Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Setup Complet
Step 1 : Installation GA4
Option A : Google Tag Manager (Recommandé)
1. Créer GTM account : tagmanager.google.com
2. Installer GTM snippet sur site (dans <head>)
3. Ajouter GA4 tag dans GTM
4. Avantage : Facile switch tracking sans code changes
Option B : GA4 Tracking Code Direct
<!– Dans <head> –>
<script async src= »https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-XXXXXXXXXX »></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag(‘js’, new Date());
gtag(‘config’, ‘G-XXXXXXXXXX’);
</script>
Step 2 : Goals Configuration (Conversions)
Objectifs essentiels à tracker :
1. Lead Form Submission (Principal KPI)
Admin → Events → Create event
Event name: « form_submit »
Condition: page_title contains « contact » OR « devis »
Mark as conversion: YES
2. Product View (E-commerce Intent)
Event: « view_item »
Condition: page contains « /product/ »
3. Add to Cart
Event: « add_to_cart »
Condition: button click contains « panier »
4. Purchase (Revenue)
Event: « purchase »
Condition: transaction tracking on checkout
5. Newsletter Signup
Event: « signup »
Condition: newsletter form submit
6. PDF Download
Event: « download »
Condition: click on PDF link
7. Video Watch
Event: « video_start »
Condition: video player starts
Step 3 : Segments par Source
Segment 1 : Organic Traffic Only
Dimension: Default Channel Group
Condition: equals « Organic Search »
Segment 2 : Organic High-Intent
Conditions:
– Channel = « Organic Search »
– Landing page contains « /product » OR « /pricing »
Segment 3 : Organic with Conversions
Conditions:
– Channel = « Organic Search »
– Event: conversion = yes
Segment 4 : Organic Long-Tail (High Engagement)
Conditions:
– Channel = « Organic Search »
– Session duration > 3 minutes
Segment 5 : Organic Mobile vs Desktop
Duplicate segment above, then add:
– Device type = « mobile » OR « desktop »
Step 4 : UTM Parameters (Campaign Tagging)
Structure UTM Standard :
utm_source : Source initial (google, newsletter, twitter)
utm_medium : Type interaction (cpc, organic, email, social)
utm_campaign : Campaign name (spring_promo, product_launch)
utm_content : Variation tested (button_red vs button_blue)
utm_term : Keyword (optionnel, auto-filled paid search)
Example URL :
utm_source=newsletter
&utm_medium=email
&utm_campaign=august_launch
&utm_content=article_link
Best Practices :
- Use lowercase (utm_source, not utm_Source)
- Consistent naming (no « SEO » vs « seo » mixture)
- Document UTM naming convention (spreadsheet)
Google Search Console (GSC) : Organic Monitoring

- Healthy trend: +20-30% monthly
- If declining: Pages de-ranking or less visibility

- Definition: Users clicked site from SERP
- Healthy trend: Proportionate impressions growth
- If clicks < impressions: CTR declining (title/meta weak)
Metric 3 : Average Position
- Definition: Ranking position average
- Target: <15 (first SERP page)
- Track: Weekly for trend spotting
Metric 4 : CTR (Click-Through Rate)
- Definition: Clicks ÷ Impressions
- Target: 3-5% (industry avg 2.1%)
- If low: Rewrite title/meta (make compelling)
- If high: Expectation mismatch (adjust title/meta)
