Google Analytics Setup

Google Analytics is the industry standard for understanding your website traffic – who your visitors are, how they found you, and what they do on your site. But simply installing the tracking code isn't enough. Proper setup involves configuring goals, e‑commerce tracking, filters, and views to ensure you get actionable insights. With Google Analytics 4 (GA4), the platform has evolved to focus on events and cross‑platform tracking. At Webglobe Solutions, we handle the entire GA4 setup, from property creation to advanced configuration, so you can make data‑driven decisions.

A comprehensive GA setup includes: Property & Data Streams – Create GA4 property and configure web, app, or both; Tracking Code Installation – Via Google Tag Manager or directly; Events – Track interactions like button clicks, video plays, form submissions; Conversions – Mark key events as conversions; E‑commerce Events – Enhanced e‑commerce for product performance; Audiences – Build remarketing lists; Custom Reports & Dashboards – Visualise your key metrics; Filters & Views – Exclude internal traffic, create test views.
