Navigating the stormy seas of GA4 migration

Setting sail with GA4 is far more challenging than Google’s claims about their ‘automatic migration’ make it sound.  GA4 might seem like a ‘new version’ of Google Analytics, but it’s really a new product in disguise.

As we enter the final months of Universal Analytics (GA3), join PTKO analyst, Rick Richards leads a conversation with our clients, Marty Schell of Urban Land Institute and Justin Weyman of Share Our Strength, who have weathered the stormy seas of ‘migration’ to discuss challenges, opportunities, and lessons learned.
