Discover the simple steps to integrate Google Analytics with WeWeb and smoothly track the performance of your site. Effortless setup ensures you're monitoring every visit and click with ease.
Integrating Google Analytics with WeWeb gives insights into user behavior on your website, helping to make better decisions. Usually, this involves making a Google Analytics account, grabbing the tracking ID, and embedding it in your WeWeb project. It’s useful for keeping an eye on site traffic, learning about user demographics, and seeing behavior flow, along with other key metrics. This valuable data can improve the user experience and boost performance. Knowing how to connect these tools well is crucial for getting the most out of Google Analytics' detailed data features.
Step 1: Head over to the Google Analytics website and log in with your Google account.
Step 2: Click on the "Admin" button. It's down there at the bottom left of your screen.
Step 3: In the "Account" column, either create a new account or pick one you already have.
Step 4: In the "Property" column, click on "Create Property" to set up a new property.
Step 5: Fill in the property details like the name, reporting time zone, and currency.
Step 6: Under the "Tracking ID" section, click "Get Tracking ID". Copy the Tracking ID, which starts with "UA-".
Step 7: Log in to your WeWeb account and open the project where you want to add Google Analytics.
Step 8: Go to the "Settings" option in the WeWeb dashboard.
Step 9: Under "General Settings," find the "Header" or "Custom Code" section.
Step 10: In the custom code area, add the Google Analytics tracking script. Here’s the script you need:
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=YOUR_TRACKING_ID"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'YOUR_TRACKING_ID');
</script>
Step 11: Replace YOUR_TRACKING_ID
with the actual Google Analytics Tracking ID you got earlier.
Step 12: Save your changes to make sure the script is applied to your project.
Step 13: Publish the changes to make the script live on your WeWeb site.
Step 14: Open your website in a browser, then go back to Google Analytics.
Step 15: In Google Analytics, go to the "Realtime" section under "Reports".
Step 16: Check for activity to see if the Google Analytics tracking code is capturing site data. If you see activity, the integration worked!
Remember to use Incognito mode or different devices to test real-time traffic.
Step 17: Make sure the script code is correctly formatted and there are no syntax errors.
Step 18: Double-check your WeWeb project settings to confirm the script has been saved and applied.
Step 19: Compare the timestamp of any data for delays in reporting, as there can be a short lag.
Step 20: If no data is captured, revisit both WeWeb and Google Analytics settings, ensuring the correct Tracking ID is used and the script is positioned correctly.
