Unsolved Can you accurately track lead source when using a cookie consent system?
-
With the introduction of cookie consent for third party analytics cookies, is it still possible to accurately track traffic source?
Legally, you can't create a tracking cookie for platforms like Analytics until consent is given. So...the associated Javascript tags can't fire.
Surely this means you can't collect any of the information on the user's original source...
Can anyone shed any light on this conundrum....greatly appreciated.

@beklerken unfortunately not, I was hoping for some technical insight into whether it's possible to track the original source when someone chooses to accept cookies.

It naturally returns to the web start. Of course, personal rights will also be valid on the internet, which is used extensively now. Attention should be paid to the framework of respect for people.
Analytics makes a restriction there, but you can see how long the user has come and stood there. When creating reports, it is useful to distinguish between using and not using cookies.
Everyone has rights as individuals and it's just a matter of learning to respect that.Of course, this is my personal opinion, I hope it helped your question.

Unsolved Google Analytics (GA4) recommendations for SEO analysis?
Guides on Moz and elsewhere mostly refer to Google Analytics' Universal Analytics (UA). However, UA is being replaced with GA4, and the interface, options, and reporting are very different. Can you recommend a clear, thorough, and effective walkthrough of how to set up useful SEO reports in GA4? Is there a simple tool you recommend that will help connect historical data from UA to GA4 when GA4 is the only option available? If there's no simple tool, what values do you recommend retaining from UA for effective historical reporting? How would you use them? At minimum for reporting, I'd want to show month-to-month changes and year-to-year changes (in percentages and in real numbers) for the following: all site visits all organic visits organic visits as a percentage of all site visits organic visits that led to a specific goal completion organic visits that led to any goal completion Thanks in advance for your help!

Client Dashboard Options
My company is an agency, and we manage many SEO Campaigns. I love the reports, but I'd really like to add an online dashboard that my clients can login to and see the same up to date stats as I do in Moz Pro. I can't do it with Seats because you can't limit a seat to a specific campaign (as far as I know). Has anyone found a solution for this?

Abnormally High Direct Traffic Volume
We have abnormally high amounts of direct traffic to our site. It's comprising over half of all web traffic while organic is second with considerably less. From there the volume decreases amongst other channels. I've never seen such a huge proportion of traffic being attributed the Direct. Does anyone know how to test this or see if there is an error in Google Analytics reporting?

Since implementing GDPR, has anyone seen website traffic plummet?
On December 1 and 2, I implemented a cookie banner on 5 of my Wix sites (https://www.sanitationsolutionsinc.com is one example) in order to be in compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and LGPD. Since then my traffic according to Wix Analytics and Google Analytics has plummeted. Anyone else have the same issue? How did you fix it?

How can I see keyword rankings past 50?
The rankings in the campaigns appear to be limited to tracking terms in the top 50. is there a way to view past that? I understand that for the most part no one is ever going to see past that so 50+ might as well be 5000. But a client has requested for a handful of key terms. If this is not possible, can someone recommend another tool I might use? Thank you! Kevin
