Data analytics and search engine optimization are crucial for understanding website performance and user behaviors. Setting up Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and running technical SEO audits helps businesses measure conversions and improve visibility.
1. Setting Up GA4 Telemetry Pipelines
Google Analytics 4 uses an event-based tracking model. Instead of tracking simple pageviews, GA4 tracks user interactions like button clicks, form submissions, and video plays.
- Custom Event Tracking: Set up tags in Google Tag Manager to track actions like the "Get Estimate" button clicks.
- Conversion Funnels: Analyze where users drop off in your inquiry flow to optimize checkout or sign-up forms.
2. Running Basic Technical SEO Audits
A technical SEO audit ensures search engines can index your website. Use tools like Google Search Console to check for crawl errors, missing meta tags, and slow mobile loading speeds.

Q: What is a custom event in GA4?
