What is a Measurement ID in GA4?

Measurement ID represents a data stream. It is a unique id that permits GA4 to collect data from a website after being inserted into the tracking code on your website.

If you are familiar with Universal Analytics (UA), a measurement ID is similar to a UA tracking ID.

The format of measurement ID is G-XXXXXXX.

How to get this GA4 ID?

Step 1:

Sign in with a Google Analytics account

Step 2:

Go to GA4 Property > Click on the ‘Admin’ button at the bottom-left corner.

If you are using Google Tag Manager (GTM) for website tracking setup then you require a measurement Id to create a GA4 event tag. And before creating a GA4 event tag, you need to create a configuration tag. Then this measurement ID is inserted into the configuration tag. 

Sounds a bit confusing… Isn’t it?

However, you can automate this process with Tagmate. Tagmate automatically creates a configuration tag and sets it up with a GA4 event tag.
