Before we dig in I want to show you something. I promise it's worth it...

Google Analytics is great, but also complex and a bit clunky. If you just want a straightforward dashboard with the insights you need, GA is not a great place to start. Additionally, Google doesn't care about privacy and GA requires an annoying cookie banner.

That's why I built Simple Analytics, a privacy-friendly and simple analytics tool - no personal data, no cookies, just the insights you need in a straightforward dashboard.

Here is how it looks vs GA. Feel free to check our live analytics to get an idea for your project. (It is free btw)

All right, enough about us. Now let's get into answering your question!

Can you spot the difference between the dashboards?

Create or Access Your Google Analytics Account

First, you need to have a Google Analytics account set up. If you haven't already done this, here’s how to get started:

  • Visit the Google Analytics website and sign in with your Google account. If you don't have one, you will need to create it.
  • Once signed in, follow the on-screen instructions to set up a new Google Analytics account and property. Ensure you select "Web" as the platform type when creating your property.
  • After completing the setup, Google will provide you with a unique Measurement ID (formatted as "G-XXXXXXXXXX") for your newly created GA4 property. Note this ID down, as it will be required for the integration process.

Add Your Google Analytics Measurement ID to Builderall

Integrating Google Analytics with your Builderall website involves adding your Measurement ID to Builderall’s site settings. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Log into Your Builderall Dashboard: Access your Builderall account and navigate to the dashboard of the website you want to integrate with Google Analytics.
  • Access Site Settings: Look for the website settings menu.
  • Find the Google Analytics Field: Within the site settings, locate the field or section dedicated to Google Analytics. This is where you will input your Measurement ID.
  • Enter Your Measurement ID: Paste your Google Analytics Measurement ID into the designated field. Ensure there are no typos or spaces before or after the ID.
  • Save Your Changes: After entering your Measurement ID, save the changes to your website settings. This action will initiate the integration of Google Analytics with your Builderall website.
  • (Optional) Create Extra Properties: to track a different website, create a new property and use the correspondent Measurement ID. This prevents GA from conflating the data.

Verify the Integration

To ensure that Google Analytics is properly integrated and tracking data from your Builderall website:

  • Visit Your Website: After saving your changes, visit your website to generate some initial traffic data.
  • Check Google Analytics: Log into your Google Analytics account and navigate to the Realtime report section to see if your visit is being tracked. If you see your activity reflected there, congratulations! You've successfully integrated Google Analytics with your Builderall website.

Final Thoughts

Adding Google Analytics to your website can give you great insights. However, ask yourself: is Google Analytics the right tool for you?

GA is an overpowered solution for straightforward analytics. If you're looking for a simple and intuitive dashboard with the insights you need, there are better alternatives. Yes, I’m talking about my own product (Simple Analytics), but there are others out there as well.

I hated using Google Analytics for my projects. It's clunky, there are hundreds of dashboards and it doesn't look appealing. Also Google doesn't care about privacy or ethics. That's why I decided to build my own and more intuitive web analytics tool.

If this resonates with you, feel free to give Simple Analytics a spin. You just need to add the script to your website and off you go. This takes about one minute- and there is a free version as well!

Enjoy!
