Google Analytics 4 upped its game with the introduction of eight new dimensions for paid and organic traffic sources:

  • Manual source.
  • Manual medium.
  • Manual source / medium.
  • Manual campaign name.
  • Manual campaign ID.
  • Manual term.
  • Manual content.
  • Manual source platform.

Offering deeper insights into user behavior and channel performance, these additional dimensions enable more effective content optimization. 

Although most would agree that GA4 has a long way to go until wins over fans of its predecessor, Universal Analytics, these new capabilities are certainly a start.
