How to Set up a Google Analytics Account 

Before adding Google Analytics to your website, you will need a Google account. If you don't have one yet, sign up here. Once you already have a Google account, you can now sign up for Analytics.


Follow these steps:

  1. Go to https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/provision/#/provision and click Setup for Free. 
  2. Create an Account name and then click Next below. 
  3. Provide Property details such as the Property name, Reporting time zone, and Currency. On the Advanced options, you can opt to Create a Universal Analytics property. Then click Next.
  4. Now, provide your Business information by selecting the Industry category, Business size, and How do you intend to use Google Analytics with your business? (Check all that apply). Once done, click Create.
  5. The Google Analytics Terms of Service Agreement will then show up. Choose your Country, then tick the "I also accept the Data Processing Terms as required by GDPR" and "I accept the Measurement Controller-Controller Data Protection Terms for the data that I share with Google" boxes. Click I Accept.
  6. You will be directed to your Google Analytics Administration page and the My email communications will appear. Check the applicable options for your account and click Save. 
  7. Choose a platform and fill out the necessary fields.  
  8. Once done, copy the Tracking ID and the tracking code or the Global Site Tag listed on the page. You will need to input it into your site.
