If you are like me who keeps adding websites in Google Analytics now and then, you must have felt frustrated trying to figure out how and where in Google Analytics you can add a new website for tracking. The fact that GA interface keeps changing every time you log in (well, almost) does not help either.
Set up Analytics tracking
have not already done so, create a property in Google Analytics. Create one Analytics property for each website you want to track. Creating a property generates a tracking ID, which you'll use in your gtag.js tracking code snippet.
Find your tracking ID, as described below. You'll use this tracking ID in the tracking code snippet.
Copy and paste the gtag.js tracking code snippet to each web page you want to track. Add the tracking code snippet right after the opening <head> tag on each page.
Find your tracking ID
To find the tracking ID:
Sign in to your Analytics account.
- Click Admin.
- Select an account from the menu in the ACCOUNT column.
- Select a property from the menu in the PROPERTY column.
- Under PROPERTY, click Tracking Info > Tracking Code. Your tracking ID is displayed at the top of the page.
- Tracking code snippet
Paste the following snippet right after the <head> tag on each page of your site. Replace GA_TRACKING_ID with your own Google Analytics tracking ID :
<!-- Global Site Tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=GA_TRACKING_ID"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'GA_TRACKING_ID');
</script>
Verify that the tracking code is working
To verify that the tracking code is working, visit your website and check to see that your visit is being registered in the Real-Time reports.
Get started with Analytics
To start collecting basic data from a website or mobile app :
Create or sign in to your Analytics account :
Go to google.com/analytics
Click SIGN IN > Analytics.
Do one of the following:
To create an account, click Sign up.
To sign in to your account, enter the email address and password associated with the account.
Set up a property in your Analytics account. A property represents your website or app, and is the collection point in Analytics for the data from your site or app.
Set up a reporting view in your property. Views let you create filtered perspectives of your data; for example, all data except from your company’s internal IP addresses, or all data associated with a specific sales region.
Follow the instructions to add the tracking code to your website or mobile app so you can collect data in you Analytics property.
