GA4: The SaaS Survival Guide

GA4 is event-based, which is good. But its default reports are e-commerce focused (Add to Cart, Checkout). For SaaS, you must override these with custom dimensions for things like 'Plan Type', 'Trial Status', and 'Workforce Size'.

Configuration Checklist

  • Enable User-ID tracking for cross-device consistency
  • Turn off 'Enhanced Measurement' for internal clicks to avoid noise
  • Create 'Audience Triggers' for high-value actions like 'Integration Connected'
