Can GA4 predictive metrics or behavioral modeling become eligible on a very low-traffic site with Consent Mode enabled?
I’m trying to figure out how to get GA4 modeling working for a small website.
After I enabled Consent Mode on my client’s site, the traffic in GA4 dropped a lot. It’s advanced mode, not basic. I thought the modeling might kick in after a week, but traffic is still low and I’m not sure the site will meet the requirements.
I promised my client I’d look into it, so I need to figure out what’s going on. I tried sending bot traffic to test it, but GA4 doesn’t show the bots in DebugView or the reports.
Has anyone dealt with this before? How can I check if Consent Mode is working properly and whether the site is eligible for modeling? Also, is there a proper way to test event delivery without messing up the client’s data?
Any advice would be really appreciated.
