Pagebuild Website Builder

You have your Pagebuild website up and running, but how do you know how well your site is performing?

This is where traffic tracking comes in. There are many great traffic tracking tools out there, but one of the most popular is Google Analytics. Setup is easy - you register a free account (or use your existing Google account), create a profile for your website, and put a bit of code into your site. Google Analytics then tracks your visitor traffic sources, page views, most popular content, and pretty much any other statistic you could imagine ever needing or wanting to see.

Here at Pagebuild we've made it easy to install Google Analytics on your site with our easy to use website builder.

Log in with or register your Google account

Go to www.google.com/analytics and click on “Sign Up Now” if you don’t have one, or sign in with your existing account. You will be required to verify your email address if creating a new account.

Sign up for Google Analytics

1. After creating or logging in with a Google account, you will be taken to the Google Analytics signup page. Click on “Sign Up”.
2. Enter your website address, website name, country, and time zone on the next page and click “Continue”.
3. Next, enter your contact information.
