How to build session attribution for GA4 data

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) offers powerful insights, yet its built-in attribution reports might not fully align with your organization's specific needs. BigQuery provides the flexibility to customize session attribution models, enabling you to precisely assign credit to the traffic channels driving conversions.

The Benefits of BigQuery for Attribution Analysis

  • Tailored Models: Refine attribution logic to reflect your unique business requirements, going beyond the limitations of GA4's standard models.

  • Granular Analysis: Leverage the full breadth of your GA4 data within BigQuery to conduct comprehensive, in-depth attribution analysis.

Key Steps for Building Session Attribution in BigQuery

  1. Data Export: Ensure seamless integration of GA4 data into a dedicated BigQuery dataset.

  2. Sessionization: Construct a SQL query to group individual GA4 events into cohesive user sessions.
