This blog post will light up Google's recent rebrandings and why they are crucial.
We'll also discuss some of the other recent changes that have been made to Google's apps and services. Stay tuned!

Keeping up with Google’s changes is an ongoing challenge, but switching to GA4 is going to have an impact on virtually every small business.
Broadstreet is one by one upgrading our clients to Google Analytics 4.
In the short term, this is a challenging process, but in the long term our clients will be better equipped for the Analytics of the future, and by converting early they will have more GA4 data available when the old Universal Analytics expires.
The current version of Google Analytics, called Universal Analytics, is scheduled to stop processing new requests on July 1, 2023.
One of Google Analytics 4's most notable features that we discovered is its focus on user engagement.
With GA4, you can see not only how many people visit your website, but also how long they stay and what they do while they're there.
This information can be extremely valuable in understanding your audience and tailoring your content to them.

We split our time roughly in half between the two platforms, and our experience in so many different fields has given us a deep understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of both.
This article goes in-depth, but it should help anyone decide whether WordPress or Drupal is better for their needs.

It is no secret that 2020 was a big year for the internet, but it was also a big year for Broadstreet. When the COIVD-19 pandemic stuck, people suddenly became much more dependent on the internet for every part of life. Before March, we would go to restaurants to sit down and eat, but now we call ahead to order, we place orders online, and we get take out. Online shopping increased, and more businesses realized that choosing to keep their products offline limited their adaptability to the increased demand for shopping online.
“Businesses that thought they didn't need a website all of a sudden realized ‘Oh my, we're really behind the curve!’ That change in mindset was the biggest thing in 2020.” Tom Sliker said. “We watched this slow and steady adoption to the internet and e-commerce over the years, and all of a sudden, it just got a big boost in the arm.”

All SMBs had to be shown to be adhering to Google's advertising policies - any accounts in voilation would not recieve an ad credit. This is part of a larger commitment from Google to support SMBs, health organizations and governments, and health workers on the frontline of this global pandemic.
