1. Create a Custom Dimension:
- Navigate: Go to your GA4 property, click on “Configure” > “Dimensions”.
- Create: Click on “Create Dimension”.
- Name: Give your dimension a meaningful name, like “Landing Page”.
- Event: Choose the event parameter that represents the landing page URL. This is typically “page_path” or “page_title”.
- Save: Click “Create”.
2. Create a Segment:
- Navigate: Go to “Explore” and start a new exploration.
- Create Segment: Click on the “+” icon in the “Variables” column.
- Choose Segment Type: Select “Event”.
- Define Conditions: Add a condition using the custom dimension you just created. For example, you could filter for events where the “Landing Page” dimension equals a specific URL or contains a particular keyword.
- Save: Click “Save and Apply”.
3. Analyze Your Data:
- Explore: Use the segment you’ve created to analyze your event data. You can visualize various metrics like event counts, user counts, or average session duration for events that occurred on specific landing pages.
Example Segment:
- Segment Name: “Landing Page: Homepage Events”
- Conditions:
- “Landing Page” equals “/homepage”
Additional Tips:
- Dimension Scoping: Consider using a “Session-scoped” dimension for the “Landing Page” if you want to track the landing page for all events within a session.
- Event Filtering: You can combine your landing page segment with other event filters to further refine your analysis. For instance, you could filter for events that occurred within a specific time frame or by user properties.
By following these steps, you can effectively segment your events by landing page and gain valuable insights into how visitors interact with your website based on their initial entry point.
