Google Analytics 4 (GA4) has made the process of constructing landing page reports a whole lot easier! The new built-in functionality has enabled webmasters to instantly generate meaningful reports and review data about visits to their site. It’s an exciting development that could help those who run websites to optimize their sites for success.
Previously, users had to manually construct these types of reports – a laborious process involving multiple clicks. With the rollout of this built-in feature, everything has become so much simpler!
It’ll give a better understanding of how well your landing pages are working, so you can make informed adjustments and maximize your results.
Recently, @googleanalytics stated that landing page reports will now be available with GA4.

What’s even more impressive is that the report automatically appears in your dashboards – no manual configuration required.
