Feeling swamped by data and not sure where to start?
I’ve audited over 100 Google Analytics 4 accounts, and I’ve found a secret: custom dashboards are huge time savers.
They turn heaps of data into clear, simple insights.
Let me show you how to create your own.
Why You Need a GA4 Dashboard
Sifting through endless reports is a headache. A custom dashboard puts all your important metrics in one place. It’s like having a control panel for your website’s performance.
How to Create Your Google Analytics 4 Dashboard
- Log In to Google Analytics
Open your GA4 account. If you don’t have one yet, you’ll need to set it up first. - Go to the Reports Section
On the left side menu, click on “Reports.” - Customize Your Reports
At the top right, you’ll see a button that says “Customize Report.” Click it. - Choose Your Metrics
Select the data that’s important to you. This could be page views, user engagement, conversion rates—you name it. - Add Dimensions
Want to see how different groups behave? Add dimensions like age, location, or device type. - Organize Your Dashboard
Drag and drop your widgets to arrange them. Make it easy on the eyes. - Save Your Dashboard
Click “Save” to keep your custom setup. - Name Your Dashboard
Give it a name that makes sense, like “Monthly Overview” or “Key Metrics.”
Tips to Make the Most of Your Dashboard
