A step-by-step tutorial on how to implement scroll tracking with Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4. There are two approaches that you can choose from and I'll explain both.
The built-in scroll tracking in Google Analytics 4 is quite limited. By default, it tracks only the 90% mark. What if you also want to track other thresholds like 25%, 50%, 75%? You'll have to use Google Tag Manager and modify the setup.

Thank you!!! I took a Google Analytics course / certification to figure this out and was left without an answer and you’ve provided a way in less than 10min! This GA4 transition has been a pain so I’m glad I came across your channel! I’ll definitely be using it as a resource for the rest of my set up

That's amazing. So clear and understandable. I was thinking it was complicated and difficult to implement scroll down tracking, but now so easy. Thx a lot!!!!!!

Thanks for this video. I set up scroll tracking. Something weird that I'm noticing is that the 90% scroll gets more hits than the 25%. Shouldn't the 25% scroll always have more hits than 90%? Any pointers here? Cheers.

Hi, super video. 1. For this Event, when the user scrolls, does the G4 record all scroll values 25% 50% 90% or only the scroll value to which the user max scrolls on page ? 2. how to make an event that records max scroll before leaving the page?

Hello, All done, but under Custom Dimensions in GA there is no longer the option Scope "Event" in GA4 or GA. So, how can I add the scroll Custom Dimension?

@AnalyticsMania 2 жыл бұрын

1. There is still the Event scope in GA4. If you can't see it, maybe you are missing some permissions or something. But I just checked it and they are there. 2. The dimension for scroll percentage is now available by default in GA. Use it in Exploration reports

@LeicaBLK 3 ай бұрын

Does this event count towards engagement on the page? for example if a user scrolls 10% are they now an "engaged session"? Our engagement rate is quite high and I suspect this might be the issue

Hi Julius, thanks for your video. I have a question. Maybe i don't understand, if like this, please send me the time in video about this. I want to track scroll depths in GA4 like conversions but i don't want to do this in "real time". For example i want to see how many people scrolled %75 in last 30 days in GA4. I hope i can tell my problem. Thanks a lot.

Hey Julius, thanks for the content. I have one issue with my site though. I have been trying to come up with a solution to differentiate scroll tags on my pages because of my comments. Basically, I set 80% for full post scroll. However, when I have many comments, full post scroll would actually be 50%, but others page it will roughly be at 80%. Is there another calculation to resolve that? Thanks

@AnalyticsMania 2 жыл бұрын

Some websites are built in a way that it prematurely fires all scroll events. In that case, you should use some custom solution like this www.bounteous.com/insights/2017/09/27/scroll-tracking-recipe-gtm/ and then delay the moment when the custom html tag fires (e.g. several seconds after the window loaded).

@vincentl5483 Жыл бұрын

My developer created a website, kind of like a slider, where it loads all pages in one load. Therefore, in GTM debug mode, it's showing 4 scroll depths as soon as I just reload the page in GTM debug mode. How can I fix GTM to only show 1 scroll depth at a time? Do I need to have my web developer to modify how they program the website? Please advise.

I have the same issue. All the time I open a page on debug mode (WordPress website), even if I don't do any scroll, all the percentage tags events are fired. :( Can you please give a help here Julius?

@pcbb8037 2 жыл бұрын

Great video. All is working correctly, except: "not set" is one of the percent_scrolled values being reported, and is by far the largest. How can this value be accounted for? Event is set up for 25, 50, 75, 90. Could "not set" be 0%?

Hard to tell. This would require lookkng at the setup. Maybe something is missing.

Did you actually publish the container? I saw you preview but not submit it. I read of people not seeing their events show up under. “All events” in GA4 and it seems it may be because they forget to click “submit” on the container in tag manager.
