You'll learn how to leverage Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Google Tag Manager (GTM), and Looker Studio to build a complete analytics ecosystem that captures accurate data, attributes performance correctly, and communicates insights that move businesses forward. You'll start by mastering GA4 implementation through Google Tag Manager, learning how to govern containers, design scalable event tracking frameworks, and configure the data layer for clean, reliable data collection. You'll establish the professional standards that separate trustworthy analytics from fragile, inconsistent setups. Next, you'll dive into e-commerce measurement and campaign attribution.
