UPDATE: Google just changed how GA4 tags are managed in Google Tag Manager. GA4 configuration tag is no longer available. Learn more about the update here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1POi1BZxXwg.html

Honestly, I've been devouring this channels' content the whole morning 'til now (3PM). It started with a small question and then I realized the whole GTM and GA4 were a mess here, and as a go-getter as I am, I had to put things in order. So I searched on the channel every doubt I had and small step after small step, I got things in order, to the point I can now use this advanced (Measuring texts for marketing? That was impossible before!) things to our marketing department. Thank you very much for all the great and connected content you shared with us. Really, I admire your good sense for breaking every GA4 detail into a separate video, but still keep it easy to find the "links" that come before or after that step. God bless you.

Great tutorial! Thank you. One thing that might help those who were in the same situation as me. Using elementor you need to set the ID on the button under advanced & set to "Just Links" for some reason it didn't work with All Elements.

@SAAWood13 14 дней назад

Hi Julius! Thanks so much for sharing this great tutorial for free, much appreciated! Do you have (or know of a resource) how to create a custom html tag which would dynamically extract event category, label, action? It might be interesting to see not only how many clicks certain advertising campaign brought, but also which clicks users are... well... clicking :) . Cheers!

Hey Analytics Mania, what do you do if you go to preview & click on the button but, nothing shows up on the left-hand side, so you can't find the relevant variable. I've set up ga4 configure as well as event as all clicks as well as configured all clicks like you showed in the video. I would really appreciate some guidance. Thanks for all your video's :)

@JuanIgnacioLX 8 месяцев назад

As usual an amazing video! Quick question: How can we define a Click ID value if there is none? Also, do you think that "Click URL" is precise enough to define the trigger?

@AnalyticsMania 8 месяцев назад

If click ID is not present, you could ask a developer to add it. Click url can be a part of the trigger. But it depends on a situation

@JuanIgnacioLX 8 месяцев назад

Perfect, I will get in touch with them. Thank you!

I set up the GTM tag for Add to Cart event 6 months ago, and it appears I did everything correctly. But I can't figure out how to find the data in GA4. I went through your steps (after I make sure I had done everything correct in GTM with the tag and trigger), and then did the steps in Explore, but there is no data. I'm assuming it will take 24 hours to appear. But does that mean only from here on out and not the past 6 months?

@LatinoWebStudio Год назад

Thanks for the video! Just to clarify, for the event to be tracked, I don't actually need to create the event in GA4, right? Once the tag with the trigger and the variable have been configured on Google Tag Manager it will automatically be created and shown in GA4, correct? Do you have a video that shows how to also display these button clicks in Google Ads? So I know that the person who clicked on my ad clicked one of those buttons? As opposed to those who clicked on it organically.

@bkstudio1990 Год назад

Holy Hell, OK! If you get to the point where the firing FAILED and it won't show up in GOOGLE ANALYTICS, its because when you got to Tags > [your event] you will see s pot for the measurement ID. That ID is in your google analytics page Admin> Data Streams> [your website], you should see your measurement ID.

GTM of course. The tutorial is about click tracking with *google tag manager*

@@AnalyticsMania what I meant was did you also create the same event on GA4 too? Cuz I am unable to see the event that I created on GTM on my GA4 account

@wardavis Год назад

can this data be sent as a facebook conversion event using the same tag?

@adityapatra9183 Год назад

Can't thank you enough for this man!!! I have a quick question - I created a trigger to capture the CTA button I have on my Landing Page. On opening GA4 on debug view I can see that the trigger is getting fired but I can't trace the custom event that I created in GTM (for example Whitepaper_DownloadButton) on GA4. If I am clicking that button then GA4 should display the number of times this button has been clicked isn't it?? Where can I find it?

@rastovicfilip 11 месяцев назад

have you solved this? I assume i have to create that event in ga4 in order to extract it from data?

Hi there, the thing is I want to analyze the click text and how it affects user behaviour,... But for that I have to count each click event, I made one parameter called "Count_Number" and the value of that parameter is "1", so each time when trigger fired the value is sent to gtm as "1" But When I connected GA4 with Data Studio to analyze how many times that specific text was clicked it shows only data 1,0,1,1,1, data... For example I have two columns one is "Click Text" other is "Count_Number" so the data in the row is presented like ("Buy now", 1) ("inquire now",1) ("Contact us",0) Tried to change the aggregation also, tried to convert "Count_Number" from "Text" to "Number" Type, Choosen a Lnger Date Range but clicks shows ambiguous data always...IDK why.. If Anyone can help?

@nguyenbaongoc7951 Год назад

@Analytics Mania

@christianrietbroek910 Год назад

In my experience GA 4 registers a doubleclick as two conversions where UA just registers one conversion. Both tags are installed to fire once per event. Is there something I'm missing?

@AnalyticsMania Год назад

If a conversion happens several times per session, every conversion is counted. "once per event" in GTM means "once per click". Two clicks = two conversions. If you want to limit that, you could select "once per page".
