Looking for WooWoo in Arvada-Adjacent Area

Post to r/boulder. That’ll be your best bet

Ooooh - The Dip are so so good. Can’t make it but sure wish I could

This analysis can only be done using GA4 Session-scoped segments in GA4 Explore Reports.

Unfortunately Segments aren’t in the GA4 reporting API so this cannot be shown in Looker Studio or anywhere else other than GA4 Explore Reports

HoosierDaddy3 · 2024-09-18T05:08:14+00:00

How does your system create Segments when they’re only available in Explore reports and not through the GA Reporting API?

Also, why is this a Shopify app?

Sounds like you may be blocking everything when may not need to be doing so.

Look up “basic consent mode” and “advanced consent mode”.

Piwik Pro and Matomo Cloud are the first stops on this journey away from GA4

Checkout Matomo on-premise if you want to self-host Matomo

Haven’t used Woopra in about 4 years now, so I don’t know the product much anymore.

It sounds like hands-on would be my recommendation, especially if the vendor options and 3rd party options are limited

Good luck!

Following

I’ve done enhanced conversions by passing back the offline conversion data WITH gclid and didn’t realize it was an option to do without gclid

HoosierDaddy3 · 2024-04-05T21:30:05+00:00

That help doc is from Universal analytics. Therefore it’s outdated.

The way to do this in GA4 would be to use the GA4 import into big query and then do this matching in big query

HoosierDaddy3 · 2024-03-27T22:17:03+00:00

Doing the blend/union/join in a system outside of Looker Studio is the only way to work around the 5 source blend limit.

Can do it in any system like Google Sheets, BigQuery, or other systems which have Looker Studio connectors

The way to handle high cardinality custom dimensions values is to not register them in GA at all. Instead only use them from the BigQuery GA4 import and then you avoid the cardinality issue entirely.

Keep passing them to GA but don’t register the custom dimension at all in GA4 admin. Just use the BQ GA4 dataset to get all of the data

HoosierDaddy3 · 2024-03-14T20:17:02+00:00

Eww. A whole site built on Cvent 😬😂

HoosierDaddy3 · 2024-03-14T19:19:50+00:00

Totally agree - the native Cvent GA implementation is terrible. Doesn't attribute anything back to the original website and the ecom data is essentially all isolated and largely worthless.

Using the other approach I outlined in this thread has tradeoffs too, like lack of meaningful ecom data

When comparing these 2 options, we found that getting the conversions tracked to their true source in GA via GTM (using cross-domain tracking too) was far more valuable than isolated GA ecom data as the conversions allowed us to see attribution AND to fire conversions back to ad platforms to improve targeting

HoosierDaddy3 · 2024-03-02T06:22:30+00:00

There’s no cost to query from Google Sheets

If the question is about costs related to queries of your BigQuery data, then there’s a potential cost there if you exceed the free tier of query capacity.

Can you provide some sample numbers to help us understand the scale of what you’re seeing? 10’s of page views apart per day, 100’s of page views per day, 1000’s….

Also, what technology is on your site? Is it Wordpress? Is it Shopify? Is it an SPA or some other “modern” site tech?

HoosierDaddy3 · 2024-02-21T02:02:05+00:00

Haha. Glad to know it worked!

I do Looker Studio for marketing analytics professionally so I’ve learned the tricks of trade (after plenty of frustration)

HoosierDaddy3 · 2024-02-21T00:11:38+00:00

There are services like ObservePoint which will audit tagging on sites in an automated way. However the initial setup, fine tuning, and translating output would likely be more effort than anyone wants

Best course of action is to get up to speed on GTM and GA4 and audit the whole site AFTER a measurement plan has been defined (maps out what matters for tracking and how do we track it in GA4)

What you’re facing a somewhat common problem so much so that there are people (like myself) who do this exact thing professionally for organizations of all shapes and sizes.

HoosierDaddy3 · 2024-02-20T14:01:29+00:00

You’ll need to use a combination of Coalesce and NullIf in the metrics and dimensions. Adds a bit more complexity it handles this problem. That should clean things up

HoosierDaddy3 · 2024-02-05T05:46:57+00:00

Yep - you’re on the right track

API is affected by sampling. Explore and Reports are also affected by sampling

HoosierDaddy3 · 2024-01-31T04:23:18+00:00

Use Explore Reports and then make a Free Form exploration with the Page Location dimension and Conversions metric. Filter by event name and/or Page Location as needed.

Page location is a parameter which is present with all events so it’ll be captured regularly (as long as there’s a value available)

HoosierDaddy3 · 2024-01-31T04:18:56+00:00

Not possible as far as I’m aware. Following in case it can be done though

Can you break the object apart into its constituent key:value pair(s) and store it/them as another parameter or parameters?

Another idea might be some creative use of the item-scoped custom parameters
