Quote of the episode from Stacey: "I was looking at the SEO for my site and one of the queries that came up was “I hate GA4” and it was hilarious"

Quote of the episode from Dan: "it probably took me longer than I'd care to admit to really understand GA4 well enough to realise that it's actually pretty good."

Quote of the episode from Dara: "the business is only just about starting to understand analytics in general and now they're being told there's this new version of all of that data."

This week Dan and Dara are joined by Stacey Harper, a fellow GA4 expert and trainer! They discuss war stories, hidden features and the huge importance of a migration strategy/plan for migrating to GA4. And remember, never ever push the 'UA events in GA4' button!

Stacey's website Sharper Digital is https://bit.ly/3fa9WaO where you'll find all her social links and details on her GA4 training.
