Exploration and Advanced Query Engine Flashcards
GA4 is missing some features for exploratory analysis in the reporting interface that were present in the Universal Analytics one. what can you do ?
acess the analysis hub functionality inside GA4
What is GA4 Custom Audiences
powerful segmentation engine that allow us to select the target people we need to analyze or to optimize the experience
How can we create custom audiences?
using dimensions and metrics. we can focus on specific characteristics, behaviours or classifications
What are the 3 components to the formed reports inside GA4?
- Variables - select the data you plan to use in a report by choosing the data range, segments, dimensions and metrics
- Tab Settings - on this tab, you can configuere what the report will look like
- The Output - onde everything is configured, you will get access to the report to analyse data
what is the true value of GA4 when comparing with Universal Analytics
its the ability to create data explorations and customizations to measure the information our business really needs. From funnel analysis to cohorts, and other user explorations, we have a lot of options in Data Explorations
What are some of the Data Explorations
- Free form exploration
- Cohort Exploration
- Funnel Exploration
- Segment Overlap
- User exploration
- Path Exploration
- User lifetime
Free form exploration
explore your dara in a familiar cross tab layout, you can also apply several different visualization styles in free form, including bar charts, pie charts, line charts, scatter plots and geo maps
the most flexible report includes many capabilities. can act as a simple table, but also as a pivot table, can contain graphics and allow us to dynamic gather our insights
Cohort exploration
gain insights from the behaviour and performance of groups of users related by common attributes
want to know how your users behave over a period of time? this report allow us to see the impact and behaviour of users over time. focus on a starting moment and analyze related behaviour, such as returning users coming back or purchasing again
Funnel Exploration
visualize the steps users take to complete tasks on your site or app, and see how you can optimize user experience and identify over - or - under performing audiences
In GA4, Google made it much easier to analyze funnels using multiple pìeces of information. we can understand the evolution over any funnel steps and compare it between segments. It also allow us to easily identidy our steps and look for the different impacts in the performance
Segment Overlap
see how different user segments relate to each other. use this techinque to identify new segments of users who meet complex criteria
In a multi-devide and multi-session journey. knowing the different user behaviour is key to better design our strategy. Compare up to 3 audiences with segment comparisons and understand how they overlay, allowing us to find new audiences
User exploration
exqamine the users that make up segments you create or import, you can also drill down into individual user activities
path exploration
visualize the paths your users take as they interact with our website or apps
lacking the reports for analyzing the paths, here the Path Analysis. It allows to compare in a much clearer and easier the different internal and external navigational trends
user lifetime
explore user behaviour and value over their lifetime as a customer
a complete new vision to the impact of users and the way they engage over time
what are explorations and what to use them for
unique way to get access to the full database of google analytics
