Setting Up Site Kit Google Analytics

Starting from your WordPress Dashboard, click “Site Kit” in the left vertical navigation bar. Click Sign in with Google.

Site Kit tab selected in the Site Dashboard, the Sign in with Google button is highlighted.

Choose the Google account that you’d like to set up Google Analytics with. Next, Google will ask you to select the permissions you want to grant, “Select what Site Kit can access” → Use the “Select All” checkbox.

On the Site Kit setup screen:

  1. For “Have Google verify site ownership” → click “Verify”
  2. For “Turn on metrics in your dashboard” → click “Allow”
  3. For “Set up Search Console” → click “Set up”
  4. For “Set up Google Analytics” → click “Next”
Site Kit setup screen with the first step shown.

You’ll be redirected back to the Site Kit plugin screen. If your email address is already tied to a Google Analytics account for another site, this should be all the setup you need to complete. However, if you’ve never created a Google Analytics account, you’ll need to continue below.

Set Up a Google Analytics Account

If this is your first Google Analytics account connection to Site Kit click on “Connect Service”. Use the account dropdown → select “Set up new account”.

In the “Create your Analytics account” page → click “Create Account”. Choose the Google account that you’d like to set up Google Analytics with → click Continue on each screen.

On the “Google Analytics Terms of Service Agreement”

  • Click the checkbox, “I also accept the Data Processing Terms as required by GDPR. Learn more”
  • Click the checkbox “I accept the Measurement Controller-Controller Data Protection Terms for the data that I share with Google.”
  • Click “I Accept” → click “Go Back to Dashboard”.
