Navigating the world of Google Analytics (GA) and Google Tag Manager (GTM) can seem overwhelming. This guide simplifies the setup process for your Umso site.
Google Analytics Setup
Go to Google Analytics and create an account.
When creating a property, input your site's domain for clarity.
Provide Business Details and select "Generate Leads" for Business Objectives. For Data Collection, choose "Web".
Set up a data stream for your site to add the Google Analytics tag.
Note down your Measurement ID.
In the Umso Site Editor:
- Legacy Editor: Go to Integrations > Google Analytics.
- New Editor: Visit Site Settings > Third Party Integrations.
Paste the Measurement ID.
Publish your site, wait a few minutes, then check Google Analytics for incoming data.
Google Tag Manager Setup
Register at Google Tag Manager using the same email as GA for consistency.
Under the "Accounts" tab, click "Create Account", accept the terms, and note your GTM ID (e.g., GTM-5L4THSJZ).
In the Umso Site Editor, paste the GTM ID in the same integration section as GA.
Publish your site.
Event Tracking with GTM
Add a variable to your GTM container to trigger.
Go to Variables > Clicks > Select "Click Text".
Connect GTM to GA
Click on "Tags" then "New".
Name it (e.g., "GA4 - Config").
Input the GA Measurement ID from step 1e. (same used in your Umso site)
For Triggering, select "All Pages".
Set up an event trigger
Go to Triggers > New > Trigger Type > "Just Links".
Select "Some Links Clicks". In the picker, choose "Click Text", then type "Get Started" (or your button's text).
Save it
Test your setup
In GTM, click "Preview", input your site URL, and open your site.
Click the designated button on your site, close the preview, and click on "Link Click" in GTM.
Check if your event has fired. If so, click "Submit" in GTM.
View your event in GA under the "Realtime" tab.
