SEO Basics
GA4
GA4, or Google Analytics 4, is Google’s event-based analytics platform for measuring website and app behavior.
What it means
GA4 tracks events such as page views, Clicks, form submissions, purchases and engagement. SEO teams use it to connect Organic traffic with business outcomes, not just rankings.
Why it matters
It matters because visibility without conversion insight can lead to poor decisions. GA4 helps show which pages, channels and queries contribute to leads, revenue or engagement.
Example
An ecommerce site can compare organic sessions, product views and purchases from SEO landing pages.
Common mistakes
Common mistakes include installing GA4 without consent controls, failing to mark conversions, or reading GA4 as if it worked exactly like Universal Analytics.
