Google Analytics 4 (GA4) may be the default analytics tool for many marketers, but is it the best choice for actionable insights and streamlined reporting? While GA4 offers basic reporting features, ASK BOSCO® takes digital marketing analytics to the next level, empowering businesses with advanced capabilities like omni-channel views, forecasting, and seamless data integration. Here’s why ASK BOSCO® is the smarter choice for data-driven decision-making.
ASK BOSCO®: Simplifying Your Marketing Insights
Full Data Control
ASK BOSCO® consolidates your marketing data into one easy-to-navigate platform. With omni-channel reporting views, there’s no need to log in to multiple accounts. All your data, from different platforms, is available in one place, giving you complete control and clarity.
Multi-Sale-Type Reporting
Unlike GA4, which locks you into a single data perspective, ASK BOSCO® lets you switch effortlessly between GA4, platform-specific, and attribution-based conversion data. This flexibility ensures you’re always seeing the metrics that matter most to your campaigns.
Automated Paid Media Imports
ASK BOSCO® automates the integration of key metrics—like impressions, clicks, and costs—from your paid media campaigns. It also seamlessly measures key performance indicators (KPIs) between imported media data and GA4 conversion data, providing a comprehensive view of campaign performance without manual calculations.
Save Time, Focus on Strategy
By consolidating your marketing data into one platform, ASK BOSCO® eliminates the need to run multiple reports or dig through cluttered dashboards. This streamlined approach saves time, so you can focus on optimizing your marketing strategy instead of piecing together data from different sources.
GA4: Falling Short on Advanced Analytics
While GA4 offers basic analytics capabilities, it lacks the advanced tools that modern marketers need to drive success. Here are some of the limitations of GA4:
Lost Opportunities for Optimization
GA4 doesn’t offer tools for budget optimization or campaign forecasting, leaving critical gaps in your decision-making process.
Limited Reporting Features
Multi-channel reporting is basic and doesn’t provide the depth required for comprehensive performance analysis.
Restricted KPI Measurement
GA4 includes limited built-in KPI metrics and doesn’t allow for custom metric creation, making it harder to tailor reports to your needs.
No Historical Data Access
If you need data from Universal Analytics, you’ll need to manage two separate accounts, adding unnecessary complexity to your workflows.
Time Wasting
To answer a single question, GA4 often requires running multiple reports, wasting valuable time that could be better spent elsewhere.
The Verdict: ASK BOSCO® for Smarter Decisions
ASK BOSCO® goes beyond basic analytics by offering advanced features that simplify marketing insights, save time, and enable smarter, data-driven decisions. From automated imports to omni-channel reporting and powerful forecasting tools, it provides everything Google Analytics 4 lacks—and more.
