GA4 account & property not showing in traffic property setup list.
-
Hi there,
I've connected multiple client accounts to GA4 already, but three of our accounts that we have administrator rights to in GA4 are not showing up in our selectable accounts/properties list when logged in via Moz to add to the traffic settings area.
Anyone else have this issue and find a fix?
-
@ajrunthakurseo it was Moz/Google API related and from what this thread mentions it sounds like a fix has been deployed.

Anyone else have this issue and find a fix?I understand the issue you're facing with the three client accounts not showing up in the selectable accounts/properties list in Moz when trying to add them to the traffic settings area. This could be caused by a few different factors, and I'll provide some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the problem:
Check Permissions: Ensure that you have the correct permissions in Google Analytics for the accounts you're trying to access via Moz. Make sure you have at least "Read & Analyze" access to the accounts in question.
Verify Data Sharing Settings: Confirm that data sharing settings are properly configured in Google Analytics for the accounts that are missing in Moz. In the Google Analytics admin settings, check the "Data Sharing Settings" under the "Account Settings" section, and ensure that sharing with third-party applications like Moz is allowed.
Refresh and Reauthorize: Sometimes, connections between Moz and Google Analytics might encounter hiccups. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the Google Analytics account in Moz. This action can refresh the connection and reauthorize the access.
Check Account Limit in Moz: Moz might have limitations on the number of Google Analytics accounts you can connect. Ensure that you haven't reached the limit and, if necessary, remove any unnecessary or outdated connections to free up space for the missing accounts.
Review GA4 Property Settings: Double-check that the missing GA4 properties have been properly set up and activated in Google Analytics. Also, ensure they are visible in the GA4 interface itself.
I hope these steps help you in resolving the issue. If you need any further assistance, feel free to ask!

@Kateparish This was not the case since it was Moz/Google API related.

I have 3 GA4 accounts that are not showing up in Moz. I have checked permissions and refreshed browser, but they are still not showing up. Moz support said they are aware of the issue and working on a fix. In the meantime, I can invite my personal business email in as an admin on the remaining Analytics accounts and connect to GA4 via Moz through my personal Google account to scrape the remaining accounts.
Yep this is the fix for right now.

Even if you are an administrator in GA4, it sounds like you might be having a permissions problem. At the account, property, and data stream levels, make sure that all rights, including "Edit," are enabled. If the problem continues, a bug might be the cause. The best course of action in this situation might be to contact Moz support. They might have to upgrade their systems to work with GA4 more effectively. Just keep in mind that as GA4 is still very new, certain integrations may still need some work.

So this was something I figured out, but then had support verify. Apparently there's a fix coming, but for anyone that has more than 20 GA4 accounts in their Google Analytics account, Google will only scrape 20 accounts, leaving many off (especially if you're an agency like us).
I ended up inviting my personal business email in as an admin on the remaining Analytics accounts and connecting to GA4 via Moz through my personal Google account to scrape the remaining accounts.
Not an ideal solution, but hopefully this helps others until there's a fix.

@luminusagency It sounds like you might be facing a permissions issue, even if you are an admin in GA4. Ensure all permissions, including "Edit," are enabled across all levels - account, property, and data streams. If the issue persists, you might be encountering a bug. In this case, reaching out to Moz support might be the next best step. They might need to update their systems to better interface with GA4. Remember, GA4 is relatively new, and integrations might still need ironing out the kinks.

What Exactly is traffic lift?
Under the keyword gap analysis under the competitive analysis report, there is a mention of traffic lift and it provides a number. Does the number represent the number of users or the number traffic to expect for that term? Or is it the positions?

If website users don't accept GDPR cookie consent, does that prevent GA-GTM from tracking pageviews and any traffic from that user that would cause significant traffic decreases?
I've been doing a lot research on GDPR impact and implementation with GTM-GA for clients, but it's been 12 months since GDPR has gone live I haven't found anything on how GA traffic has been impacted if users don't accept cookie consent. However, I'm personally seeing GA accounts taking huge losses in traffic since implementing GDPR cookie solutions (because GTM/GA tags aren't firing until cookies are accepted). Is it common for websites to see significant decreases in traffic due to too many users not accepting cookie consent? Are there alternative solutions to avoid traffic loss like that and still maintain GDPR compliance? It seems to me that the industry underestimated how many people won't accept cookie consent. Most of the documentation and articles around GDPR's start (May 2018) didn't foresee or cover that aspect properly, everything seems to be technically focused with the assumption that if implemented properly most people would accept cookie consent, but I'm personally not seeing that trend and it's destroying GA data (lost traffic, minimal source attribution, inaccurate behavior data, etc). Thanks.

UTM Links Showing Up as Separate Pages in Google Analytics
Hey everyone, I was just looking at landing pages in Google Analytics, and in addition to just the URL of the landing page, the UTM links are being listed as separate pages. Is this normal? I anticipated seeing the landing page URL and then using the secondary dimension to see source/medium. If this isn't normal, what would I check next?

Google Analytics Goal/Event/SOMETHING to show only Wordpress "Posts", not pages, etc
Hi all, Our site is build on Wordpress and formerly the post URL's had the typical date format at the beginning. This made it easy for me to look at, for example, all search traffic to the blog. I would just view URL's containing /2014/ and /2015/ and boom. We have since removed the dates from the URL's with proper redirects etc, which is great, but now I can't figure out a way to look at ONLY the blog in GA. I like to track a KPI of 'search visits to blog posts' and I can't figure out how to now. Can I set up a GA event that only fires when the post type template for blog posts loads? Some other solution? I'm lost here, and there's gotta be a good way to do it...

Localhost:4444 Showing Up in Google Analytics
Hello All, Lately in my Google Analytics account I have noticed a referral source labelled: localhost:4444 The number of visits is really high from this source, but I have no idea (no clue!) what it actually means. Can anyone shed some light on what this is about? Should I be creating some sort of filter to screen out this as a referral source (assuming it is not legitimate)? Many thanks in advance. Cheers!

Stats show /blog/wp-cron.php at the top. What is it?
Hi, I have worked with websites for years but have no clue when it comes to Wordpress. We have our main website and then a Wordpress blog running in a subfolder that is only about a year old. The blog has only 7 posts so you can see how small it is vs main website with 200 pages. Usually our main index page of the site is at the top of the stats with the most views and this page /blog/wp-cron.php is about 30% lower. Now suddenly over the last month this page has jumped to the top and accessed almost as much as the home page of the site. We took a big hit with the latest Google Update so we are tyring to determine if there is anything technical in our site that has caused an issue. Thanks in advance Force7

Should you get a new Google Analytics account if your site has a new domain after a site redesign/new development?
We recently developed a new site for a client and they have opted to move forward with a domain change. Should we create a new Google Analytics account for the new site?
