📈 How to Add Your Website to Google Analytics

If you want to grow your website’s traffic, you need to understand who is visiting, what pages they view, and where they come from.
That’s exactly what Google Analytics tells you.

The best part? It’s free, and you can set it up in just a few minutes.

Let’s walk through it step-by-step.

✅ Step 1: Sign in to Google Analytics

  1. Go to: https://analytics.google.com

  2. Sign in using your Google account (Gmail is fine).

This represents your website.

  • Currency: Any currency you prefer

Click Next.

✅ Step 3: Add Your Website URL

  1. Select Web

  2. Enter your website URL

  3. Enter a Stream name (ex: Main Website)

  4. Click Create Stream

Google will now show you a Measurement ID that looks like:
