What is GA4 Migration?

GA4 is the next generation of web analytics from Google. It offers advanced tracking and reporting capabilities that provide a deeper understanding of user behavior and customer journeys across various touchpoints. GA4 lets website owners harness the power of machine learning and AI to uncover actionable insights, enhance marketing strategies, and drive better business results. GA4 migration is the process of creating and configuring a new GA4 property, and ensuring that your tracking apparatus is recreated in accordance with GA4's unique new data model. 

GA4 is not just an upgrade from the previous version of Google Analytics. It's a completely new platform that requires a separate implementation and migration process. What's more - the old version of Google Analytics, Universal Analytics (UA), will stop collecting data on July 1, 2023 and your historical data will be deleted beginning January 1, 2024. So yeah...you kind of have to.

But it's ok. We're here to help! Enter Trolley Web's GA4 Migration Service: We can take the reins on your migration, set up your new GA4 property, connect with existing properties, create and configure data streams, and install tracking codes and tags so you can get the most out of Google's powerful new data tools.

Basic GA4 Migration Services
$299

No matter where you are in your marketing and Analytics journey, you'll need the basics. Our GA4 migration includes the following services:

  • Create a new GA4 property
    If your site is still connected to a Universal Analytics property, we'll create the new GA4 property and connect it to transfer as much as possible through Google's migration tools. If you have never set up Google Analytics, we'll create a new property from scratch.
  • Install the GA4 tracking code
    This replaces the Universal Analytics tracking code, and is required to send data from your website to Google Analytics.
  • Set up data streams
    Data streams are the source of data for your GA4 property. You can set up data streams for websites, mobile apps, or other digital platforms.
  • Compare data between Universal Analytics and GA4
    We will run both GA4 and Universal Analytics in parallel for a period of time to compare the data and ensure accuracy before fully transitioning to GA4.
  • Backup Historical UA Data
    The old version of Google Analytics will stop collecting data on July 1, 2023 and your historical data will be deleted beginning January 1, 2024. We'll create backups of this crucial data so you can continue to track the growth of your site for optimization and reporting.

Configure events and conversions - Advanced

Conversion tracking can give very detailed information about how the performance of your digital properties. To do this, GA4 needs to know which events and which parameters to track. Custom tracking setups can get lost in translation between UA's session-based data model and GA4's event-based model. Event and conversion tracking are not included in our Basic GA4 Migration, but are highly recommended for a robust SEO & marketing strategy.
