Marketing Success with Google Analytics 4: Insights from Chris 'Mercer' Mercer

  • Summary

  • As a marketer, you know that data is the lifeblood of your strategy. But with so many metrics to track and tools to navigate, it's easy to feel like you're drowning in a sea of numbers. That's where Google Analytics 4 (GA4) comes in - a powerful platform that promises to revolutionize the way we approach marketing measurement.


    In this episode, we sit down with Chris "Mercer" Mercer, the founder of Measurement Marketing and a digital marketing expert, to explore the ins and outs of GA4.



    Throughout the episode, Mercer breaks down the key differences between GA4 and its predecessor, Universal Analytics, and provides practical tips for configuring your account to track the metrics that matter most.



    He also shares his ACT framework for measuring user journeys, which focuses on tracking the number of people asked to take action, those who considered it, and those who ultimately transacted.



    So tune in and discover how to harness GA4's power to supercharge your marketing efforts and achieve better results.
