In this model, every user interaction on the website will be recorded as a categorized to Automated event, Enhanced Measurement event, Custom event, and Recommended event allowing business owners to acquire a specific report on the data. 

3. Powered by AI and machine learning

With machine learning, business owners are given predictions or assumptions on the user’s behavior. This is specifically beneficial when users reject the use of cookies when visiting a site.

4. Personalize User Interface

Upon opening the Google Analytics 4, users are welcomed with an improved and easy to navigate user interface.

5. Provided New Integrations
