This simple guide is intended to show the steps of a basic Google Analytics 4 setup and give a brief overview of the implementation.<\/p>\n

1. Creation and setup of GA4 Property<\/h2>\n

First you need to clarify whether you already have an existing Google Analytics setup. If one exists, you can easily create a new property using the Google Analytics Assistant:<\/p>\n

In your existing Google Analytics account, click on “Administration”. It is important that you are in the desired account, otherwise the new GA4 property will end up in the wrong account.<\/p>\n

Now you have to click on the item “Assistant for setting up a GA4 property” in the “Property” column.\"SetupAfterwards, the wizard will be executed by clicking on “Start now” and you will be guided through the creation process (the process is quite short). The process is completed by clicking on “Create property” and you have now created a new GA4 property.<\/p>\n

If you want to create a completely new property, you just need to click on the blue “Create Property” button. Then you simply follow the steps and fill out the provided masks.<\/p>\n

2. Create data streams<\/h2>\n

You can choose your own data stream for each of the three instances. You can choose from web, Android app and iOS app.\"SetupFor example, if you now select the web stream, you only have to add the website URL and the stream name and you can then create the stream. In the default settings, standard measurements are automatically taken on the web page -> This new feature is called “Optimized Analytics” or “Activate Enhanced Measurement” and no further settings are required.\"Setup<\/p>\n

3. Implement on the website<\/h2>\n

Depending on which method you previously used to implement Universal Google Analytics, GA4 can be implemented into the website in the same way:<\/p>\n
