Yes! We are more than happy to add Google Analytics to your website, but first, you need to set up a Google account and get your GA code.

This Google page explains the process: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7476135?hl=en 

WARNING: Google are dreadful at explaining simple things in simple ways: If they wrote the instructions for making toast you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a complex task that will take hours and require specialist equipment! 

The process for getting your GA code tends to change from time to time, so it's impossible for us to put a guide here. Still, there are usually some excellent video tutorials out there, so try searching for "how to get google analytics code". 

The code we will need from you will take two forms. You might want to send us the entire code, which will look like this...

<!-- Global Site Tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=GA_MEASUREMENT_ID"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'YOUR UNIQUE CODE SHOULD BE HERE');
</script>
 

Or just your unique GA code, which will look something like this...

The other thing we should warn you about is that once it's all set up the actual data Google will give you about your site performance and visitors is hugely complex. You need a degree is "Google-speak" to make sense of most of it. Plus, if you want to see critical things like your popular search terms, you have to pay Google for this data!
