This tutorial covers how to create your Free Google Analytics Account, Create a Google Analytics Property, Create an Analytics Account ID, and how to install it on your website with Blazonco.

Step 1
To begin, you'll need a Google Analytics account. To set up a Google Analytics account, go to https://analytics.google.com. If you already have a Google Analytics account, skip to step 5.

Step 2
To set up a Google Analytics account, you must first have a general Google Account. You can create a Google Account for yourself here
https://accounts.google.com/signup 

If you use Gmail or any other Google products, you most likely already have a Google account, as all of Google's products are linked together in this way. To make the Analytics sign up easier, go ahead and sign into your Google account on your browser by clicking this link: https://myaccount.google.com/

Step 3
Once you've created your general Google Account, return to https://analytics.google.com. Google will walk you through setting up your Google Analytics account.

Step 4
Follow the steps to create your Google Analytics account. This will involve entering your website name, website address, industry category, and a few other details. If you aren't sure what to do, Google's support section can help. (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1042508)

Property: Should just be your Website address, you will have the choice to chose between an "http" and "https" before you enter your domain name. You must ensure that your site is using https and is secured with a Security Certificate prior to selecting https in this step. (See step titled "See how to correctly format your domain name" from the Google support instructions)

Tracking ID: All you need to set up the Google Analytic's Add On offered to you with your Blazonco website, is locate your Analytics ID.  Check out these instructions:

It should look like this:

UA-xxxxxxxx-x  

You can email that to support@blazonco.com and we can do the rest for you, or:
