This article was originally posted on April 12, 2023 and updated on November 28th, 2023. Tag manager analytics frequently change, we update our instructions to reflect. How to Install Google Analytics GA4 and Retrieve Your Measurement ID If you are operating Google Ads or are working with a pay-per-click ads vendor, typically they want to see conversion tracking to understand the data of what ads are working. The video below explains how to start a GA4 account, or if you already have a GA4 account, how to get the measurement ID and send it to us. Step 1: Start Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (watch video) Under Enhanced Measurement , we suggest selecting Form Interactions to ON . We highly suggest starting a Google Tag Manager account, and not using the Google Tag supplied by Google Ads. If you had a previous installation of Google Analytics, you need to comment on your site ( 2:15 in video ) "Please remove all previous Google Analytic Script codes). If this is not done, your new GA4 Measurement will potentially not work. Step 2: Setup Google Tag Manager Tracking Warning: This step is critical in allowing Google Tag Manager tracking inside your site. If you do not setup Google Tag Manager correctly, your tracking will not work. Detailers Roadmap can only install the code, it is the clients/pay-per-click managers responsibility to connect tracking on their side. Please follow these instructions on setting Google Tag Manager for Custom Event Triggers. Step 3: - Email Script Code or G-# / GTM-# to Us Once tracking is setup, please email the provided G-# and GTM-# from Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager Subject: Your Website Name - Code Install to webdev@8bitcreative.com Traditional Google Analytics (UA-#) is being phased out. The new GA4 measurement ID is all that you will need moving forward. It takes up to 24 hours to see measured traffic through the website. It is not instanaeous.

Are you changing your address, business name, or phone number? This is a must-read. Changing your physical address, can have a drastic effect - like major levels of shutdown of traffic. Updating your NAP (Name, Address, Phone) data is vital to local search. The reason why is Google uses your address and indicators from other indexes (Facebook, Yellow Pages, Super Pages, BBB.org, Instagram, and the list goes on) to understand what is the most ACCURATE data. If you only change it on a handful of places, you are providing Google inaccurate data, and it can being to de-rank and effect your traffic drastically. Not in all cases will this happen, but in a majority of cases it does. We highly suggest you do our Citation Boost & Fix service to avoid as much interruption as possible. There will still be an interruption in the traffic, but the citation boost can fix the changes and additionally place your business on many indexes permanently. This service takes up to 8 weeks to fully complete, and about 60-90 days for Google to see and reflect all those good changes. View our Citation Boost Package Info
