The ed.Context extension for Google Chrome helps to quickly understand your analytics data in Google Analytics (GA4) visually. Add context to your reports. Discover relationships using contextual data with our Google Chrome extension. The browser extension lets you display your individual context data as an overlay within the Google Analytics interface.
ed.Context fills the gap of the missing annotation feature in Google Analytics 4.
The ed.Context Chrome extension displays report annotations directly within the GA4 interface. Annotations are available in all applicable Google Analytics reports. Each date in the report with annotations is marked in the timeline. You can hover over the annotation marker to display an annotation popup window to display the most relevant data.
In addition ed.Context adds an annotation table to the native Google Analytics 4 report. The ed.Context annotation table contains detailed information on each annotation within the report period.
To display the context data in Google Analytics 4, you need our extension for Google Chrome. You can freely download the Chrome Extension from the Google Store.
WHY USE ed.Context?
The right context is crucial for the correct interpretation of analysis data. In practice, exactly this context data is often missing. The functions for adding annotations and notes to reports are usually very limited and cumbersome to use in common analysis environments. In Google Analytics 4 the functionality is missing completely. ed.Context closes exactly this gap.
Use ed.Context to merge information from various sources and display it directly in the reporting environment of the web analysis solution as a mashup with the reports. This significantly reduces the time needed to evaluate reports from context. Relevant context data can be sorted into categories and displayed selectively. This allows you to immediately see if an event has a direct impact on the timing of the metric under consideration.
Make your standard Google Analytics reports speak to you. In today’s world, data is the key to success. Every company collects data to help achieve business goals. Often the interpretation of these data streams is not easy. ed.Context is the means to build an active interpretation tool for individual data to make the results of the analyses quickly and easily available.
Many sources of context data are directly available in ed.Context:
- Tag Management System releases
- Import data from connected Google Spreadsheets
- Import weather data from OpenWeatherMap
- Calendars for vacations and public holidays
- Google Search incidents
- Google product updates
