Thanks to Google Analytics, you can measure the audience of your site, improve your SEO/SEA strategy, and analyze the behavior of your visitors. You can also interconnect other Google services.


Create a Google Analytics account

To activate Google Analytics, you must first go to the Google Analytics homepage.

If you do not have an account yet, click on Create an account:

  • Give a name to your account, which is generally that of your business.

  • Provide a property name, that of your business or your site.

  • Set the time zone to France and the currency to euro.

  • Select an industry sector and the size of your company.

  • Select the statistics that interest you.


Create a statistics stream

Once your account is created, you need to create a statistics stream to link your Google Analytics account to your site.

  • In the Admin tab, in the Property column, click on Data Streams.

  • Click on the Web option.

  • In Set up a data stream, fill in the URL of the website and the site name, then click on Create Stream.

  • Copy the measurement ID obtained, which looks like G-0BTCEYJWE9.


Connect the site to the stream

You now need to connect your Analytics account to your site.

  • Go to the Plugins tab in the Marketing category of your Vivlab dashboard.

  • Access the edit menu of the Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics plugin.

  • Paste the ID you copied earlier and save.


Check the connection

You now need to check that the stream connects your Analytics to your site correctly.

  • Open a new tab in your browser and go to your site.

  • In another tab, check the Real-time section of your Google Analytics dashboard. If a visit is displayed, the stream is set up correctly!

Fetching real-time information may take a few minutes during initialization. Feel free to refresh your Google Analytics page if necessary.
