Data migration with ease

Export Matomo data to BigQuery

We have developed a fully working Matomo to BigQuery exporter. We can export your data every day to your favorite data warehouse.rnrnu0026nbsp;

Export Google Analytics configuration

We launch the export process via the Google Analytics APIs to allow continuous import, sometimes over several days or weeks depending on the volume of data to be imported. We ensure the quality of the data imported into your Matomo instance.

Recreating manual configuration

Google Analytics and Matomo are different tools; it is impossible to fully automate the transfer of the configuration. We must therefore manually recreate your objectives, segments, personalized reports and alerts to maintain your effectiveness on Matomo;

Data migration and compatibility with the Matomo database

Migrating your data from Google Analytics to Matomo is not just a choice; it’s a strategic imperative for businesses aiming to harness deeper insights and regain control over their data privacy.rnrnWith Matomo’s open-source architecture and robust analytics capabilities, businesses can enjoy unparalleled transparency and ownership of their data, free from the constraints and uncertainties of third-party platforms. However, the migration process requires careful handling to ensure a seamless transition without compromising data integrity or losing critical insights.

We work regularly with Ronan: A true passionate and exciting expert, available and above all… very talented! For the integration of Matomo as for his other missions, he quickly understands the client’s needs and knows how to be a force for proposals in the integration of the tool.

Jérôme Brisseau Fondateur de Goodflair

Ronan accompanied us on Matomo to help us better understand this analysis tool which was quite new to us. He supported us on the tag correction in particular and proposed several relevant avenues for improvement. We feel that he knows the tool very, very well, he saved us precious time. Thank you very much for the collaboration, we will not hesitate for a second to call on him again!

Common questions about Google Analytics to Matomo migration

Everything you need to know about migrating from Google Analytics to Matomo.

Install Matomo (On-Premise or Cloud), then use the built-in Google Analytics Importer plugin to import your historical data from Universal Analytics or GA4. Implement the Matomo tracking code on your site and run both tools in parallel during a validation period.

Openmost handles the full migration process: data mapping, tracking plan adaptation, and quality assurance for a seamless transition.

The main differences are data ownership (Matomo keeps data on your servers, Google sends it to theirs), GDPR compliance (Matomo can work without cookie consent via CNIL-approved cookieless mode), and data accuracy (Matomo processes 100% of traffic without sampling).

Matomo is also open source, allowing custom plugins and full code access. Google Analytics is free but monetizes your visitors’ data for advertising.

Matomo On-Premise is free, self-hosted, with full data control and unlimited websites. You manage server maintenance and updates. Matomo Cloud is a managed SaaS on EU servers with automatic updates, priced by traffic volume.

Choose On-Premise for full data sovereignty and custom plugins. Choose Cloud for a managed solution with no infrastructure to maintain.
