Google Analytics helps you analyze visitor traffic and paint a complete picture of your audience and their engagement with user-generated content.

Install the Google Analytics Plugin. This plugin makes it easier to track specific types of events, which you can analyze further to find engagement levels for specific content and widgets.

Start the configuration by entering a Google Analytics tracking ID. This must be a Universal Analytics tracking ID (e.g. UA-12345678-1). This code can be found on the Admin &gt; Property &gt; Property Settings section of Google Analytics under the Tracking ID field, or follow the instructions in this <a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1032385?hl=en" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Google Analytics help guide</a>.

- NOTE: If you'd like to first test the Google Analytics integration within the widget, we recommend you generate a separate "staging" tracking ID to test with. This will ensure you do not affect your production analytics with false information during the staging process.
