Google Analytics: copy your Measurement ID
See visitors, sources and pages. Copy the G- ID and paste it in your VIP tab.
Google Analytics (GA4) shows who visits your page and where they come from. You only need one thing: your Measurement ID.
Steps
- Open analytics.google.com and sign in. Create a GA4 property if you do not have one.
- Open Admin → Data streams and press Add stream → Web.
- Paste your page address (copy it from your VIP tab) and give the stream a name. Press Create stream.
- Copy the Measurement ID. It starts with
G-, for exampleG-AB12CD34EF. - In your VIP tab, paste it in the Google Analytics ID box.
- Save or send your page for review.
How to check it works
- When your page is live, open it in one browser tab.
- In Google Analytics open Reports → Realtime. You should see yourself within a minute.
Use the Measurement ID (it starts with G-). The older UA- numbers stopped working in 2023 and are not accepted.
Common problems
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Please check the Google Analytics ID | Copy only the ID, for example G-AB12CD34EF. No spaces, no extra words. |
| Realtime shows nothing | Your page may not be live yet. Ad blockers can also hide your own visit: try another browser or phone. |
