By Alan Wolf, YSN
In her new bi-monthly series of AVB Marketing updates dubbed “Tech Tuesday,” Product GM Kate Morris has so far filled us in on email and SMS integrations with HUB and the addition of premium payment gateway Affirm to Alta360/Series 5 websites and higher.
In her latest installment, Morris brings BrandSource members up to speed on Google Analytics 4 (GA4), the next generation of Google’s website traffic measurement tool.

The updated analytics tool is currently in a trial phase with several pilot BrandSource members, but plans call for a rollout to all Alta dealers well in advance of Google’s July 1 deadline.
