If you would like to obtain more detailed and targeted website statistics than are available using the in-built option provides, you can sign up for Google Analytics for free. Once you have created your account, send us an email with the code provided by Google, so we can add this to your website, enabling you to gather analytics through your Google account.
Google Analytics is a valuable tool for measuring user interactions on your website, which can potentially help identify various types of user activity. Our role, as a collaborative partner, is to integrate the Google Analytics code into our CMS code, enabling the connection between the two platforms. However, it is important to note that our team does not provide direct support for Google Analytics, and any setup issues would need to be addressed by your internal team or a Google Analytics specialist.
Using Google Analytics to set alerts for specific website traffic
To automate the monitoring of user interactions, you can set up Goals in Google Analytics. This involves creating custom events for the specific interactions you want to track, such as downloading files, visiting specific pages, or clicking certain buttons. Once you've set up event tracking, you can configure the Goal details to match the custom events you've created.
By setting up Goals, Google Analytics can automatically track specified user interactions as goal conversions, allowing you to monitor these in the "Conversions" reports. Additionally, you can create custom segments, custom reports, and custom alerts to further refine your data and receive notifications when specific conditions are met.
Remember that using Google Analytics to monitor user interactions is only one aspect of understanding your website's performance. It's essential to maintain high standards and be prepared for any situation, regardless of your website's analytics data.
Google tag code
The code that you will be provided by Google will look something like this:
<!-- Google tag (gtag.js) --> <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-16BM9R3XXX"></script>
<script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'G-16BM9R3XXX'); </script>
