Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow: 4 Days Until UA Sunset
In four days - July 1, 2023, standard Universal Analytics properties will no longer be able to process new data.
June 27, 2023 Attention all Universal Analytics users: The sun is setting on this platform, and it's time (past time, really) to make the switch to Google Analytics 4. In four days - July 1, 2023, standard Universal Analytics properties will no longer be able to process new data.
What Happens in 4 Days?
You’ll still be able to access your standard Universal Analytics properties in your account, but only for historical reporting, and only for 365 days.
Report data and audience expansion features will be unavailable, and Universal Analytics-linked products will cease to receive data. Your current Google Ads audiences and conversions may also be impacted. This could result in campaign disruptions, so it is necessary to verify your setup to ensure optimal performance. For instance, you should shift your Google Ads campaigns that depend on Universal Analytics conversions to the corresponding conversions in Google Analytics 4. If you don’t make the necessary adjustments you will experience interruptions in your ad campaigns.
Don't risk losing valuable analytics information - make the move to Google Analytics 4 before the deadline to ensure seamless coverage. Don’t worry, you don’t have to go it alone. Our team is here to support you every step of the way.
