Put everything into practice: set up or audit GA4 for a real website, track the actions that matter and write a one-page weekly report you could show a manager or client.

In this lesson you’ll learn to

  • Setup settings are checked and fixed
  • GA4 is installed once and verified
  • 2–4 key events are tracked and tested
  • One campaign is UTM-tagged across two channels
  • My report compares with the previous period
  • My report ends with one insight and one action

What to deliver

• Setup check: property settings (time zone, currency), single installation confirmed in Realtime, data retention extended, internal traffic filtered.

• Key events: 2–4 key events, how each is tracked, and a test screenshot from DebugView.

• UTM plan: tagged links for one campaign across at least two channels, recorded in a spreadsheet.

• Weekly report: users, sessions by channel, key events by channel and key event rate — compared with the previous period.

• Insight and action: one finding and the change you would make next week.

How it is reviewed

A strong project is accurate (settings and events really work), focused (only the events that matter) and actionable (the report ends with a clear next step).
