If you want to understand your visitors, boost your conversions, and make smarter marketing decisions, you need Google Analytics.

At WebHouse, we always recommend connecting your website to Google Analytics โ€” and in this guide, weโ€™ll show you exactly how to do it, even if youโ€™re not a tech expert.


๐Ÿ” Why Use Google Analytics?

Google Analytics gives you deep insights like:

  • Where your traffic comes from (Google, social, direct, etc.)
  • Which pages perform best
  • How long visitors stay
  • What actions they take on your site

โœ… Bonus: It helps you track ROI on ads and SEO performance.


๐Ÿ›  Step 1: Create a Google Analytics Account

  1. Go to analytics.google.com
  2. Sign in with your Google account
  3. Click on โ€œStart measuringโ€
  4. Enter your account and website name
  5. Select your industry category and time zone

๐ŸŒ Step 2: Set Up a Property (GA4)

Google Analytics now uses GA4 (Google Analytics 4):

  • Enter your website name
  • Choose your platform: Web
  • Enter your domain (e.g. webhouse.ma)
  • Accept terms and complete setup

๐Ÿ”— Step 3: Get the Tracking Code

  1. Once your property is created, go to Admin > Data Streams
  2. Click your Web data stream
  3. Copy the Measurement ID (it looks like G-XXXXXXX)

๐Ÿ”ง Step 4: Add the Code to Your Website

If You Use WordPress:

  • Install a plugin like Site Kit by Google or GA Google Analytics
  • Paste the Measurement ID in the plugin settings

If You Use HTML:

  • Paste the global site tag <script> into the <head> section of every page

โœ… Step 5: Verify Itโ€™s Working

  1. Open your website in a new tab
  2. In Google Analytics, go to Reports > Realtime
  3. You should see your visit show up instantly

๐Ÿ“Œ Tip: Use the Google Tag Assistant Chrome extension to double-check if the tracking code is installed properly.


๐Ÿ“ˆ Bonus: Connect to Google Search Console

To get even more SEO insights:

  • Go to Google Analytics > Admin > Property Settings
  • Click Adjust Search Console
  • Link your domain with Search Console
