Why teams switch from GA4 to WebVisor

No cookie banner required

WebVisor uses cookieless tracking that's genuinely privacy-compliant — not just GDPR-theater. No consent banner means a faster, cleaner first impression for your visitors.

Answers in seconds, not hours

GA4's interface is built for analysts. WebVisor is built for founders and agency owners who need to understand what's happening right now, without writing custom reports.

SEO and analytics in one place

WebVisor connects directly to Google Search Console, showing your keyword rankings, CTR, and impressions alongside your traffic data — no tab-switching required.

Your data stays yours

Google's business model is advertising. Your analytics data informs that model. With WebVisor, your data is used only to power your dashboard — never shared with third parties.

Common questions

Is WebVisor really GDPR-compliant without a cookie banner?

Yes. WebVisor collects no personal data — no cookies, no fingerprinting, no cross-session user IDs. Under GDPR, a consent banner is only required when you collect personal data. Because WebVisor doesn't, none is needed.

Can I migrate my historical GA4 data to WebVisor?

WebVisor tracks new data from the moment you install the tracking script. Historical GA4 data can be exported from GA4 and kept separately for reference, though it won't display inside WebVisor.

Does WebVisor integrate with Google Search Console like GA4 does?

Yes — WebVisor has a native Google Search Console integration that shows keyword rankings, impressions, CTR, and average position directly alongside your traffic data. It's tighter and simpler than GA4's integration.

Is WebVisor free like GA4?

WebVisor has a free plan for small sites. Paid plans start at $9/month for additional features and higher traffic volumes. Unlike GA4, paid plans come with human support.

No credit card. No cookie banner. No complex setup. Just analytics that respects your users and answers your questions.
