# Analytics Insights
Operator skill for the Google measurement stack — GA4, GTM, Search Console, and BigQuery — driven directly from chat. Build a tracking plan, run reports, mark conversions, audit existing setup, and query the warehouse without leaving the conversation.
## Out of scope — defer to other skills
| Request | Send them to |
| --- | --- |
| Keyword research, AI-search visibility, full SEO audit | `seo-research` (HyperSEO toolkit — broader and richer than GSC for keyword work) |
| Google Ads campaign performance | `google-ads` (campaign-level) — but GA4-side conversion attribution lives here |
| Meta / Facebook ads metrics | `meta-ads` |
| Email program metrics | `email-lifecycle` (provider-side) |
GSC and HyperSEO overlap on search-performance data. Rule of thumb: use GSC here for *the user's own site's* impression / click / position data. Use HyperSEO (in `seo-research`) for keyword research, competitor data, AI-search visibility.
## Requirements
- **Hyper MCP installed and connected.** [https://app.hyperfx.ai/mcp](https://app.hyperfx.ai/mcp)
- **At least one of these connected** at [https://app.hyperfx.ai/apps](https://app.hyperfx.ai/apps):
- **Google Analytics** — GA4 reports, custom metrics / dimensions, key-event (conversion) management.
- **Google Tag Manager** — tag / trigger / variable / workspace / version management.
- **Google Search Console** — search-performance data, sitemaps, URL inspection.
- **BigQuery** — SQL queries against the GA4 export (or any other dataset).
If `google_analytics_ga4_reports_run`, `google_tag_manager_tags_manage`, `google_search_console_performance_get`, and `bigquery_execute_query` are all missing from the agent's tool list, stop and tell the user to enable the Hyper MCP and connect at least one of these integrations.
### How to run the tools in this skill
Every tool in this skill is named by its canonical tool name. Run it with the call your surface gives you:
| Surface | Find a tool | Run it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| MCP client (Claude, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT) | `search("<what you want to do>")`, then `describe("<name>")` | `call("<name>", {...})` |
| Hyper CLI | `hyperai search "<what you want to do>"`, then `hyperai describe <name>` | `hyperai call <name> --json '{...}'` |
If a tool is not found, its integration is not connected or not enabled for the workspace: stop and tell the user which integration to connect.
## Tool surface
| Group | Tools |
| --- | --- |
| GA4 — reporting | `google_analytics_ga4_reports_run`, `google_analytics_accounts_list`, `google_analytics_properties_list`, `google_analytics_properties_get` |

| BigQuery | `bigquery_execute_query`, `bigquery_insert_rows` |
## Critical rules
1. **GA4 property IDs — arg name differs by tool.** Three patterns: (a) Reporting tools (`run_ga4_report`, `get_property`) take `property_id="properties/123456789"`. (b) Create and list tools (`create_key_event`, `list_key_events`, `create_custom_dimension`, `list_custom_dimensions`, etc.) take `parent="properties/123456789"`. (c) Get/update/delete tools operate on a specific resource and take `name=` with the full resource path (e.g. `"properties/123456789/keyEvents/12345"`). All three need the `properties/` prefix in some form — passing a bare numeric ID silently fails. When in doubt, check the tool's schema for which arg is marked `required`.
2. **Date ranges are inclusive on both ends.** `start_date="2026-04-01"` and `end_date="2026-04-30"` returns 30 days, not 29. Same for relative dates: `7daysAgo` to `today` is 8 days, not 7.
3. **GA4 sampling kicks in above ~10M events.** For high-volume properties, the GA4 API silently samples results. If precision matters (board reporting, financial attribution), use the **BigQuery GA4 export** instead — see [`references/bigquery-ga4-export.md`](./references/bigquery-ga4-export.md).
4. **Conversions in GA4 are "key events".** GA4 renamed "conversions" to "key events" in 2024. The tools reflect this — use `google_analytics_key_events_create` to mark an event as a conversion. Don't get confused by older docs.
5. **GTM changes need a workspace + version + publish.** Tags / triggers / variables created in a workspace are *not live* until the workspace is committed to a new version and that version is published. Use `google_tag_manager_workspaces_manage` → modify → `google_tag_manager_versions_manage` (create) → publish.
6. **GSC data has a 2–3 day lag.** Don't query "yesterday" in GSC and expect data — query 3+ days back for stable numbers. GA4 has a 24-48h lag for some metrics.
7. **Apple Mail Privacy Protection inflates GA4 "engaged" sessions from email.** Don't trust email-driven engagement numbers in GA4 alone — cross-reference with the email provider's own click data.
## Workflow — pick the right path
The skill covers four distinct jobs. Pick first; the workflows are different.
| The user wants… | Path | Reference |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A report ("how did we do last month?") | Phase R | — |
| To set up tracking ("we need to measure X") | Phase T | [`references/ga4-tracking-plan.md`](./references/ga4-tracking-plan.md) |
| To audit existing GTM / GA4 ("why is conversion data wonky?") | Phase A | [`references/gtm-audit.md`](./references/gtm-audit.md) |
| Precise / unsampled / cross-source analysis | Phase B | [`references/bigquery-ga4-export.md`](./references/bigquery-ga4-export.md) |
### Phase R — Run a report (most common path)
**Warehouse option:** When the workspace has an analytics warehouse connection, discover its tables and schema and query them through `database_query`. Read Warehouse Data Status for the selected connection and report its last successful refresh; do not assume an hourly cache or unsampled data. Otherwise use `google_analytics_ga4_reports_run` for GA4 and `google_search_console_performance_get` for GSC. Keep account IDs, dates and metric definitions explicit.
1. **Confirm the property.** `google_analytics_accounts_list()` → `google_analytics_properties_list(filter="parent:accounts/<account_id>")`. Ask the user to pick if there are multiple. Save the `properties/<id>` for the rest of the conversation.
2. **Pick the date range.** Always confirm. "Last 30 days" is `start_date="30daysAgo"`, `end_date="yesterday"` (avoid `today` — partial-day data is unstable).
3. **Pick metrics + dimensions.** Don't blast 12 metrics × 6 dimensions in one report — the result is unreadable. Pick the 2–3 metrics that answer the user's question and the 1–2 dimensions that segment them meaningfully.
4. **Run the report.**
```
google_analytics_ga4_reports_run(
property_id="properties/123456789",
start_date="30daysAgo",
end_date="yesterday",
metrics=["activeUsers", "sessions", "conversions", "totalRevenue"],
dimensions=["sessionDefaultChannelGroup", "deviceCategory"],
)
```
5. **Present results as a table.** Always show the raw numbers alongside any interpretation. "Organic search drove 12,400 sessions (+18% MoM)" beats "organic was up."
6. **One follow-on if the data flags it.** If a metric stands out (e.g., conversion rate dropped 40% on mobile), run *one* targeted follow-up report — don't speculate.
#### Common GA4 metrics & dimensions
The GA4 API uses camelCase names. The most useful:
**Metrics:** `activeUsers`, `sessions`, `screenPageViews`, `bounceRate`, `engagementRate`, `averageSessionDuration`, `conversions`, `eventCount`, `totalRevenue`, `transactions`, `purchaseRevenue`, `userEngagementDuration`.
**Dimensions:** `country`, `city`, `deviceCategory`, `operatingSystem`, `browser`, `sessionDefaultChannelGroup`, `sessionSource`, `sessionMedium`, `sessionCampaignName`, `pagePath`, `eventName`, `date`, `hour`, `landingPage`.
For the full list, the user can browse the [GA4 Data API reference](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/api-schema).
### Phase T — Set up tracking
The GA4 API can create properties, data streams, key events, custom metrics, and custom dimensions — but it **can't deploy GTM tags into the page**. That step is GTM-side (or hard-coded in the site). The skill workflow:
1. **Tracking plan first.** Define what events you need to fire, where they fire, and which ones are conversions (key events). Full template in [`references/ga4-tracking-plan.md`](./references/ga4-tracking-plan.md).
2. **GA4-side setup** — create custom dimensions / metrics, mark key events:
```
google_analytics_custom_dimensions_create(
parent="properties/123456789",
parameter_name="plan_tier",
display_name="Plan Tier",
scope="EVENT",
)
google_analytics_key_events_create(
parent="properties/123456789",
event_name="purchase",
counting_method="ONCE_PER_EVENT",
)
```
3. **GTM-side setup** — create/update tags + triggers + variables in a workspace, then version + publish:
```
google_tag_manager_workspaces_manage(operation="create", account_id="...", container_id="...", name="purchase-tracking-v3")
google_tag_manager_tags_manage(operation="create", workspace_path="...", tag_definition={...})
google_tag_manager_triggers_manage(operation="create", workspace_path="...", trigger_definition={...})
google_tag_manager_variables_manage(operation="create", workspace_path="...", variable_definition={...})
google_tag_manager_versions_manage(operation="create", workspace_path="...", version_name="purchase-tracking-v3")
# then publish via the GTM UI or version operation
```
4. **Validate** — see Phase A.
### Phase A — Audit (the existing setup is broken or suspect)
Most "our analytics is wrong" complaints are one of:
| Symptom | Likely cause | How to confirm |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Conversion event not appearing in GA4 | Event firing in GTM but not reaching GA4 (wrong measurement ID, blocked by consent gate, ad blocker) | `google_analytics_ga4_reports_run` for `eventName=purchase` over the last 7d → if 0, check GTM |
| Conversion count wildly off | Event firing on every page (not just confirmation), or duplicate tags | Audit GTM tags via `google_tag_manager_tags_manage(operation="list")`, check for multiple tags firing on the same trigger |
| Revenue reported differently in GA4 vs the platform of record | Currency mismatch, refund handling, attribution window | Pull both side-by-side, look for refund / currency rows |
| Suddenly mobile traffic dropped to ~0 | Tag firing only on desktop trigger, or a recent GTM publish broke the mobile container | `google_tag_manager_versions_manage(operation="list")` to find recent publishes, diff with previous version |
| GSC clicks ≠ GA4 organic sessions | Always different — different definitions. Don't try to reconcile exactly. | Expected; document and move on |
Detailed audit walkthrough in [`references/gtm-audit.md`](./references/gtm-audit.md).
### Phase B — BigQuery GA4 export (precision / cross-source analysis)
For unsampled data, custom attribution, joining GA4 with order-DB / CRM data, or cohort analysis. Requires the GA4 → BigQuery export to be turned on in the GA4 admin (free for standard properties since 2023).
```
bigquery_execute_query(
query="""
SELECT
event_date,
COUNT(DISTINCT user_pseudo_id) AS users,
COUNTIF(event_name = 'purchase') AS purchases,
SUM(IF(event_name = 'purchase', ecommerce.purchase_revenue, 0)) AS revenue
FROM `your-project.analytics_123456789.events_*`
WHERE _TABLE_SUFFIX BETWEEN '20260401' AND '20260430'
GROUP BY event_date
ORDER BY event_date
"""
)
```
Schema, common queries, and the full attribution-modeling workflow in [`references/bigquery-ga4-export.md`](./references/bigquery-ga4-export.md).
## Output standards
- **Always present numbers as tables**, not prose. "12,400 sessions, 8.2% bounce, 1.4% conversion" → markdown table.
- **Always include the date range** in the report header. "Apr 1–30, 2026" — undated numbers are useless.
- **Always include the property / site** the report came from. Multi-property organizations get burned by this constantly.
- **Annotate sampling.** If GA4 returns a `samplesReadCount < samplingSpaceSize`, say so explicitly. The user needs to know whether to trust the number for finance / board reporting.
- **Distinguish "ratio metric" from "summable metric".** Bounce rate, engagement rate, conversion rate are *ratios* and don't sum — present them as one number, not a column total.
