Measurement Protocol
Offline event data import
Pathing technique
Behavioral modeling

Explanation:

When only a portion of users provide consent for analytics, behavioral modeling in Google Analytics 4 (GA4) helps bridge the data gap. It uses machine learning to estimate the behavior of users who declined analytics cookies, based on the observed behavior of similar users who granted consent. This allows you to gain a more complete and accurate understanding of your overall user journey in Analytics reports, even with incomplete observed data, while fully respecting user privacy settings through Consent Mode.

This official Google Analytics Help page directly explains how behavioral modeling works with consent mode to fill in data gaps for non-consenting users.

You’re running a campaign and want to assess the ROI. Which conversion column within a given report would show you the ROI for a campaign?

Cost per conversion

Conversion rate
Conversion value/cost
Conversion value

Explanation:

Return on Investment (ROI) is a fundamental metric for evaluating campaign profitability. In digital advertising, ROI is calculated by dividing the value generated from conversions by the cost incurred to achieve those conversions. The “Conversion value/cost” column in a report directly represents this ratio. It shows how much revenue (or value) you gained for every unit of currency spent on your campaign. A higher ratio indicates a better return on your advertising investment.

This Google Ads Help page explains ROAS (Return On Ad Spend), which is essentially “Conversion value / cost.” It states that ROAS “is the total conversion value divided by the total cost.” While the term might differ slightly, the calculation and purpose are identical for assessing campaign ROI.
