What's With All The 'Direct' Traffic In GA4? (Google Analytics)
If you're seeing an increase in the amount of direct or unattributable traffic and conversions being reported on your website through Google Analytics/GA4 or any other analytics platform, you're not alone.
What even if direct traffic and why are we seeing more of this than ever?

Well, things are changing that's for sure, but in this video, I'll be sharing a few things you can do to prepare for the upcoming changes and some of the most important things to be aware of going forward when it comes to direct traffic and marketing attribution.
