1️⃣ GA4 Attribution Updates

channels that can receive credit

Total konversi dari Facebook Ads kecil banget di Google Analytics? Bisa jadi kerena Attribution Settings di Google Analytics 4.

Minggu lalu Google melakukan pembaruan untuk Attribution Setting di GA4, di mana sekarang bisa memilih bagaimana logic untuk memberikan credit ke marketing channels;

  • Google paid channels: Only Google Ads paid channels can receive conversion credit.
  • Paid and organic channels: Paid and organic channels are eligible for conversion credit, but only credit assigned to Google Ads channels will appear in your Google Ads accounts.
Untuk melihat setting ini, buka menu the Admin > Attribution settings di Google Analytics 4.

2️⃣ Why Does Page Performance Matter?

Kurang lebih 2 tahun lalu Google memperkenalkan Core Web Vital sebagai salah satu ranking factor di SEO, including detailed report in Search Console.

Berapa besar pengaruhnya ke bisnis? Google berhasil melakukan studi dengan beberapa brands around the world untuk mejawab pertanyaan ini:

  • When a site meets the Core Web Vitals thresholds, research showed that users were 24% less likely to abandon page load.
  • With each 100ms reduction in Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), the web conversion rate for Farfetch.com increased by 1.3%.
  • Reducing Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) by 0.2 led Yahoo! JAPAN to a 15% increase in page views per session, 13% longer session durations, and a 1.72 percentage point decrease in bounce rate.
  • Netzwelt.de improved Core Web Vitals and saw advertising revenues increase by 18% and page views by 27%.
  • Reducing CLS from 1.65 to 0 significantly uplifted domain rankings globally for redBus.com.

4️⃣ Gen Z (18-24) Lebih Suka Baca Berita di Socmed

Thumbnail switching can be stressful and a very manual process? Say no more!

Minggu lalu Youtube mengumumkan fitur A/B Testing akan tersedia di Youtube Studio. Fitur ini membantu creators untuk menggunakan thumbnails yang berbeda di video mereka.

Beberapa creators sudah mendaptkan akses ke fitur baru ini, dan akan dirilis 100% oleh Google tahun depan.
