3 Recommendations for Bidding Farewell to Universal Analytics with Confidence
Since standard Universal Analytics (UA) properties stopped processing data on July 1, I have been seeing quite a few grumblings on the interwebs about how Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is a disappointing sequel. Some dissatisfied marketers are even using GA4 to simply recreate the types of UA dashboards they are familiar with. I’m pleased to report, however, that we have been hearing fewer negative comments from our clients about GA4 over the last couple of months. I think that’s partly because we’ve been...
Google Ads Innovation Storm Watch: Campaigns Upgradeable to Performance Max
As my team and I continue to monitor the Google Ads innovation storm, a significant development on our radar is the new option to upgrade Display and Search Ads (DSA) and Smart Display campaigns to Performance Max campaigns. I recommend that you go ahead and take this option.
