Common Mistakes to Avoid When Using GA4 Parameters

Common mistakes to avoid when using GA4 parameters include:

  • Sending duplicate events due to not tracking state changes: If a user repeatedly triggers an action (e.g., clicking "add to cart" multiple times), failing to track state changes can cause GA4 to count each click as a separate event, inflating metrics inaccurately.

  • Incorrect event setup and inconsistent naming: Using unclear, inconsistent, or creative event names can confuse data analysis. Events should have clear, concise names that accurately describe the action.

  • Not including all necessary parameters: Omitting important parameters (like currency or purchase value) in some events but not others leads to incomplete data and inaccurate reporting.

  • Not registering custom event parameters as custom dimensions: Sending parameters without configuring them in GA4 means the data won't be available in reports.

  • Mismatch between parameter scope in GA4 and tagging tools: The parameter scope set in GA4 must match what is configured in Google Tag Manager or gtag.js to ensure proper data collection.

  • Ignoring data retention settings: Using default data retention can cause loss of important historical data, affecting long-term analysis.

  • Failing to verify domain: Not verifying your domain can lead to inaccurate data collection and security risks.

  • Misconfigured tag setup or data layer timing issues: These can cause event parameters to not appear in GA4 reports.

To avoid these mistakes, ensure you:

  • Track state changes to prevent duplicate events.

  • Use consistent, clear event names.

  • Include all relevant parameters for each event.

  • Register custom parameters as custom dimensions in GA4.

  • Match parameter scopes between GA4 and tagging tools.

  • Adjust data retention settings according to your needs.

  • Verify your domain properly.

  • Check tag setup and data layer timing carefully.

Following these best practices will help maintain accurate, reliable GA4 data and improve your analytics insights.
