User Analytics Basics

User Analytics uses GA4 (Google Analytics) data to help you analyze traffic sources, landing pages, and page transitions more intuitively than GA4. It is also useful for visualizing individual sessions in chronological order.

  • Improve overall website UI/UX: Understand how users move through your site so you can improve the UI/UX.

  • Optimize content: Improve content engagement and contribute to higher CVR.

  • Measure marketing effectiveness: Measure the impact of ad campaigns and use the results for improvement.

  • Evaluate A/B tests: Compare and analyze the performance of different page versions.

📌 To use User Analytics, you must first configure BigQuery export in GA4 and grant read access to the Amethyst service account.
