GA4 setup repeats for every client. Standardise the checklist, not the analyst's memory.
Client GA4 checklist
- Property structure agreed (single vs subproperties).
- Key events defined and documented.
- UTM conventions written down.
- Access for the team granted with least privilege.
- Baseline report template connected to Looker/Sheet/dashboard.
- QA hit recorded before first client report.
Productise it
Turn this into an onboarding task list inside your portal or CRM, same steps, every client.
Use this as a working checklist inside your team first. When the same steps repeat every week and spreadsheets start breaking, that is usually the moment to scope one founder-ready dashboard with the KPIs, cohorts and revenue signals your team actually uses as an owned system.
