The Most USEFUL Metrics & Dimensions in GA4


Hello Reader,

When I talk to my clients, they often tell me they are overwhelmed by the number of metrics & dimensions that Google Analytics 4 has. It seems there are hundreds of options.

But in reality, you only need to know a handful of them to use GA4 and get insights. The rest will just distract you or waste your time.

In the video below, I’ll explain the most useful metrics and dimensions in Google Analytics 4.

I’ll cover 26 metrics and 16 dimensions, ranging from user metrics to revenue and engagement metrics.

I've also created a summary sheet of all the metrics & dimensions you need. Grab the summary sheet here.
