In this video we'll be setting up Google Analytics 4 for your WordPress website. We'll be doing this step by step, and I also show you how you can track your submitted contact forms on your website. Its really easy, just follow these steps. And we're gonna start right now!
So if we log into our Google Analytics this is what we see. The property will stop processing data starting the 1st of July 2023. And then this beautiful countdown clock. The first thing we do is actually click on 'Go to setup assistant' over here. I'm gonna click on this blue button 'Get started'.
"This setup will create a property, Copy
the basic settings from your original property and enable the data collection using existing analytics.js and gtag.js. Great. Press 'Create'. It has been created, well done and it also have been connected. Then we click on go to your Google Analytics 4 Property in here. This is your property Google Analytics 4. if you want to see the interface of Google Analytics 4 you can go over here to 'Reports', and it's actually quite different than the Universal Analytics. So yeah it's a little bit of looking and searching where everything is, but you're gonna be fine, trust me. You will keep seeing this red bar over here because of the setup we need to complete right here. What do we need to do is data collection - collect website and app data. If you click on this button over here 'Actions' you can see the 'Manage data streams'. We need to click on this one. And then you can see that no data has been received in the past 48 hours. But if we go over here to 'Reports' if all is good... so you need to visit your own website in an incognito screen or private window. Just click a little bit around, just do something on your website, just click on a few pages over there. And then you will see in Google Analytics 4 that you have a real-time user, one user from the Netherlands! Hey that's me. So now you know that Google Analytics 4 works great. From here you click on here 'Complete setup'. Because now we know everything works. So data collection is okay - it has started but it's not yet in here, but it's okay. If I click on actions and press 'Mark as complete'. "Data is not flowing" well it actually is, but it will update this in the next 48 hours, because it's gonna take a little bit of time. And now you scroll down and we go to the 'Property settings. Now Google Signals is very important if you have Google ads on your website. If you're showing ads or you're advertising with products for your website, then this is very important. If you don't have this, you can just click on 'Mark as complete'. Then we're going to set up 'Conversions'. The conversions could be the contact page or somebody filled in your contact form, those things are really important to measure, or else you don't know if your website really works. So we're gonna click on this arrow 'Actions' you're gonna 'Manage conversions' over there. Standard in here is the 'Purchase'. But I'm not an e-commerce website so what I'm going to do is going to create a new conversion event over there. So let's change this event name to 'ContactForm submission' like this. You can't use any dashes stripes or anything, so just use this. And press save. Then we have created the conversion event ContactFormSubmission. After that you go over here to 'Events' we're gonna create a new event. So create it. Then we click on 'Create' over there. I'm going to give..
