Studio lets you connect the analytics tool Google Analytics (GA) on a per-site basis. This article explains everything from obtaining a Measurement ID to connecting it in Studio.
Note: Because Studio Analytics and Google Analytics use different measurement methods, their numbers won't match exactly (for example, Visitor counts may differ between the two).
Tips: Viewing GA data within Studio
After connecting GA, you can view GA data not only in GA itself but also on Studio's analytics dashboard. For details, see Viewing Google Analytics Data in Studio.
Connecting Google Analytics
With Studio, you can connect your project to either Google Analytics 4 or 3.
To connect, you will need a Tracking ID or Measurement ID. This article overviews how to check IDs on Google Analytics and integrate them into the Studio Apps.
