Product Overview

GA4 is the default website analytics platform for real estate sites. Unlike Universal Analytics (sunsetted in 2023), GA4 is event-based, privacy-compliant, and integrates natively with Google Ads for conversion tracking. Every real estate agent running paid traffic should configure GA4 with lead-form conversion events at minimum. The learning curve is real — GA4's report structure diverges substantially from the old Universal Analytics — but the tooling is free and irreplaceable.
