  • Among the many positive impacts of GA, the most important is that it can assist businesses in tracking and measuring the return on investment (ROI) of their online initiatives, allowing them to deploy resources more efficiently.
  • It can help organizations better understand their target audience's demographics, preferences, behaviors, and requirements.
  • One of the negative impacts I felt was that too much data and information can overwhelm organizations, making it difficult to focus on the most important and actionable insights.
  • One of other negative impacts was that it has the potential to divert firms' attention away from their basic beliefs or mission, causing them to pursue numbers that are not in line with their goals.

  • The standard version of Google Analytics can usually bring customers a significant ROI because the investment is minimal. In some cases, they can recoup the cost of the implementation consulting in 1 to 6 months.
  • For our business, the volume of implementation of Google Analytics is low compared to other services since there are many competitors in the market now. In real terms, it can bring a minimum of 10% of the income for the year to a consultant.
  • With the change to GA4, many companies in the market will have to redo their implementation with universal analytics and previous versions. For current users, it will be a challenge to adapt. Still, suppose they do it in the right way. In that case, it could bring even more significant benefits due to the specifications that they will be able to make in the attributes of the events and to be able to measure their applications in a better way.
  • In terms of applications, with GA4, they are attacking a market that they could not achieve in the best way with Firebase. They could potentially be a higher ROI for having the information of websites and apps centralized.
