In short:

  1. The landing pages report crossed with Search Console remains the pivot of SEO analysis.
  2. Key events replace conversions and change how ROI is read.
  3. Free-form explorations let you rebuild content cohorts.

GA4 has a reputation for being unreadable. In reality, seven reports are enough to steer a site’s organic performance.

The fundamental reports

  • Landing pages with organic filter
  • Traffic acquisition by channel
  • Key events by entry page

Crossing with Search Console

The native GA4 and Search Console link adds queries to the dashboard. That is where you read the gap between impressions and sessions, in other words the untapped CTR potential.
