Time is running out for your web analytics upgrade!

This means you need to migrate to Google Analytics 4 (GA4) before July 2023, at the latest. The sooner the better. Many of our clients have already completed their migration to GA4. They have seen this necessary migration task as an opportunity to level up their digital analytics game. They are running GA3 in parallel with GA4 whilst taking advantage of the new GA4 features, which may also be relevant to you. They will also be able to conduct historical data comparisons using GA4 data after July 2023.

Aceik offers a service to migrate and upgrade your existing Google Analytics users to GA4. But more than this - we will deliver you a best-in-class digital analytics measurement and reporting capability. This work will enable you to capture business-critical digital metrics, expand your reporting capability, re-engage your business stakeholders around the digital insights you can provide, and improve your digital governance and management framework.
