Integrate Google Analytics 4 with Data Octopus
Connect Google Analytics 4 to Data Octopus. Data from Google Analytics 4 flows into one product data model and powers segmentation and product feeds for 35+ ad channels.
What is Google Analytics 4?
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is Google's analytics tool that measures traffic and user behaviour in an online store with an event-based model. In e-commerce, GA4 records product views, add-to-carts, checkouts and purchases, broken down by traffic source and campaign.
Why does Google Analytics 4 data matter for product feeds?
GA4 shows how users react to a product before they buy. The e-commerce platform records only sales; GA4 adds data on interest and the purchase path:
Product page views, add-to-carts and checkouts started
Product conversion rate
Revenue and transactions by traffic source and campaign
Micro-conversions that signal a product's potential before its first sale
Without this data, a feed can't tell a product nobody views from a product that attracts traffic but doesn't convert.
How does Data Octopus use Google Analytics 4 data to build better feeds?
Data Octopus pulls data from GA4 and combines it with e-commerce platform, Google Ads, Meta Ads and margin data in one model at product and variant level. On that basis it:
Factors conversion, micro-conversions and interest into product segments, not just sales
Identifies high-potential products with strong engagement but low campaign exposure
Flags products that drive traffic without sales and drag campaign results down
Compares revenue reported in GA4 with e-commerce platform data so decisions rest on consistent numbers
Writes the results into custom labels and extra feed attributes
As a result, the feed reflects not only what has sold, but also what is likely to sell.
What data does Data Octopus get from Google Analytics 4?
Data Octopus connects to GA4 through the official Google Analytics API and pulls key e-commerce and traffic data into two tables: product data and overview data.
Product data
Product-level e-commerce events: view, add to cart, purchase.
Overview data
Overall traffic, session and conversion statistics.
Only these two reports are pulled. Events, traffic sources and audiences are not part of the pull.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is Google's analytics tool that measures traffic and user behaviour in an online store with an event-based model. In e-commerce, GA4 records product views, add-to-carts, checkouts and purchases, broken down by traffic source and campaign.
How do I use Google Analytics 4 data in a product feed?
Data Octopus pulls product-level data from Google Analytics 4 (e.g. views, add-to-carts, transactions, revenue) and writes the results into custom_label and extra feed fields. Campaigns in Google Ads and Meta Ads then split products by real performance, not just the catalogue.

How do I segment products using Google Analytics 4 data?
Most often by revenue, conversion rate, trend and share of sales. Data Octopus recalculates these metrics daily for every SKU, so products move between segments and campaign groups on their own.
