When Google Analytics 4 was introduced, it was announced as the event-based analytics tool where everything is an event. A pageview, a purchase, etc. And there are many things to know about them that eventually materialized into this video tutorial.

In today's video, I will show you how to track events with Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager. This tutorial will show:
* What events are tracked in Google Analytics 4 automatically
* What is Enhanced Measurement in Google Analytics 4
* How to track recommended events in Google Analytics 4

* How to plan your event structure and naming convention
* How to test your events in Google Analytics 4
