Step 1: Access Google Analytics
First things first, head over to the Google Analytics website. If you're a returning user, you'll find this process a breeze. For the newbies, you'll need to create an account. Follow the on-screen instructions, and soon you'll land on a page that displays your Analytics accounts and properties.
Step 2: Navigate to the Admin Section
Once you're in, look for the 'Admin' button—this is your control center. Here, you'll see your Analytics account and properties. If you're new, you might see just one account, the one you've just created, without any properties.
Step 3: Create a Property for Autobidder
Properties in Google Analytics represent the different resources you want to track—like your website, a funnel, or in our case, AutoBidder. To create a property:
- Click on 'Create Property'.
- Name it (I suggest "AutoBidder" for clarity).
- Fill out the necessary business information.
Step 4: Set Up Your Property
After setting up your property, you'll need to add the specific link of your AutoBidder landing page. This ensures that the data collected is directly from your Autobidder platform.
Step 5: Find Your Tracking Code
Post-setup, you'll need the tracking code to link Autobidder with Google Analytics. You might see this immediately on the homepage, or you may need to:
- Go back to the 'Admin' section.
- Click on 'Data Streams'.
- Select the AutoBidder property you created.
Here, you'll find your 'Measurement ID' or tracking code.
Step 6: Copy the Tracking Code
Copy the tracking code provided. This is the key to connecting both platforms.
Step 7: Integrate with Autobidder
Now, switch over to your Autobidder account:
- Navigate to the 'Calibrate' page.
- Go to the 'Logic' tab.
- Toggle Google Tracking to 'ON'.
- Paste the tracking code into the designated field.
And voilà! Your Google Analytics is now connected to Autobidder.
