Adding Google Analytics is the best way to track how visitors interact with a website. In this article I will show you a simple way to install GA on a WordPress site via a plugin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Index<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#instalando-ga-wp-plugin\" data-level=\"2\">Installing GA on WordPress using a plugin<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n<p>Before we get down to the practical part, let&#8217;s take a look at what Google Analytics is, what it does, and how it works. If you prefer, <a href=\"#instalando-ga-wp-plugin\">skip to the part about installing GA on WP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Google Analytics?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Google Analytics is the most popular and possibly the most complete web analytics tool on the market. It is a free Google tool (also available in a premium version with differentiated features) for analyzing the behavior of a site&#8217;s visitor. <\/p>\n\n<p>Google Analytics allows you to collect and analyze visitor browsing data providing valuable insights for your business and digital strategy.  <\/p>\n\n<p>With GA you can measure data such as number of visitors, page views, conversions, frequency and recency, sales, campaign results, events within the site, and much more. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why use Google Analytics on WordPress?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Understanding the behavior of a site&#8217;s visitors is key to increasing traffic and conversions. This is true for all sites, regardless of the platform used.  <\/p>\n\n<p>With Google Analytics you have access to information about your site and visitor behavior. In this way, your decision making becomes data-driven and not only driven by your own &#8220;hunches&#8221; or those of the stakeholders to whom you may be offering this service.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does Google Analytics work?<\/h2>\n\n<p>To track and collect visitor data, you will need to implement a tracking code on your site. This tracking code is obtained from your Google Analytics account. If you don&#8217;t have a GA account yet, I suggest reading <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/analytics\/answer\/1008015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"deste artigo de suporte do Google (opens in a new tab)\">this Google support article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Every time someone accesses your site, the tracking code is triggered and starts collecting data from the visitor and his session.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you want to understand a bit more about how GA collects data read <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"este outro artigo de suporte do Google (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/analytics\/resources\/concepts\/gaConceptsTrackingOverview\" target=\"_blank\">this other Google support article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ways to implement GA in WordPress<\/h2>\n\n<p>There are several ways to implement the Google Analytics tracking code. Here are a few:<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Directly in header.php<\/h3>\n\n<p>You can enter the tracking code directly through <code>header.php<\/code> of the theme you are using. This is a solution that requires some technical knowledge and extra care because any slip-up when editing <code>header.php<\/code> can break your site. Remember that you can also do this (insert the code on <code>header.php<\/code>) using a plugin.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using functions.php<\/h3>\n\n<p>Perhaps the least usual way to implement Google Analytics in WordPress but it is worth mentioning. As with the <code>header.php<\/code> editing method this method requires editing files in the theme used or using a snippet to add the tracking code to the site&#8217;s head.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Google Tag Manager  <\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>This is my favorite method! Not only for its ease but also for the countless customization possibilities that come with it<\/strong>. Through this method you ensure that your implementation will not be lost after a template update or a misconfiguration\/ misuse of the analytics plugin.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"leia-tambem\">Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/dilmarames.com\/google-analytics-via-google-tag-manager\/\">How to install Google Analytics using Google Tag Manager<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Through a plugin<\/h3>\n\n<p>Possibly the most practical way and the recommended way for beginners. Beware! There are several plugins in WP for just about any functionality. Choose a well-regarded and quality plugin so as not to compromise the performance of the site and also of the Google Analytics implementation.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"instalando-ga-wp-plugin\">Installing GA on WordPress using a plugin<\/h2>\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, there are plugins for just about any functionality in WordPress. To install Google Analytics is no different.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Explaining how to install Google Analytics on WordPress with each plugin would be very time consuming. I have also mentioned before that you should look to work with quality plugins to ensure that your site runs smoothly.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"leia-tambem\">Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/dilmarames.com\/plugins-para-wordpress-essenciais\/\">WordPress Plugins Every Website Should Use<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>Some people claim that the more plugins installed the lower the performance of the site. This is only true if the quality of the installed plugins is not good. Along these lines, my suggestion, among the many options available in the WordPress plugins directory, is to use the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"MonsterInsights (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.monsterinsights.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">MonsterInsights<\/a> plugin.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"schema-how-to wp-block-yoast-how-to-block\"><p class=\"schema-how-to-total-time\"><span class=\"schema-how-to-duration-time-text\">Tempo necess\u00e1rio para esta implementa\u00e7\u00e3o:&nbsp;<\/span>5 minutes<\/p><p class=\"schema-how-to-description\">Installing Google Analytics on WordPress using a plugin<\/p> <ol class=\"schema-how-to-steps\"><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1571862797202\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Installing the MonsterInsights plugin<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Naturally, to install Google Analytics on WordPress via a plugin we need to add a plugin.

Here are a few:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enable or disable the capture of visitor demographic data;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add domains for cross-domain tracking;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disable tracking for some types of users (don&#8217;t track activities of site administrators for example);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enable or disable reports in the WordPress dashboard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The premium version of the plugin is quite robust and can save a few hours on advanced tracking implementations. Such implementations, in most cases, can be achieved by implementing GA via GTM.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Validating the GA installation<\/h2>\n\n<p>There are a few ways for you to test that GA has been installed correctly. My recommendation is that you use Google&#8217;s own extension for this verification: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/get.google.com\/tagassistant\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tag Assistant<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Install the extension.
