ALERT: Google’s Universal Analytics is going away forever on July 1, 2024!

Have you made the switch to Google Analytics 4?

If your company is using Universal Analytics and you haven’t migrated to Google Analytics 4 (GA4), now is the time!

Google notified users that “on July 1st, 2024 all Universal Analytics properties will stop processing data. Google is strongly encouraging all users to make the switch to Google Analytics 4 as soon as possible.”

Here’s a little more about the changes you can expect with the transition from UA to GA4.

When will Universal Analytics be shut down for good? Will I lose my data???
July 1, 2024: All users, including those accessing 360 properties, will lose access to the Universal Analytics user interface and API starting on July 1, 2024. We know your data is important to you, and we recommend that you export your historical reports before this date.” eSage Group can help you with this process.
Is it too late to get an extension?

Those who applied for an extension have until July 1st, 2024 to stop using Universal Analytics. “360 Universal Analytics properties with a current 360 order (Google Analytics 4 or Universal Analytics) will receive a one-time processing extension ending on July 1, 2024. 360 Universal Analytics properties without a current 360 order (Google Analytics 4 or Universal Analytics) will be subject to downgrade to standard Universal Analytics properties, will not receive the extension, and will stop processing data on July 1, 2023.”
