The most widely used web analytics tool is Google Analytics, which provides essential insights into the behavior of visitors to your website. Understanding their performance can help improve your online marketing strategies and ultimately increase the success of the site. In this article, we&#8217;ll walk you through a step-by-step guide on how to set up Google Analytics on your WordPress Site, irrespective of your expertise.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Sign_Up_For_Google_Analytics\"><\/span>Step 1: Sign Up For Google Analytics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step is to sign up for a Google Analytics account by visiting analytics.google.com and logging in with your Google account information. If you do not have a Google account, you must create one. Ensure that you provide accurate and up-to-date information such as your website\u2019s name and URL, the industry you are in, and the reporting time zone to help set up a new account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Get_Your_Tracking_ID\"><\/span>Step 2: Get Your Tracking ID<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To get your tracking ID, which is a unique identifier that Google Analytics uses to track data, click on the \u201cAdmin\u201d tab and then the \u201cProperty Settings\u201d tab. You will find a code that begins with \u201cUA-\u201d followed by a series of numbers in the \u201cTracking ID\u201d section. Ensure that you copy this code as you will need it for the next step.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Install_Google_Analytics_On_Your_WordPress_Site\"><\/span>Step 3: Install Google Analytics On Your WordPress Site<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are various ways of installing Google Analytics on your WordPress site. The most popular technique is by using a plugin like the \u201cGoogle Analytics Dashboard for WP (GADWP)\u201d plugin. For those who prefer a manual process, you could add the Google Analytics code manually to your WordPress site or use theme options if it is available. Ensure that you enter your Google Analytics Tracking ID in the \u201cTracking Code\u201d field, select the \u201cUniversal Analytics\u201d option, and save changes. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Verify_Your_Google_Analytics_Installation\"><\/span>Step 4: Verify Your Google Analytics Installation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After installing Google Analytics on your WordPress site, it&#8217;s crucial to verify that it&#8217;s functioning correctly. To do this, you can use the Google Analytics Real-Time Report, Tag Assistant by Google, or the Google Analytics Dashboard for WP Plugin.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Setting up Google Analytics on your WordPress site is fundamental in understanding how your website is performing. By following the steps highlighted above, you can easily set up Google Analytics and begin making informed decisions about your website\u2019s performance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understanding the Importance of Web Analytics Having a website may seem like the ultimate achievement, but without tracking its performance using the appropriate tools, it&#8217;s&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3287],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/WORDPRESS-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9150"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9150"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9150\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
