Google Analytics

How does it work?

When you connect Google Analytics (GA), ManageWP retrieves data (sessions, users, pageviews, traffic sources, top pages, etc.) from the selected property and displays it in your dashboard. We automatically match GA properties to your websites in ManageWP.

The data access is read-only and ManageWP doesn’t change anything in your GA account. We can only see and read your data.

GA insights can also be included in Client Reports for your customers.

New to ManageWP? Here’s how to get started!

  • Connect Google Analytics to ManageWP

    1. In the top-right corner, click your avatar, then click Settings.
    2. Select the 3rd Party Services tab.
    3. Click Google Analytics.
    4. Select the Google account you want to connect.
    5. Review ManageWP’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, then click Continue.
    6. Click Continue again to confirm. You’ll get an email once the connection is successful.
    7. (Optional) Scroll down and click Show GA connection summary. Here you can see a list of websites that don’t have GA4 properties attached to them and click on each URL to associate it with the correct property.

  • Change the associated property

    1. In your dashboard, go to the website where you want to make the change.
    2. In the top-left corner, click Settings.
    3. Under Google Analytics property, click the field to select the property you want to associate with this website.
    4. Click Save Changes.

  • Customize dashboard and report metrics

    Here’s how to choose four metrics from your Google Analytics account to display on the single site dashboard. By default, we’ll show average session duration, views per session, bounce rate, and 7-day active users, but you can customize this to fit your needs.

    1. In your dashboard, go to the website where you want to make the change.
    2. In the top-left corner, click Settings.
    3. Select Google Analytics tab.
    4. Under Customize dashboard and report metrics, choose the metrics you want to display.
    5. Click Save Changes.
