===== Related overview =====

For a shopper-friendly overview of features and setup, see the [[https://toweringmedia.com/magento-2-search-intelligence-ga4-connector-user-guide|Magento 2 GA4 Connector User Guide - Analytics for SEO]] on the storefront. This wiki page remains the full technical documentation.

===== Extension context =====

This is a Toweringmedia Magento 2 extension guide for the current admin extension catalog.

===== Product page =====

  * [[https://toweringmedia.com/search-intelligence-ga4-connector|Search Intelligence — GA4 Connector]] (SKU ''tm-search-intelligence-ga4'')

===== Overview =====

This connector pulls Google Analytics 4 data into Search Intelligence so that SEO proposals are informed by real engagement and conversion behaviour rather than ranking data alone. It includes a dashboard and offline normalization preview tooling.

===== What this extension does =====

  * Connects Magento to a Google Analytics 4 property.
  * Feeds GA4 engagement and conversion signals into Search Intelligence.
  * GA4 dashboard inside the Intelligence SEO Suite.
  * Offline normalization preview tooling.

===== Requirements =====

  * Magento 2.4.x (Open Source or Adobe Commerce).
  * PHP: ^8.1 || ^8.2 || ^8.3 || ^8.4 (as declared by the published package).
  * A current Toweringmedia license and Composer credentials for ''https://composer.toweringmedia.com/''.
  * Requires ''toweringmedia/module-search-intelligence-core'' — Composer installs it automatically.
  * A Google Analytics 4 property and credentials with read access to it.
  * This module is part of the Search Intelligence suite. Search Intelligence Core must be installed and working first — the connectors and appliers plug into Core's dashboard, advisory queue, and change-set workflow.

===== Installation =====

Install and validate in a staging environment before production rollout.

<code bash>
cd /path/to/magento
composer require toweringmedia/module-search-intelligence-ga4

bin/magento module:enable Toweringmedia_SearchIntelligenceGa4
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
bin/magento cache:flush
</code>

Toweringmedia packages are served from the licensed Composer repository ''https://composer.toweringmedia.com/''. If Composer reports that the package could not be found, your credentials are missing or the license does not cover this package yet. Retrieve your keys from **My Account** on toweringmedia.com, or contact [[mailto:support@toweringmedia.com|support@toweringmedia.com]].

General installation notes that apply to every Toweringmedia extension are in the [[https://toweringmedia.com/installation|installation guide]].

===== Configuration =====

  * Stores > Configuration > Towering Media > **Google Analytics 4 Connector Settings** (config section ''search_intelligence_ga4'').
  * Groups: ''connection'' and ''operational_cache''.
  * Admin screen: Intelligence SEO Suite > **GA4**.

===== Basic usage and what to expect =====

  - Enter the GA4 property credentials in the connection group and save.
  - Open the GA4 dashboard in the Intelligence SEO Suite and confirm data is arriving.
  - If figures look stale, clear the operational cache — it is there to limit API calls.

===== Validation checklist =====

  * ''bin/magento module:status'' shows the module(s) as enabled.
  * Extension configuration saves without errors in Admin.
  * The admin screens listed above are reachable and load without error.
  * Expected storefront/admin behavior is present after a cache flush.
  * No critical PHP/JS errors appear in ''var/log/'' during the primary test flow.

===== Troubleshooting =====

  * **Composer cannot find the package**: confirm the ''https://composer.toweringmedia.com/'' repository and your credentials are present in ''auth.json'', and that your license covers this package.
  * **Feature not visible**: verify module status, flush cache, and redeploy static content.
  * **Admin setting not applying**: clear cache and confirm the config scope (default / website / store view).
  * **Unexpected behavior**: retest with only the required related modules enabled.
