Hi, I’m [QUĀY.jo]

Let me show you how to set up the new Google Analytics 4

Universal Analytics (UA) standard will stop processing data starting on July 1, 2023. Create your new GA4 property now!

I recommend setting up a new Google Analytics 4 property from scratch because UA is totally different from GA4, certain things might not migrate well so you’ll want a fresh, clean install.

Start here if you don’t know whether you have a Google Analytics account

scroll down below this page if you know that you already have a Google Analytics account
