Reporting Overview

The reports in Google Analytics 4 summarise how people find and use your website. Use them when you want a quick answer to a question like how many people visited this month and where they came from.

Before you read any figure, check which date range the report is set to, because every number depends on it. For a seasonal business, comparing a month with the same month last year gives a fairer picture than comparing two months in a row.

Before you finish
