5 mistakes turning your GA4 setup into a crime scene 🕵🏻‍♀️


Hi, Reader!
​
I've audited a lot of GA4 setups, and almost every one of them has the exact same problem underneath it — and it's never the one you'd expect.

I just released a new video walking through the 5 mistakes I find most often when auditing GA4 accounts for coaches and service providers — whether you set it up yourself, or paid someone off a site like Fiverr or Upwork to do it for you.

All of them doable in one sitting with zero custom coding or technical work needed...

Hi, Reader!If your feed looked like mine last week, you saw some version of "Claude is watermarking its text now," followed by a lot of speculation, a round of "I told you so" from folks who've been wary of AI all along, an equal round of "But the ideas are mine!" from the other direction, and a few people announcing they were switching tools.

(Seriously, reply and let me know) For most service providers, it's some version of "I think Instagram," "maybe it was a referral," or "someone probably saw my newsletter."
