#### Which Google destination should I use?
13+
14+
If your Google Measurement ID starts with a G, you are using G-Codes from Google Analytics 4, and should consider using [Segment's upcoming Google Analytics 4 destination](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/google-analytics/ga4-plans/).
15+
16+
Although GA4 is now the default when you create a new property, you can still [create a Universal Analytics property](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/10269537). You can use a UA property with the [Segment's Google Analytics destination](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/google-analytics/).
17+
18+
Different Measurement IDs begin with different prefixes, which indicate which Google destination you should use.
19+
20+
| Prefix | Google Account type | Segment Settings |
21+
| ------ | -------------------------- | ----------------- |
22+
| UA | Your global site tag is controlled by Google Analytics. The ID is your Google Analytics Measurement ID. To find the property associated with this ID, use the [account search feature](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6100731) in Google Analytics. If the property does not appear, you probably do not have access to it. | [Google Analytics](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/google-analytics/): Configure ID > Measurement ID |
23+
| G | Your global site tag is controlled by Google Analytics 4 (GA4). The ID is your Google Analytics Measurement ID. | [Google Analytics](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/google-analytics/): Configure ID > App + Web Measurement ID |
24+
| AW | Your global site tag is controlled by Google Ads. The numeric string following the AW prefix is your Google Ads Conversion ID. | [Google Ads](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/google-ads-gtag/): Configure ID > Conversion ID |
25+
| DC | Your global site tag is controlled by a Floodlight tag. The numeric string following DC is your Advertiser ID. | [Floodlight](docs/connections/destinations/catalog/doubleclick-floodlight/): Configure ID > App + Web Measurement ID |
26+
| other | Your global site tag is controlled by a different Google product or may be implemented incorrectly. Use the [Tag Assistant extension](https://support.google.com/tagassistant/answer/2947093) for Google Chrome to verify. | n/a |
