I need a recommendation for an up-to-date introductory GA4 course that covers the essentials. I don’t aim to master the platform fully, but I want enough understanding to generate straightforward reports. My primary goal is to use GA4 in order to track and assess how social media posts increase website visits. Additionally, a friend recently launched a site with very low traffic and is now active on social media, hoping to measure the impact of these efforts. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
hey oliver, i tried a free ga4 course that breaks down basics in bite-sized vids. its simple and focuses on real social media tracking examples. might be a neat, low-key way to get started. cheers!
hey, try googles free ga4 tutorials. they cover basics and its updated for social media tracking. works well for beginners and is pretty straightforward- not too heavy info. good luck!
I recently completed a concise GA4 course on Skillshare that focused on the essentials of reporting, including practical examples on social media traffic tracking. This course was particularly beneficial as it combined clear tutorials with hands-on exercises that reinforced the concepts in a real-data environment. The instructor explained how to navigate the interface and create customized reports, which significantly built my understanding. For beginners looking to generate straightforward reports without getting bogged down in technical details, this course proved to be a valuable and directly applicable resource.
Hey Oliver, I’m really glad you brought this up since I was also on the hunt for a good starting point for GA4 recently! One thing that worked for me was diving into some of the in-depth practical tutorials on YouTube that focus not only on the basics but actually walk through real-world social media tracking scenarios. I remember finding a particular channel that did breakdowns of using GA4 for monitoring website visits from posts, which felt super relevant. I also peeked at a beginner course on a platform like Udemy when I was starting out—what I loved was how they used simple examples and interactive segments to make concepts clear. Have you ever tried any online courses that mix video content with hands-on tutorials? It would be cool to compare notes and see if anyone else here has come across something similarly helpful. What kind of social media platforms are you using the most?
