Thankyou this video is lifesaver for SMEs like us, god bless you! Anyway for those of you who manage your own website with wordpress, there's one tips from me. I was stuck at the first 13.00 minutes tutorial at this video. First I cant find the plugin Google Tag Manager, turns out that the new plugin of Google Tag Manager for Wordpress has changed its name to GTM4. And second once I done the step on minute 12 to 13, my Google Analytics won't track any data. It's says I've to wait 10 minutes, but I've been waiting desperately for hours to wait my Google Analytics working, turns out that I have to ticked the container code toggle to on (while defaultly it's thick in off). It's indeed not on the video because maybe it's the new plugin interface update. Hope it help :)
Many thanks for the updated info
``turns out that I have to ticked the container code toggle to on`` where? In tag menager or plugin in wordpress?
As of today, 27 Nov 2022 Google Tag Manager for Wordpress is called GTM4WP
Knowing something and teaching others are two different things, the second one is much more complicated. You are one of the best teachers I found on UA-cam.
Thank you so much Sujit
Definitely the best teacher. Having watch different videos this is the only one I understand!
Agreed!! 🎉
There's no cap.
Fantastic Quick walkthrough of GA4 in a very possible detailed way.❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am 12 minutes in and I have already achieved what ive been unsuccessfully trying to do for 4 weeks. As a small business owner with a low marketing budget you don't understand how seriously valuable this video is for me. Thank you so much
Great to hear Gawrisan
Dear Luc...I am a 64 year young geezer, running a website on the wix platform. You really made all my worries, incompetence and frustrations go away. Your tutorials are illuminating, clear, didactic and you have great teaching skills. Thanks a zillion.🙏🙏
Whoa! So please to hear this. I'm glad i was able to help. Thanks for your kind comment
This tutorial is by far the best tutorial about Google Analytics. I tried other YT videos, and this video the THE BEST!
Thank you so much Horacio, much appreciated
Thank you for your channel just in time Google Site asked me to transfer to the GA4 just now and then this playlist of yours popping out. Cheers!
You're very welcome!
Excellent. It's the best when compared to all other videos on youtube on the topic !! Nice work and thank you for this great work. Immensely helped in understanding google analytics and google tag manager in detail.
very glad to hear it Aneesh. Thanks for watching
Some of the UA-cam videos I've watched show you how to set up GA4 without helping you understand how it works in the same video so I really appreciate this video and how easy it was to understand everything!
Many thanks Vanesse
Amazing work as always Luc. You’re one of the best Digital Marketing teachers on UA-cam.
Wow, thanks! 😊
Well done! The best GA4 tutorial I've seen yet.
Thanks so much jack

Glad to hear that Ahmed
As a total beginner, thank you for this very in-depth instruction. I figured out how to add multiple websites to the same login Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager accounts too. Thanks lots.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching
What's up Luc; Thank you for the video (including your previous videos I watched). G4 was also new to me but thanks to your video, I am no longer confused and was able to set it up in a jiffy. You make complicated Google things easier for everyone to follow, understand, and implement. Unlike one of your British brother, your speech is normal and natural. You can have the best videos out there. But if no one can understand you nor comprehend because of your fast speech, then might as well not make videos at all. Yours are just right and very pleasant to watch and listen to. Thank you a million.
Thanks a lot Tom. Really appreciate your kind comment.
Thanks!
You are welcome
thanks a lot, i couldn't have done it without you.
Glad I could help, thanks for watching René

@@rankingacademy have you made a video that covers deleting events? I have modified a couple but they still appear much to my frustration. Thanks in advance.
absolutely fantastic. very clear and easy to follow. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.👏
My pleasure. Thanks for watching
This is SO helpful! You are a great teacher. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching
Fantastic presentation. What about a case where you want to track multiple websites, android and ios platforms? Do you create different instances or have the option to manage all under one platform?
Great tutorial!
Thank you!
Very useful content thanks. Well structured.
Glad you think so! Thanks Mark
Hey, Luc. Idk how else to say this but I fucking love you! You have SUCH a great channel! It's so informative. You do a stupendous job from the editing to making the content easy to understand (and fun to watch). SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks so much Eddie. Glad you liked it and welcome onboard
Hi Luc, Its always pleasure watching your tutorials. Well i have a suggestion " Can you please make tutorials on SEMRUSH too. as i did not find any on your channel." As you explain things quite well so it will be great if you can make one on that too. Hope you will create one..
Hi Syed. Thank you very much. Although I used SEN RUSH a while ago it's unlikely I'll do a tutorial on it as I don't have access to it anymore.
Thank you, well done
Thanks for watching!
Many thanks! Simple, full of info, straightforward to the point. So useful!
Thanks Mark
Hi Luc, still watching this excellent presentation - excellent as always. But what I wondered was whether you open new Gmail accounts for each client or hold then under a "Super Admin" account - I'm wondering as clients may decide to transfer their account management to a new person or run themselves at some point. Many thanks, now back to your video.
Hi Andrew. I personally always either create a new account for new client or if they prefer, i can use their own details if they prefer. I always keep everything separate and make sure they are the owners of the listing, just in case they no longer require my services
Very in-depth instructions. Keep up the good work please
Many thanks
Thanks for this Valueable info I really appreciate 💕💕💕💕
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for making this video. It was very helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Melissa

hi, thanks for positng..... how do you load the first visit , begin checkout and purchase into the conversions view in engagement?
Super nice veiod
So kind of you
Thanks so much great video
You are so welcome!
شكرا كثيرا علي هذا الفيديو الرائع لقد استفدت منه كثيرا فهو تقريبا يعادي شهادة Google Analytics . بحثت داخل القناة عن فيديو للمستوي المتقدم ولكن لم اجد . أرجو منك بشدة أن تقوم بعمل فيديو أخر عن تحليلات جوجل
شكرا جزيلا شيماء. أنا سعيد لأنك وجدت الفيديو مفيدًا. لقد أضفت طلبك إلى قائمتي
Question? With the ability to set up event conversions do you still need to use GTM to set up triggers for conversions? It seems like with GA4 you don't need GTM anymore. Great tutorial thanks for posting!
I prefer to use GTM so everything is under one roof and easily accessible.
excellent explanation, a natural teacher! thank you
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching
Thank you a lot my friend you help me out
No problem 👍 Thanks for watching Jay
Great information and thanks
My pleasure. Thanks for watching Jim
Finally a good instruction. I was just looking for the Set Up, but unfortunately even with your instructions it does not work... It does not show any data in analytics for me after the set up. Does anyone know what could be the issue?
Hard for me to tell without looking at the way you set it up sira
@@rankingacademy Hi, thank you for your answer. Actually now it did work. Apparently it just took really long, instead of 10 Minutes even after 1 hour, there was nothing yet. But today it works. So thank you so much :)
great in depth video. a vid on how to determine the cost of each lead is would be great. thanks
Thanks Ryan. I will add it to my list
Really helpful
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing. Is there any solution to move annotation data from UA to GA4 property?
Not sure TBH
Thanks for this
My pleasure!
Thank you so much! Very clear and useful!
You're welcome!
Thank you Luc, your training is fantastic :)
The points are well structured and easy even I am newbie to this.
Love from Malaysia :)
Keep inspiring and sharing with us. Happy Marketing !
You're so welcome! Thanks a lot Nadia
Recommend any articles on this topic, please
Thank you Luc!
Sure thing Sarah. Thanks for watching.
Thank you 😊
You're welcome Michael 😊
I need to know which paid keywords ended up in my contact/inquiry page, and also from which country. Used to be a breeze with content drilldown. Help appreciated!
Love from usa
Many thanks Anthony
I figured out how to add multiple websites to the same login Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager accounts too.
Nice work Eden
Great Video 👍 I have a question: how can i add my old universal analytics annotations to GA4?
Thanks Zoha. Unfortunately I am not sure you can but
@@rankingacademy I did some more research and I found a tool called GAannotations and it is doing the job, thank you anyway.
Hi, thank you very much.
but I dont have a "configure" option, how can I enable one ?
Thank you
If I have existing GA set up in Tag Manager, with years of data, do I run both GA and GA4 in tag manager or delete the old version?
Yes run both GA and GA4 in tag manager. That's what I do
@@rankingacademy Thank you. I appreciate the expediency of your reply. I asked as it seems having GA(4) installed is detrimental when it comes to using Pagespeed insights.
Thank you sooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!
You're very welcome
What would be the difference between inserting the G4A code from Analytics directly into your Wix-based website, vs. inserting it into Tag Manager + inserting tag manager code into your site, etc?
Tag manager is like a container in which you can add multiple tags for different tracking purposes (GA, Social media, on page experience etc...) So everything sits in one place and is easily manageable.
Amazing tuto, thank you so much
You're very welcome!
when you add a dimension to the user acquistion view, can you save that change so it always adds it when you view the page?
Great tutorial. Thanks!
Thanks a lot
Great job, I'll be back!!!
Great stuff. I look forward to it.
