How to set up Google Analytics
To set up the account, it requires a Google account. Google accounts include Gmail, YouTube, Picasa and more. If you don’t have an account already you click on the “sign in” button on the top right of www.google.com and click on “create an account now” below the sign in section and follow the instructions.
Now that, that is set up, we can set up the analytics account. Back on the main page, click on “business solutions” Find “Analytics” (it has a small icon of a graph). Depending on which browser you use depends on the location of the link. Firefox is center column, 2 down. Chrome is on the left column.
Now you get to set up another account. The link is very small underneath the huge Access Analytics button. Google will then give you step by step instructions for setting up the code. You should end up on a page that looks like this.
Copy this coding and send it to your web designer. The coding needs to be added before the </head> tag in the back end of the website. It should be added to all pages that you want tracked.
24 hours after it is installed correctly you will get results. Just log back into the Google account, click on the business solutions, go to analytics click on view report and off you go!!
Enjoy and watch the results come in!!
