Why Should Startups Use Google Analytics 4?
GA4 is ideal for startups because it’s free, tracks user behavior across platforms, and gives actionable insights into engagement and conversion without requiring advanced setup.
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is a powerful tool for startups looking to understand how users interact with their brand across web and mobile platforms. Unlike Universal Analytics, GA4 tracks every user action as an event, allowing for more flexible and accurate reporting across devices.
For early-stage businesses, GA4 offers core advantages: it’s free, requires minimal setup, and includes built-in insights for engagement, retention, and monetization. As your startup scales, you can customize reports and track performance across different audience segments and channels without upgrading to a paid tool.
Gleam integrates seamlessly with GA4, making it easier to track the performance of giveaways, contests, and lead capture campaigns directly within your analytics dashboard. You’ll see which channels drive the most high-quality users — not just clicks — and how they interact with your campaigns.
