Google Analytics 4 Migration: The Complete 2025 Checklist

By Track Masters Team•November 10, 2025•10 min read

GA4 Is Now Your Only Option

Universal Analytics is gone. If you haven't fully migrated to GA4, you're flying blind. But GA4 alone isn't enough — its attribution model is session-based and doesn't give you the granular click-level data you need to optimize paid campaigns.

The winning stack is GA4 for site behavior data + ClickMagick for click-level attribution. Together, they give you a complete picture of your marketing funnel.

The Migration Checklist

1. Set up GA4 property and data streams. 2. Configure conversion events (not goals). 3. Enable Google Signals for cross-device tracking. 4. Set up BigQuery export for raw data access. 5. Integrate ClickMagick tracking links for all paid traffic. 6. Verify data parity between GA4 and your ad platforms.

Get the full tracking stack working together. Add ClickMagick to your GA4 setup for complete attribution coverage.
