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 track custom events in Google Analytics 4
* How to create new events based on other events (directly in GA4 interface)
* How to modify incoming events and fix typos in them
* How to plan your event structure and naming convention
* How to test your events in Google Analytics 4
* And where to find your events in Google Analytics 4 reports.
There are many things that need to be covered (hence the length of it is longer than usual). But this is the core of GA4 and you MUST understand everything I teach in this video.
