. 

Add details about the conversion values. Follow the instructions set by GA4 to allow conversion tracking for your new event through your website. 

You should then see the event has been created and is starting to display data on the GA4 conversions dashboard. This info will be available under 'conversions'.
