Website Pro now supports connecting to Google Analytics 4. With the sunset of Universal Analytics on July 1st, 2023, we have now provided the option for users to attach their Google Analytics 4 account to Website Pro and have the data collected by Google Analytics 4 displayed in the analytics tab of your dashboard.
After you have created a new Google Analytics 4 account at http://analytics.google.com/ and hooked that account up to your website using the instructions in your Google Analytics portal, you will be able to connect your new Google Analytics 4 account up to your website.
1. Go to your Website Pro dashboard
2. Click on the Analytics tab
3. Click on Connect Google Analytics
4. Click on the Plus symbol next to the Google Analytics (GA4) connector
5. Click on Select for the matching Google Analytics Property
After you connect your new Google Analytics 4 account, the charts will be empty for the first day while Google Analytics 4 collects and aggregates data for you for your first day of activity. Once that work has been completed by Google Analytics 4, Website Pro will be able to start populating the data in the Analytics tab of the dashboard.
Following this release there is still some work to be done to change the default Google Analytics account to use GA4 instead of Universal Analytics. This work will be completed in the coming weeks.
We are excited about this step towards retiring the existing Universal Analytics integration and polishing up the functionality we have already released.
