Google Analytics 4 training: measure what really counts.

In this GA4 training you learn to set up measurement you can build on, with Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager, and to read the numbers that drive decisions. Looking for a privacy-friendly alternative? Matomo is covered too.

01

Who it's for

The audience

For anyone who makes decisions based on website data, or who has to deliver that data. You don't need to be a developer, just curious about where your numbers come from.

01

Marketers

You steer campaigns and want to know which channels really bring in leads or revenue, not just sessions.

02

Webmasters and developers

You implement tags and events, and want a setup that's correct, documented and keeps working when the site changes.

03

Founders and managers

You want a handful of numbers you trust, and to know which questions to ask your agency or your team.

02

What you learn

The programme

Six modules: first decide what you want to measure, then set it up properly, and finally read and use the numbers.

Module 01

Measurement plan and key events

Starting from your business goals: which actions count, which events you need for them, and how to avoid measuring everything while knowing nothing.

Module 02

Setting up GA4

Property and data streams, events and key events, e-commerce tracking, cross-domain measurement and filtering out internal traffic. The settings that make the difference later on.

Module 03

Google Tag Manager

Tags, triggers and variables, the data layer, and testing in preview mode before you publish anything. That keeps your measurement manageable, without a developer for every change.

Module 04

Consent Mode v2 and privacy

Measuring within the GDPR: how Consent Mode v2 works, what happens when a visitor declines, and a first look at server-side tagging.

Module 05

Reports and explorations

Standard reports, explorations, funnels and segments: from raw data to an answer to your question. Plus the links with Google Ads and Search Console.

Module 06

Matomo as an option

When Matomo is a sensible alternative or addition, what works differently from GA4, and how to make that choice for your own organisation.

03

How it runs

Open or tailored

Two ways to take this training, both together with ClickTrust: we pool groups and trainers from both agencies.

Open training

Register on the calendar

Open trainings run on fixed dates in Brussels. You sign up individually or with a few colleagues, and learn alongside participants from other companies. Dates and registration are on the ClickTrust Academy calendar.

In-company tailored

Training for your own team

We tune the programme to your channels, your accounts and your goals, and run the training at your office or at ours in Brussels. Beforehand we go over your team's level and questions, so nobody sits through material they already know. You arrange that directly with Izoard. In a tailored training we start from your own GA4 property and Tag Manager container.

04

What you leave with

After the training

You leave with numbers you trust, and you know why.

Rather have your measurement set up or audited for you? Our Google Analytics agency does that for clients, server-side and within Consent Mode v2.

  • A measurement plan, from business goal to events and key events
  • A checklist, to audit your GA4 property and Tag Manager container
  • A way of working, to test and publish tags safely
  • A set of reports, that answer your team's questions

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Does the training cover Google Tag Manager too?

Yes. GA4 and Google Tag Manager go together: you learn to use tags, triggers, variables and the data layer, and to test changes in preview mode before publishing them.

Why is Matomo part of a GA4 training?

Because some organisations choose Matomo, for example for privacy reasons, or use it alongside GA4. We show what that involves, so you can make an informed choice.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. With Tag Manager you can do a lot without code. Where a developer is needed, for instance for the data layer, you learn exactly what to ask for.

Can we work with our own GA4 property?

In a tailored training, yes: we start from your own property and container, so you see right away what's in place and what's missing. In an open training we work with examples.
