Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is a powerful tool for persecution and analysis of website data, but the start can be a little confusing. A crucial component you need is your measurement -id. This clear identifier is essential for linking your GA4 property with your website or app. In this manual, we take you through the steps to find your measurement ID in GA4 to ensure that everything is set up correctly for effective data tracking.
What is a measurement ID?
The measurement ID is a clear identifier used in Google Analytics 4 to connect your website or app to your Analytics property. In contrast to tracking ID in Universal Analytics, the MessID is used especially in GA4 to ensure that the data between your website and your GA4 property flow seamlessly.
Find your measurement ID
Follow these steps to find your measurement ID in Google Analytics 4:
1. Register with Google Analytics
First you have to access your Google Analytics account. Go to the Google Analytics registration page and register with your login information. Make sure you are registered in the right Google account that has access to your GA4 properties.
2. Access to the Administrator section
As soon as you are in your Google Analytics account, navigate to the Admin section. You will find this in the lower left corner of the Google Analytics interface. Click the “Admin” symbol to continue.
3. Select the correct GA4 property
In the “Administrator” section you can see three columns: account, property and view. Under the “Property” column, select the GA4 property for which you need the measurement ID. If you have several properties, make sure that you select the selection relevant to the website or app.
4. Search the measurement -id
After you have selected your GA4 property, click on “data streams” under the column. You will be directed to a page on which you can see your data flows (web, iOS, Android). Click on the web data current when you follow a website.
On the “Data current details” page you will find your measurement ID, which is prominently listed at the top, usually in the format “G-XXXXXXXX”. Copy this measurement ID because you need it to set up the persecution on your website.
5. Check your measurement ID
It is important to check whether you have copied the correct measurement ID. Make sure that it matches the adjustments listed in the GA4 interface to avoid persecution problems. Check whether it is implemented correctly on your website or app.
Common problems and troubleshooting
If you encounter problems that find your measurement ID, take into account the following tips:
- Check the authorizations: Make sure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the GA4 property. If you cannot see the measurement ID, you may need to request access from the accountant administrator.
- Check GA4 Setup: Make sure that your GA4 property is correctly set up. If you only see Universal Analytics properties, you may need to create or change a GA4 property.
- Update and repetition: Sometimes a simple page can update or register in and back to the display problems.
Finding your measurement ID is an important step to set up Google Analytics 4 for effective data tracking. If you follow the steps described above, you can find this important identifier without any problems and make sure that your website or app is correctly linked to your GA4 property.
