Linking Google Analytics to your Marketplace

Arcadier Support
Updated

 

Google Analytics is a freemium web analytics service that helps you analyze visitor traffic so that you can better reach out to your target audience and meet their needs. It's a platform that connects to every page on your website and helps you to unlock insightful data through various dashboards and reports.  

 

Google Analytics can provide you with the routes people take to reach your site, the content they viewed, and even the devices they used to get there. Find out more about Google Analytics here: https://www.google.com/analytics/analytics/#?modal_active=none

 

Currently, Arcadier only supports the Universal Analytics property for Google Analytics (i.e. your tracking code should start with UA-, not G-).

 

To connect your Google Analytics to Arcadier, you’ll first need to have a Google Analytics property already set up. Simply go to the Google Analytics tab under Analytics/SEO in your admin portal, 

  • Fill in your Google Analytics Tracking ID
  • Fill in your Google View ID 
  • Sign in with your Google account that has the Google Analytics property to complete the connection

    • Do note that the tracking ID has to start with UA- and not G-
    • If your tracking ID is showing G- we recommend creating a new Google Analytics property with the instructions above.

Where can I find my View ID?

  1. Under the dashboard page, in the Admin tab look at the View column
  2. Go to "View Settings"

    • Ensure that the Website's URL matches your marketplace URL (e.g. marketplace.arcadier.io)
    • All your Arcadier marketplace analytics will be sent to this view
    • If you do not see the View column, you might not be using a Universal Analytics property, do check and create a new property with the instructions above if so
