Siteimprove vs. GA4

Google's latest update to their analytics suite, Google Analytics 4 (GA4), includes sweeping changes that will impact your digital strategy. That's where Siteimprove comes in. Unlock powerful insights into visitor behavior, intuitive dashboards, and easy-to-use reporting. We’re an all-in-one analytics partner, helping you make the most out of your data. 

Let’s talk

Understand the ‘why’

Hard numbers are all well and good. But your funnel comes from sampled data. Our tools put the ‘why’ behind your data, so you can spend more time on business decisions – and less combing through raw analytics.

Know your target audience inside and out

Our Behavior Map feature helps you identify successes and shortcomings. Get a clear, visual, page-level understanding of how your visitors act on your page. Set objectives that respond to your customers’ real-time actions.

Personalized customer support

All our customers get a personal touch. We’re responsive when your needs change, and our implementation team provides customized onboarding, migration, training, and support from day one.

A easy-to-use interface

We’ve designed a tool that’s easy to navigate with prioritized recommendations on how to optimize your site. In short, that means your marketing team won’t have to learn BigQuery or SQL to get the data you need. Don't believe us? G2 users have found that Siteimprove was easier to use than GA4.

Event tracking and goals

Siteimprove Analytics isn’t just event-based like GA4: it’s both event and goal-based. Blending both forms of tracking not only helps you capture major website events, but lets you adjust your goals retroactively while you drive your bottom line. And that means you can focus on data-driven improvements where they count.

House your data, today and for the future

Data is modeled differently between UA and GA4 and can’t be migrated between updates. This means you’ll be losing your historic UA data no matter what platform you use–whether that’s GA4 or Siteimprove. But, if you’re already starting from scratch with new data and a new tool, choosing Siteimprove gives you a solid foundation for your new strategy. We’ll house your data (and make it work harder) for your next step in the journey.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance

We’ve designed Siteimprove Analytics and our included data flows to be GDPR-compliant. While GA4 features more safeguards around IP address processing and third-party data than UA, it’s not considered fully compliant with all EU data privacy regulations by numerous European data protection authorities.
