What are GA4 comparisons and when to use them?

ROI answers

GA4 comparisons allow you to analyse performance differences between distinct segments of your website data, providing insights into how different user groups behave. As of early 2026, these comparisons go beyond simple date ranges, offering granular analysis to optimise your marketing spend.

  • Segment Overlap: Identify how different audience segments intersect – for example, comparing users from Facebook ads versus Google Search.
  • Custom Dimensions & Metrics: Compare performance based on your own defined data points, like customer lifetime value or product category.
  • Predictive Metrics Comparison: Now features the ability to compare predicted churn rates or purchase probability between segments.
  • Automated Insights: GA4 automatically highlights statistically significant differences in performance, saving you time.

In 2026, current systems include increased privacy regulations in Australia, meaning GA4’s comparison features are vital for understanding performance *without* relying on individual-level data. This is particularly useful for businesses operating across multiple states, allowing you to identify regional performance variations and tailor marketing campaigns accordingly. Understanding these nuances is crucial for maximising ROI on your digital marketing efforts, especially with the increasing cost of advertising.
