Google Analytics + Search Console

Philip Borrowman · March 15, 2021

As your site grows, you have to measure the traffic and data that comes in. using Google Analytics and the Search Console is the best way to do that. Follow along to get these set up properly.

WHAT YOU ARE DOING

  • Add your Privacy Policy to your Contact Us page as I show you in the video.
  • Add the “s” to the site address bar as I show you and update any plugins which needs updating.
  • Delete any old themes you are not using on your site.
  • Set your Privacy Policy inside the “Privacy” page inside the “Settings” tab.
  • Create a new Gmail account. You only need ONE Gmail account to control ALL your Google properties, including YouTube Channel, Google Analytics, Google Drive, Google Search Console and so on.
  • Create a Google Analytics account using your new Gmail account. Set it up as I show you.
  • Create a Google Search Console account using your new Gmail account. Set it up as I show you.
  • Submit your sitemap to Google as I show you in the tutorial above.

It’s time to move to the next step in the Action Plan!

  1. Google analytic and search console both linked to the SEO module on my website is a WHOLE NEW WORLD to me! Thank you Philip ?

    I could have NEVER done all that by myself fantastic!

  2. Hi Philip, things were going swimmingly but when verifying I got the green verified through google analytics popup I did not get the next scene as you did. Do I still need to paste code onto the site? Thanks

      1. I will keep going for sure. The popup is right after you add the URL in the right box and it is timestamp 14:56. I did not receive it but got the message that I was verified by Google Analytics with the green success bar. Thanks Philip, I will include a timestamp in the future.

  3. Hi Philip, I went through the whole video, but had one problem. I went to Google in incognito mode and clicked on a few pages of my website, but when I went to Google Analytics my stats still said zero. Any idea where I screwed up? Thanks!

    1. Hard for me to say. I would email the support for the plugin and ask them, they can give you the help you need as I cannot see what you have done. If anything in my video is outdated do let me know.

  4. Thank You, Sir Philip. I’m getting excited, for the next step and my understanding getting clear to wards the direction on this journey. Thank you, Sir Philip. Sir, I received (REBILLS) not open yet because I’m busy concentrating this one first.

  5. Does it matter if I have All in one SEO plugin? The reason I ask is I have had my website up for a few months but I use Rank Math and I was able to follow your steps to connect my analytics and to sitemaps.
