GA4 audit at analyst depth.
The 61-check audit a senior consultant would run on day one — Foundation, Data Accuracy, Measurement, Privacy & Security, Optimization. Run on demand, then re-checked every night so it never goes stale.
A proper GA4 audit is the part of every analytics engagement nobody does often enough. The reason is simple: it's unglamorous, time-intensive, and the ROI is invisible until something breaks. A senior consultant charges 10–20 hours against it. An in-house analyst puts it off for the quarter you need to run it in. Meanwhile the configuration rots — a tag update here, a CMS migration there, a new marketing hire adding conversion goals without a naming convention. Six months in, your GA4 property is carrying silent data quality debt that's compounding into every report. The audit surfaces all of it on the first run, then keeps watching every night so the next regression doesn't go six months without anyone noticing.
- Runs 61 automated checks across five weighted chapters: Foundation (10%), Data Accuracy (30%), Measurement (25%), Privacy & Security (20%), Optimization (15%). Produces a weighted health score out of 100.
- Critical cap on the score: any CRITICAL-severity finding locks the ceiling at 59, so the score honestly reflects that a single compliance gap outweighs a dozen optimization wins.
- Every finding includes the business impact in plain English, the exact GA4 admin menu path to the fix, and where relevant a code snippet or dataLayer push.
- Pro users get a Gemini-written executive summary, prioritized action plan, copy-paste code fixes per finding, and a chat panel to ask follow-up questions grounded in the audit.
- The full audit archives with its score, findings, and timestamp — the score-trend chart appears as soon as there are three audits to draw a line through.
Internal traffic filter not configured
Staff traffic from the office network and developer machines is polluting the same property as real visitor data. Expect 3–8% upward drift on sessions and downward drift on conversion rate. Bounce rate and session duration metrics are skewed on any page the team visits regularly.
In GA4 admin → Data Streams → [stream] → Configure tag settings → Define internal traffic, add your office IP range(s) and any known developer subnets. Then enable the "Filter internal traffic" option in Data Settings. Takes 5 minutes.
