Project overview

Turning website activity into useful e-commerce insights

The GA4 reporting setup provides a clearer view of how visitors find and interact with the Funky Kittens website, allowing users, traffic, engagement, pages and events to be reviewed together.

For Funky Kittens, I used Google Analytics 4 to monitor website activity and e-commerce behaviour, with reporting covering users, engagement, events, traffic sources and page-level performance.

The supplied 28-day GA4 snapshot shows 918 active users, 892 new users, 1 minute 35 seconds average engagement time per active user and approximately 15K recorded events.

Acquisition reporting also makes it possible to compare channels such as organic search, direct traffic, Google CPC and social traffic, helping connect marketing activity with on-site behaviour.

What the reporting needed to show

  • Overall website users and new-user activity.
  • Engagement quality beyond basic traffic volume.
  • Event activity across the website.
  • Performance of important e-commerce pages.
  • Traffic acquisition across organic, paid and social channels.
My approach

How I use GA4 for e-commerce reporting

The reporting process combines audience activity, engagement, acquisition and page behaviour instead of looking at a single metric in isolation.

01 / Audience

User Analysis

Reviewing active and new users to understand the scale and composition of website activity.

02 / Acquisition

Traffic Sources

Comparing organic, direct, paid and social sources to understand how visitors reach the website.

03 / Behaviour

Pages & Engagement

Reviewing page activity, users, engagement and bounce-rate context across important website pages.

04 / Events

Event Reporting

Using GA4 event activity to build a fuller picture of how visitors interact with the e-commerce website.

What I analyse

The GA4 signals used to understand website performance

Useful analytics comes from combining user, engagement, acquisition, page and event data rather than relying on one number alone.

Audience

Active & New Users

User metrics help show the scale of website activity and how much of that traffic is coming from new visitors.

Engagement

Engagement Time

Average engagement time adds behavioural context beyond traffic volume alone.

Events

Website Interaction Activity

Event reporting helps quantify the actions taking place across the e-commerce website.

Pages

Page Performance

Page-level reporting helps identify where visitors are spending time within the website journey.

Acquisition

Traffic Source Comparison

Organic, direct, paid and social channels can be compared to understand where activity is coming from.

Context

Period-over-Period Change

Comparison data helps show whether core website metrics moved up or down versus the preceding period.

Evidence

The supplied dashboard shows website activity, page performance, acquisition sources, new versus returning users and event reporting in one GA4 view.

Traffic insights

Understanding where website activity comes from

The acquisition cards in the supplied report show several meaningful sources, including Google organic, direct, Google CPC, Facebook social and Instagram social.

Google / Organic

The largest visible first-user source in the snapshot, with 403 active users shown.

Direct Traffic

Direct / none contributed 302 active users in the visible first-user source report.

Google / CPC

Paid Google traffic contributed 128 active users in the visible acquisition card.

Facebook / Social

Facebook social traffic appears as a measurable acquisition source in the GA4 snapshot.

Instagram / Social

Instagram social traffic is also visible, helping separate social acquisition by platform.

Channel Comparison

Reviewing these sources together helps identify which channels are contributing website activity.

Key takeaways

What this GA4 analytics case study demonstrates

The reporting view shows how e-commerce analytics can bring user, engagement, acquisition and behavioural data together for practical analysis.

  • Active users and new users help show the scale of website activity over a defined period.
  • Engagement time adds behavioural context that traffic counts alone cannot provide.
  • Event reporting helps quantify interactions occurring across the website.
  • Page-level reports highlight where visitors are spending time within the e-commerce journey.
  • Acquisition reports make organic, paid, direct and social traffic easier to compare.
  • GA4 reporting becomes more useful when analysed alongside advertising and conversion-tracking data.
