About Google Analytics GA4

The event data behind every web visit you track.

Google Analytics 4 replaced Universal Analytics in 2023 with an event-based data model. Every interaction on a website or app is recorded as an event with parameters, grouped into sessions and tied to user and device identifiers where consented. GA4 also ships a free BigQuery export that reveals the full, unsampled event stream behind its UI.

The point of pulling GA4 into a warehouse is that the GA4 interface samples, thresholds and aggregates to stay fast, and the numbers that land in a marketing deck are not always the numbers the finance team sees. Next to Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Shopify orders and CRM deals, the GA4 event stream becomes the attribution layer that ties a first touch to a paid invoice, instead of three reports that disagree on the total.

What your Google Analytics GA4 data is for

What you get once Google Analytics GA4 is connected.

Full-event reporting

Unsampled behaviour data next to revenue, per channel, campaign and product.

  • Session and event detail joined to paid orders
  • Channel and campaign attribution beyond last click
  • Cohort behaviour by first-touch source, twelve months out

Event-driven automation

Let GA4 signals fire actions in the rest of the stack, not just in GA4.

  • High-intent visits push into HubSpot as a sales-ready flag
  • Drop-off events trigger Klaviyo or Mailchimp flows
  • Ad spend pauses when conversion cost exceeds target

AI workflows

Use the full event stream to score intent and model cohorts.

  • Purchase-intent scoring per session and device
  • Cohort-LTV prediction by first-touch source
  • Anomaly detection on conversion rate and traffic shape

Custom apps on your data

Internal tools on GA4 event data that the GA4 interface cannot show.

  • Exec-facing revenue attribution across paid and organic
  • Merchandiser board with product-event detail
  • CS lookup with behaviour before a support contact

Real business questions

Answers you will finally get.

Which channels produce customers, not just sessions?

First-touch channel linked to paid invoices twelve months out, next to GA4's own conversion number. Separates the channel that produces clicks that pay from the channel that produces clicks that only look good in the report.

How much of our revenue shows up differently in GA4 than in the ledger?

Reconciliation between GA4 conversion events and paid orders in Shopify or invoices in the accounting system, per time window. Surfaces the consistent gap between the GA4 number and the cleared number, so marketing and finance stop arguing in the Monday meeting.

Where is our paid traffic cannibalising organic?

Paid and organic sessions on the same audience and query, with attributed revenue on each. Identifies the audiences where the paid click was already going to convert organically, so pausing the paid bid would not cost revenue.

Value for everyone in the organisation

Where each function gets value.

For finance leaders

Marketing attribution tied to invoiced revenue, with GA4-to-ledger reconciliation built in. Marketing-budget conversations move from GA4 conversion counts to the cleared revenue per channel.

For sales leaders

First-touch channel and high-intent event signals on the CRM contact before the first sales call. Reps know where a lead came from and what they looked at, instead of asking the marketing team.

For operations

Full-event detail, unsampled, with cross-device and cross-property stitching where consented. Reporting accuracy and privacy posture become a single technical design, not an annual fire drill.

Ideas

What you can automate with Google Analytics GA4.

Pair with Google Ads

Close the loop between GA4 sessions and Google Ads spend

GA4 session and event data lands next to the Google Ads click and cost that produced it. ROAS stops being a number Google reports against its own pixel and starts reflecting the paid orders those sessions produced, with LTV twelve months out available to Smart Bidding.

Pair with HubSpot

Surface GA4 intent on HubSpot contacts

GA4 events for the pages a HubSpot contact viewed and the assets they downloaded push onto the contact timeline. Sales sees the intent trail before the first call and marketing scores leads on behaviour, not on form fills alone.

Pair with Shopify

Match GA4 behaviour to Shopify orders

GA4 event detail joins to the Shopify order the session produced, including product view, add-to-cart and checkout drop-off. Merchandising and marketing see which product journeys end in paid revenue and which ones drop at the cart.

Pair with Facebook Ads

Blend GA4 attribution across Meta and Google

Facebook Ads click data and GA4 session data land in the same warehouse to produce a multi-touch picture across Meta, Google and organic. Spend decisions move from per-channel ROAS on each vendor's dashboard to a blended cost per paying customer.

Your existing tools

Your data lands in a warehouse. Your BI tools read from it.

You keep the reporting tool you already have. We connect it to the warehouse where your Google Analytics GA4 data lives.

Three steps

From Google Analytics GA4 to answers in three steps.

01

Connect securely

OAuth authentication. Read-only by default. We sign a DPA and your admin keeps the keys.

02

Land in your warehouse

Data flows into your warehouse on your schedule. Near real time or nightly, your call. You own the data.

03

Reporting, automation, AI

We build the first dashboard, workflow or AI feature with you, then hand over the keys. Or we stay on for ongoing delivery.

Two ways to work with us

Pick the track that fits how you work.

Track 01

Self-serve

We set up the foundation. Your team builds on top.

  • Google Analytics GA4 connector configured and running
  • Warehouse set up in your cloud account
  • Clean access for your Power BI, Fabric or Tableau team
  • Documentation on what's in the data model
  • Sync monitoring so you're warned before reports break

Best fit Teams that already have a BI analyst or data engineer and want to own the build.

Track 02

Done for you

We build the whole thing, end to end.

  • Everything in Self-serve
  • Dashboards built to the questions your team actually asks
  • Automations between your systems
  • AI workflows scoped to real tasks your team runs
  • Custom apps where a dashboard does not cut it
  • Ongoing delivery at a pace that fits your team

Best fit Teams without in-house BI or dev capacity. You tell us what you need and we deliver it.

Before you book

Frequently asked questions.

Who owns the data?

You do. It lands in your warehouse, on your cloud account. We don't resell or aggregate it. If you stop working with us, the warehouse stays yours and keeps running.

How fresh is the data?

Near real time for most operational systems. For heavier sources we schedule hourly or nightly. You pick based on what the reports need.

Do I need a warehouse already?

No. If you don't have one, we help you pick one and set it up as part of the first delivery. Common starting points are Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, or a small Postgres start.

Do you pull GA4 via the BigQuery export or via the API?

BigQuery export is the primary path and lands the full, unsampled event stream in the warehouse. The Data API is used where BigQuery export is not enabled or for specific aggregated metrics, and reconciliation between the two lives in the warehouse itself.
