Here’s how to leverage first-party data for sharper targeting in your marketing
It creates greater coherence in cross-channel attribution and can attribute conversions that would otherwise not be measurable. At the same time, it can improve your demographic data via Google Signals data and prepare you to use audiences based on first-party data across digital channels. In addition to these benefits, it also helps future-proof your tracking setup in light of the phasing out of cookies, which is knocking on the door from all marketing channels.
But now you might be thinking, what does it take to activate first-party data in GA4? The utilization of first-party data in GA4 requires some changes regarding consent collection as well as a minor configuration of GA4 and Google Ads. We break it down into three steps:
- Consent / Privacy Policy
Ensure that the necessary consents are collected and inform users about the data collection in your privacy policy. - GA4 Configuration
Under the management of your Google tags in GA4, enable the collection of user data. The actual data collection can happen automatically from a confirmation page or be more customized via JavaScript variables or specifying CSS selectors. - Link GA4 to the platform
The respective GA4 account must be linked to, for example, your Google Ads account.
We work extensively with first-party data in several contexts. Contact us if you would like to learn more about your opportunities to utilize or visualize your first-party data in GA4 or other platforms.
