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 Ensure that you haven't reached the limit and, if necessary, remove any unnecessary or outdated connections to free up space for the missing accounts.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.

GA4 showing 2 versions of my homepage
When my website Custom Made Casino switched from universal analytics to GA, i have noticed that now in the behavior section it is showing 2 versions of my homepage which I feel may be impacting seo. It is showing the main url which we use for everything, https://custommadecasino.com/ , and it is showing https://custommadecasino.com/index.php?route-common/home. This was never the case with universal. Does anyone know if this is a problem and if so, how do i fix it so that our proper homepage is what is indexed?

We've had 50% drop in Google and Direct traffic post June Google update. Why would direct suddenly plummet as well? Could it be something with Google tag manager or our new cookie policy and cookie management system? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am a disabled person and trying to figure out what is going on with our site

Will changing the property from http to https in Google Analytics affect main unfiltered view?
I set my client up with an unfiltered view in Google Analytics. This is the one with historical data going back for years, so I don't want to do anything that will affect this view. Recently, the website moved from HTTP to HTTPS. There's a setting for the property that will allow me to change the property name to https://EXAMPLE.com and change the default URL to https://EXAMPLE.com. Questions: 1. If I change the property name and the default URL, will this somehow affect my unfiltered view in a way that I'll lose historical data or data moving forward? 2. I have heard that changing the default URL to HTTPS will help me avoid a common problem others have experienced (where they lose the referrer in Google Analytics and a bunch of their sessions go to direct / other). Is this true?

Direct Traffic from Ashburn, VA
We've seen a huge spike in traffic form Ashburn, VA every Monday. It's wrecking our analytics. I don't want to create a filter based on location because we should receive legitimate traffic from that location. I see there are a few other identifiers that make me think I could add a filter for just those items (iOS 5, Safari). Does anyone have a current best-practice for this type of problem? Tx!

Why is my direct traffic down DRASTICALLY?
I have been seeing a trend for a while that is intesifying. My direct traffic numbers are down A LOT. We are not down 50% to LY (in actual number not just percentage of traffic) I am trying to understand what could be the causes of this issue. I was considering simply bigger meaner competition, but I actually perform decently on my returning customers. Also my performance on my brand keyword is more inline with my current trend so I would except these KW to do equally as bad if the actual brand/store was the issue. The more surprising even, is the fact that I can trace back the start of the trend exactly to the day. Overnight on Sept 22 LY direct traffic went down 30% (to LY) when it was trending UP 20-25%(to LY) before. Now, we did do a redesign of the website on May 2011 (4 months before the drop), and did change host Oct 2011 (a couple weeks after the start of the trend). Do you have any clue as to why this could be happening? Did GA start tracking direct traffic differently?

Why does Google Analytics think PPC traffic is organic?
I have a bastard of a problem... Google Analytics is incorrectly tracking PPC traffic as SEO which is screwing up all my reporting . I don't care for rankings, I care for actual SEO traffic and I can't be sure that what i am seeing is correct which is driving me nuts. Any ideas?
