How to Set Up Google Analytics 4 🧐
1. In Google Analytics, click Admin (in the lower left corner).
2. In the Account column, make sure that your desired account is selected. (If you only have one Google Analytics account, it's already selected.)
3. In the Property column, select the Universal Analytics property that currently collects data for your website.
4. In the Property column, click GA4 Setup Assistant. It is the first option in the Property column.
5. Click Get started under I want to create a new Google Analytics 4 property.
6. If your site uses the gtag.js tag, you have the option to Enable data collection using your existing tags.
If you use a website builder/CMS that already supports the gtag.js tag (e.g., WordPress, Wix, etc.), you may have the option to Enable data collection using your existing tags.
If your website builder/CMS does not yet support the gtag.js tag, if you use Google Tag Manager, or your website is tagged with analytics.js, the wizard can't reuse your existing tagging and you'll need to add the tag yourself (instructions).
7. Click Create Property.
8. Once you click Create Property, the setup wizard:
9. Creates your new GA4 property.
10. Copies the property name, website URL, timezone, and currency settings from your Universal Analytics property.
11. Activates enhanced measurement in your GA4 property.
12. Creates a connection between your Universal Analytics and GA4 properties. This connection makes it possible for you to use Setup Assistant in your Google Analytics 4 property to migrate configurations from your Universal Analytics property to your GA4 property.
13. Once this process is complete, you will see "You have successfully connected your properties" at the top of your Google Analytics 4 Property Setup Assistant page.
Okay, so it is done! In the next we are going to implement Analytics to start collecting data from your website 🥳
