Exciting news – you’re ready to dive into website analytics! Adding Google Analytics using our Gtag.js plugin is a fantastic step toward understanding your site’s performance. Here’s how you can set it up:
- Head over to https://www.sitesgpt.com/account/sites
- Find your site and click “Customize Site”
- Scroll down on the left sidebar to “Footer Sections” and hit “Create new section”
- Look for “Plugins” and select “Gtag.js”
- Grab your Google Tag ID from your Google Analytics dashboard (it usually looks like GT-XXXXXXXXX or G-XXXXXXXXX) and add it to the plugins “Meausrement ID” field.
Now, here’s the scoop: while installing the basic tracking code is straightforward, navigating Google Analytics can get a bit complex. It’s a very powerful tool – the more you explore, the more you can do.
Google Analytics offers a ton of features and options beyond just basic tracking. To help you understand the capabilities of our Gtag.js plugin, here’s a list of features that gtag.js supports by default. These features will be available to you out of the box without any additional site configuration or code snippets:
- Pageview Tracking: Tracking of pageviews is supported by default. This means whenever a page loads, gtag.js automatically sends information to Google Analytics to record the pageview.
- Event Tracking: Basic event tracking is also supported by default. Events like clicks on links, button clicks, form submissions, and other user interactions can be tracked without additional configuration.
- Cross-Domain Tracking: gtag.js supports cross-domain tracking out of the box. This allows you to track user interactions across multiple domains or subdomains seamlessly.
- Real-Time Reporting: Real-time reporting is enabled by default. This means you can view website activity as it happens in the Google Analytics interface without any additional setup.
- Integration with Google Ads: gtag.js integrates with Google Ads by default. This allows you to track conversions and optimize ad campaigns based on performance metrics collected through Google Analytics.
- User Identification: User identification capabilities are included by default. gtag.js can assign unique IDs to users to track them across sessions and devices for more accurate user-centric analysis and targeting.
