Utilise Predefined Reports:
GA4 provides predefined reports for user acquisition, engagement, retention, and monetisation. Start by exploring these reports to gain insights into different aspects of user behaviour without the need for extensive customization.
Customise Reports:
While the predefined reports offer valuable insights, you may need to customise them further to align with your specific business needs. Use the customization options available in GA4 to create custom reports, segments, and dashboards tailored to your requirements.
If you are still using the standard libraries e.g. ‘Business Objectives’. ‘Life cycle – you may want to think about how else to categorise the areas of your business more suitably. For example, split your reports into country specific or perhaps different facets of your business.
Set Up Alerts:
