Though initial adoption of the new GA4 (Google Analytics 4) was slow, Google announced in March 2022 that it would be sunsetting GA3 by July 1, 2023. While existing data will still be available after that date, no new data will be collected, so all users of GA3 will have to transition to GA4. What does it mean for those of you on HubSpot's Web CMS? In October 2020, Google launched the most significant update to its popular analytics platform in over a decade. The new version, Google Analytics 4, integrates many features from Google Tag Manager and makes advanced customization easier, but it also makes a lot of basic tasks harder. Most significantly for basic implementations, GA4 implements event tracking (such as clicks) by default; with GA3, this required additional coding or the use of Tag Manager. While we recommend that HubSpot Marketing Hub Professional and Enterprise users rely on HubSpot Analytics reporting instead of using Google Analytics, some insights are easier to get from GA β mostly around organic search traffic β making it a useful additional tool. For Marketing Hub Starter users, GA is likely necessary since Starter only includes a standard web analytics dashboard with limited reporting dashboards available and no filtered analytics.
