Step 1 – Create a gmail account or go to https://analytics.google.com

Step 4 – After you have accepted everything, you are going to create a Stream. That’s basically the code you need to place via Google Tag Manager or hardcoded on the website using the GTag if that’s your preference. Most go for option 1 via Google Tag Manager. If you don’t have a Tag manager yet, follow this link.

Step 6 – You have now received a measurement id and you are going to add it in Google Tag Manager.

Step 7 – Next, go to Google Tag Manager and in the Tag Manager add a new GA4 Configuration Tag containing your measurement id that starts with a G-XXXXXXXX. As a trigger, choose All pages, or if using a Consent, All Pages Consent Initialization.
