   Channels

   Organic

Before you ask

Does it work with any GA4 property?

Yes: you connect your own property with the native GA4 connector; nothing is exported or copied.

I still have Universal Analytics habits: will the numbers match?

GA4 defines sessions and engagement differently from Universal Analytics; the report uses GA4’s definitions, which are the ones Google reports today.

Are the numbers the same as in GA4?

Yes, because the report reads the property live with Google's connector: same definitions, same timezone, same data. What changes is the arrangement, not the figures.

My key events have custom names. Will they show?

Yes. The conversion pages read the events you marked as key events in your property. If a chart expects an event you do not have, the setup guide shows how to swap it in two clicks.

Does it cover e-commerce?

The template includes an e-commerce page that reads GA4's purchase and item data when your property collects it. Without e-commerce tracking, that page stays empty and the rest works as normal.

The terms this report uses

• GA4 (Google Analytics 4)

  GA4 is the current generation of Google Analytics, built on an event model: every interaction, a page view, a click, a purchase, is an event with parameters.

• Sessions

  A session is a group of interactions one user has with a website within a period of time; in Google Analytics 4 it starts with a session_start event and ends after 30 minutes of inactivity.

• Active users

  Active users are the distinct users who had an engaged session on a website or app during the selected period in Google Analytics 4, or whose visit fired the first_visit or engagement_time event.

• Engagement rate

  Engagement rate is the percentage of sessions that were engaged sessions in Google Analytics 4: sessions that lasted longer than 10 seconds, produced a key event, or included at least two page or screen views.

• Key events

  Key events are the events in Google Analytics 4 that you mark as the ones that matter to the business: a purchase, a lead form, a sign-up, a call.

• Default channel group

  The default channel group is the set of rules Google Analytics 4 uses to sort traffic into channels such as Organic Search, Paid Search, Direct, Referral, Organic Social, Email and Cross-network, based on the source, medium and campaign of each session.

• Landing page

  A landing page is the first page a visitor sees in a session, the page that won the visit.
