What is Google Analytics (GA)?

Universal Google Analytics is set to be deprecated at July 1, 2023 and will no longer process data. Please update your Google Analytics tag to version 4.

Google Analytics is a free tool provided by Google. This tool allows you to view the most visited pages on your site in real-time, understand how the user browses through it, and get immediate reports on user behavior.

Gmail is required to use the tool.

The GA is a great ally of the marketing and events department because it is possible to verify in real-time the geographical location of the user, the length of retention on the site, the most visited pages among other information.
