down all of the reports into two main types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Overview Reports: high-level summary of key metrics (e.g., user acquisition, engagement rate, event count)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Detail Reports: specific dimensions and metrics for detailed analysis (e.g., demographics, device category, event name)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>GA4 also offers some new report features such as path exploration and exploration reports, but we\u2019ll cover those in a separate guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this article, we\u2019ll work our way straight down the list of reports

single view that gives you a general sense of how much traffic you\u2019re receiving, where your traffic is coming from, and what actions users are taking on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"realtime\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real-Time Reporting in GA4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Realtime reports in GA4 work almost the same way as they did in Universal Analytics. You can get a real-time snapshot of the users on your website over the last 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll see key data such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Active users<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Top active pages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Top events<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Geographic data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The realtime report is a cool way to see what\u2019s happening right this second. But if you want to dive into a more comprehensive analysis, understand behavior across a user\u2019s life cycle, or compare metrics across different date ranges, then you\u2019ll need to dig into the relevant reports below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"acquisition\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acquisition Reports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Acquisition is about understanding how users got to your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the acquisition section, you\u2019ll see 3 different reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Acquisition Overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Overview report is similar to the Snapshot above but looks only at metrics related to acquisition. You can see a combination of data about the way users find your website plus which channels or campaigns are driving the most traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. User Acquisition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The User Acquisition report filters your traffic to only look at how New Users arrived at your website for the first time. This is helpful if you want to better understand how people are learning about your website and help you with digital marketing attribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically: <b><i>How did people find us in the first place?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you may be wondering: Do more people find our website through Instagram and <i>then <\/i>click on an ad? Or do they click on the ad first and then find us through Instagram?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"620\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/User-Acquisition-report.jpg\" alt=\"User Acquisition report\" class=\"wp-image-40417 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/User-Acquisition-report.jpg.webp 1600w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/User-Acquisition-report-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/User-Acquisition-report-1024x397.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/User-Acquisition-report-768x298.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/User-Acquisition-report-1536x595.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/User-Acquisition-report-600x233.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/User-Acquisition-report-1200x465.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/User-Acquisition-report-730x283.jpg.webp 730w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/User-Acquisition-report-1460x566.jpg.webp 1460w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/User-Acquisition-report-784x304.jpg.webp 784w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/User-Acquisition-report-1568x608.jpg.webp 1568w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/User-Acquisition-report-877x340.jpg.webp 877w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/620;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The default view for the User Acquisition report would help you answer that question by showing you the First User interaction by default channel group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also toggle this report by clicking the dropdown and grouping acquisition by other dimensions like Source, Medium, or Campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Events Report<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Events report is where the magic happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you\u2019ll be able to see granular data about the actions your website visitors are taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, you\u2019ll see things like <b>page_view<\/b>, <b>scroll<\/b>, <b>click<\/b>, <b>first_visit<\/b>, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1092\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Events-Report.jpg\" alt=\"Events Report\" class=\"wp-image-40418 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Events-Report.jpg.webp 1600w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Events-Report-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Events-Report-1024x699.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Events-Report-768x524.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Events-Report-1536x1048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Events-Report-600x410.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Events-Report-1200x819.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Events-Report-730x498.jpg.webp 730w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Events-Report-1460x996.jpg.webp 1460w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Events-Report-784x535.jpg.webp 784w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Events-Report-1568x1070.jpg.webp 1568w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Events-Report-877x599.jpg.webp 877w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/1092;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(\u201cPage Views\u201d are considered an event on GA4.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can create up to 50 custom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/ga4-events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GA4 events<\/a> to track things like sign-ups, subscriptions, or other actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you click on each event, you can drill down further to see more information about the actions, when and where they occurred, and other details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Conversions Report<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to all of the events on your website, it\u2019s likely that some of these actions represent an actual conversion that\u2019s correlated with sales or revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, when a user creates an account or makes a purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you configure GA4 events, you can indicate whether each specific event should be treated as a conversion. If you mark the event as a conversion, then those events will appear in this special report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives you a filtered view of the conversions that have been completed. And you can drill down to see where those conversions came from and other relevant information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Nerd note: In GA4, events marked as Conversions have completely replaced \u201cGoals\u201d.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Pages and Screens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This report is similar to the \u201cPage Views\u201d report that you may be used to seeing in Universal Analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can quickly see which pages on your website have racked up the most views, have been visited by the most users, and have contributed the highest number of conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The default report will show pages by their title, but if you are used to browsing pages by their URL, then you can change the view from the dropdown above the list of pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Landing Pages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Landing pages are the first pages that a user sees when they come to your website on any given session. It\u2019s like if you had a massive house with dozens or hundreds (or thousands) of front doors. You may want to know which ones your guests are using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Because obviously, if you have a house that big, you have guests coming and going constantly.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Landing Page report basically tells you which door(s) your visitors use most frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"821\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Landing-Page-report.jpg\" alt=\"Landing Page report\" class=\"wp-image-40419 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Landing-Page-report.jpg.webp 1600w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Landing-Page-report-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Landing-Page-report-1024x525.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Landing-Page-report-768x394.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Landing-Page-report-1536x788.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Landing-Page-report-600x308.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Landing-Page-report-1200x616.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Landing-Page-report-730x375.jpg.webp 730w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Landing-Page-report-1460x749.jpg.webp 1460w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Landing-Page-report-784x402.jpg.webp 784w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Landing-Page-report-1568x805.jpg.webp 1568w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Landing-Page-report-877x450.jpg.webp 877w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/821;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives you a good sense of which pages or content are most attractive to users, getting the most visibility in organic search results, or generating the most buzz on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"monetization\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monetization Reports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you probably guessed by the name, Monetization Reports are built to help you understand how and where your website is generating actual revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

Ecommerce Purchases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an e-commerce website or an online store, you should configure <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/analytics\/answer\/12200568?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ecommerce tracking within GA4<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will allow you to see all the purchases made on your website, browse your specific products to see which are most popular \/ generating the most revenue, and other data that will help you optimize sales and grow your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. In-app Purchases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your website or mobile app offers users the chance to make a purchase (e.g., buying extra spins on that virtual slot machine or signing up for a paid subscription to your SaaS), you can configure that action as an in-app purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you\u2019ll be able to use this report to see all the in-app purchases and information about who made those purchases and where they occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To set this up, you\u2019ll simply need to fire an event named \u201cin_app_purchase\u201d when a purchase is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Publisher Ads<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose your website or mobile app is monetized with advertisements. In that case, this report will help you see how much you\u2019re earning, which ads are generating the most revenue, and which pages are generating the most impressions and clicks on the ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This report integrates directly with Google Ad Manager or AdMob to generate data. If you\u2019re using another ad network, then you\u2019ll need to pass ad data manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Promotions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final monetization report is the Promotions Report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This simplifies the way that you track promotions like special offers, discounts, and coupons. Whereas you may have created custom tracking parameters and other systems in Universal Analytics, you can now directly configure specific promotions and then track their impact on revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you can run a banner offering 10% off a product and then measure to see how many purchases and how much revenue that specific promotion generated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"retention\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Retention Report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Parting is such sweet sorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if your retention metrics are right, then you won\u2019t even sweat it \u2014&nbsp; You know those users will be right back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Retention Report gives you a simple snapshot of how many new users are visiting your website versus the number of returning users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"712\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Retention-Report.jpg\" alt=\"Retention Report\" class=\"wp-image-40421 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Retention-Report.jpg.webp 1600w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Retention-Report-300x134.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Retention-Report-1024x456.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Retention-Report-768x342.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Retention-Report-1536x684.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Retention-Report-600x267.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Retention-Report-1200x534.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Retention-Report-730x325.jpg.webp 730w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Retention-Report-1460x650.jpg.webp 1460w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Retention-Report-784x349.jpg.webp 784w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Retention-Report-1568x698.jpg.webp 1568w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Retention-Report-877x390.jpg.webp 877w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/712;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can take it one step further by looking at retention over time, retention by cohort, and other advanced reports that help you better understand if and when users are most likely to come back to your site in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"demographics\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Demographics Report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you ever wish you could just walk up and shake the hand of your website visitors and get to know them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, that would be a bit creepy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you can at least learn a bit more about them <i>from a distance<\/i> with the Demographics Report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

But, really, we\u2019ve only scratched the surface of what kind of data you can compile and analyze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a few additional things you may want to explore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explorations and Visualizations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of GA4\u2019s most popular new features is the Explorations tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we\u2019re focused on the Report tab in this article, we won\u2019t cover all of the details for how to use it. But, suffice to say that Explorations unlocks a whole new set of capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With GA4 Explorations, you can conduct free-form data analysis and build custom visualizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you can create a Funnel Exploration to help you better understand how users arrive on your website and then flow through it. You can also explore specific user paths with the Path Exploration and compare audience segments (including secondary dimensions!) visually with a Segment Overlap analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Integrations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re really ready to roll up your sleeves, your ability to build custom GA4 reports is only limited by your imagination (and your technical skills).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GA4 comes with a huge range of native integrations and can share data with most of the common Google products and other data analysis tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>GA4 integrates with Google Tag Manager for custom event tracking and conversions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GA4 integrates with BigQuery for advanced data analysis using SQL-like commands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GA4 can be linked with Google Search Console for SEO analysis and optimization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"summary\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">That\u2019s All GA4 Now, Folks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully you\u2019ve found this review of GA4 reports helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there\u2019s some big changes from UA, getting used to the new version of Analytics will just take time. After a few months, you\u2019ll be a pro who doesn\u2019t think twice about pulling the perfect report from the data stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until GA5 comes out\u2026.or whatever the heck they decide to call the next one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n\tclass=\"article-cta-shared article-cta-small\"\n>\n    <div class=\"tr-img-wrap-outer jsLoading\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"js-img-lazy \" src=\"https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/blog2018\/assets\/img\/lazy-loading-transparent.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/blog2018\/assets\/img\/article-small-ad-cta-placeholder.webp 1x, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/blog2018\/assets\/img\/article-small-ad-cta-placeholder-x2.webp 2x\"  alt=\"Ad background image\" \/><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  <div class=\"content-btm\">\n    <h2\n      class=\"h2--md\"\n    >\n      Get More Visitors, Grow Your Business\n    <\/h2>\n    <p\n      class=\"p--md\"\n    >\n      Our marketing experts will help you earn more traffic and convert more website visitors so you can focus on running your business.\n    <\/p>\n\n            <a\n            href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/pro-services\/marketing\/\"\n                        class=\"btn btn--white-outline btn--sm btn--round\"\n                                    target=\"_blank\"\n            rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n            >\n                            Learn More                    <\/a>\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before GA4, there was\u2026. \u2026.UA\u2026.
