Wow! Great teacher. After all these years of frustrations, you explained so well how to go about site google, google analytics and search console. You are just amazing. Appreciate you. Thank you so much.
Hi Stewart. Thank you for your video. I noticed that, in your video, the same warning in orange that appears on my Google Site property appears at 6:04, saying, "Data collection isn't active for your website. If you installed tags more than 47 hours ago, make sure that they are set up correctly. View tag instructions. When I click on View realtime (as you show in your video), my navigation on the website appears! But when I go to Data Streams > Data Collection > Collect website and app data, it says "DATA NOT FLOWING" Is this right? I am really lost on this point. I have another site through Wix, and it doesn't have this message on its GA4 property settings. Really thank you for your time, it is a nice video, and it helped me a lot! Danielle
Mines too. It's like all the UA-cam videos just seem to ignore that casually while it really doesn't work with the instructions they have given us. I'm lost trying to find out this step
Stewart you re the man! this worked perfectly.. I have a question for your I tried to link google analytics 4 to my paid domain name and something curious happened---I have two computers-.. i only can see the data running in one of the computers..could I remove google analytics 4 and go through the whole process again? .. I have already figured out what went wrong I typed the wrong country....😶
I understand it's ok to have one analytics account for several sites but do you recommend that? You did say to make sure we're logged into the gmail account so that would mean if I have 5 sites then they would all have the same google/gmail account?
Cool and useful content. I got a chalenge for you: How can i do for don't show the home page at menu and taht just the logo index works as home link? Thnx
@@StewartGauld I want put invisible the principal page at menu. Just the header logo as home link. When I try to do this, always Google Sites replaces other page as principal page. If you see, any page at menu we can put it hided it except the page that is as principal page (or home page). And the setting for principal page don't show hideing option from menu visualy. My english it's limited. Sorry for that and I hope you understand this. Thanx for your time.
@ 9:11 I am in the process of verifying google search console but i am prompted to download file to upload to the URL address I requested to be verified. Did I miss a step. Please help.
Thank you for this usefull video! I have a question about cookies and consent. Is it possible to activate a popup window at the site entrance for data collection consent? With Law 25 and the RGPD we need to be compliant. But I don't see how with Google Site, if so, I've missed some information! Thank you! :)
It appears that setup requires the tags to be added to the HTML but there is no way to do this. I get the error on the Analytics page: Home No data received from your website yet. To start collecting data make sure your website is tagged using the Measurement ID:
how long does it take for my google sites website to show up on the web after I publish it, I published my website from google sites I got the all is ok, basically the confirmation that it was published but my website does not show up after typing in my url, do I need to wait.
Do you know if there is a way to run both UA and GA4 in parallel for new Google Sites? I know Google recommends running both in parallel, but I cannot find an option to do this.
Hey Abigail, Basically, if you already have UA installed then you would setup GA4 in addition to UA. However, if you don't already have UA installed just use GA4.
didn't work for me, I've settled all like you did, but it keeps saying I need to configure something, and no data was collected. I've migrated from another system to google sites, I had to delete the previous analytics account... I don't know if this has something to do with the problem
Why ignore that orange message bar. No explanation about that at all???? And we need this so it can function properly. Not sure how anyone has been able to set this up without it
@@StewartGauld The one at 07:17 I guess. I've followed your steps and have set up everything just like you did ( I too had the orange bar, I guess you too would). But at my Google Analytics Home section it shows "No data received from your website yet (I have already visited it multiple times via incognito browsers). To start collecting data make sure your website is tagged using the Measurement ID" ( unlike yours at 7:23) . I have cross checked that the measurement ID has been enabled in my google site. Should I wait for sometime (like 24 or 48hrs ) before data collection gets activated. Your help is much appreciated :)
Thank you. Question: If I created a site using Google Sites, but have a custom URL, do you use the sites.google site, or the custom URL when setting up Google Analytics? Thank you in advance.
Wow! Great teacher. After all these years of frustrations, you explained so well how to go about site google, google analytics and search console. You are just amazing. Appreciate you. Thank you so much.

@@StewartGauld 5:50 beautifully explained
Thank you for your video :) can you tell me why the tags seem to work on my google site but when i go to preview it says that the tag not found? 😞
Thanks! That's odd. I'll have to look into that.

Hi Danielle,
Thanks for that. I will have to look back into this.
Mines too. It's like all the UA-cam videos just seem to ignore that casually while it really doesn't work with the instructions they have given us. I'm lost trying to find out this step
Yeah, something is missing because mine is doing the same thing. I don’t know where to paste the code into my pages
Thanks a lot for this video! One question, does this means that I don't need to add the google analytics tag to every page of the New Google Site?
Yes correct!
Thx super ez tutorial
Thanks!
Stewart you re the man! this worked perfectly.. I have a question for your I tried to link google analytics 4 to my paid domain name and something curious happened---I have two computers-.. i only can see the data running in one of the computers..could I remove google analytics 4 and go through the whole process again? .. I have already figured out what went wrong I typed the wrong country....😶
Hey,
So you have sorted this? You only need to install GA4 once.
@@StewartGauld it seems I wrote the wrong country, I have already fixed it, but, I have to wait for 48 hours to know for sure
I understand it's ok to have one analytics account for several sites but do you recommend that? You did say to make sure we're logged into the gmail account so that would mean if I have 5 sites then they would all have the same google/gmail account?
Hey mate,
Yes you want to use one Google account and create multiple accounts within your Google Analytics.
@@StewartGauld thank you. And when I'm about to run google ads there will be no issues?
Great information, thank you! Are you able to add a FB Pixel to a Google Site?
Hey Dee,
yes you can!
Hey mate,
You sure can!
Hi I have also set up a domain that connects to the google site will traffic from people accessing the site through the domain also show up?
Hey,
Yes, this is direct traffic.
Cool and useful content. I got a chalenge for you: How can i do for don't show the home page at menu and taht just the logo index works as home link? Thnx
Thanks! I'm not quite sure what you mean mate.

Hmm that's odd. I'll have to look into that.
Thank you for this usefull video! I have a question about cookies and consent. Is it possible to activate a popup window at the site entrance for data collection consent? With Law 25 and the RGPD we need to be compliant. But I don't see how with Google Site, if so, I've missed some information! Thank you! :)
Thanks, I would add this information into your terms and conditions pages.
@@StewartGauld Ho! So the popup window is not an obligation? I thought it was! So, in which situation is it a need? THANK'S
Will it work on a school account site?
I DID IT
Sure will!
I'm glad!
It appears that setup requires the tags to be added to the HTML but there is no way to do this. I get the error on the Analytics page:
Home
No data received from your website yet.
To start collecting data make sure your website is tagged using the Measurement ID:
Hey!
Will look into this. Thanks!
hello sir.what about SEO for Google site
This is limited. However, I can create a tutorial on this.
how long does it take for my google sites website to show up on the web after I publish it, I published my website from google sites I got the all is ok, basically the confirmation that it was published but my website does not show up after typing in my url, do I need to wait.
It shouldn't take long at all. Is it showing up now?
@@StewartGauld stiil nothing is showing up posted on 1/16/2025 on 1/19/2024 still nothing shows.
G guide.
Thanks!
Where do you put the Google Tag on the Google Site?
You cannot unfortunately.
Do you know if there is a way to run both UA and GA4 in parallel for new Google Sites? I know Google recommends running both in parallel, but I cannot find an option to do this.
Hey Abigail,
Basically, if you already have UA installed then you would setup GA4 in addition to UA. However, if you don't already have UA installed just use GA4.

That is odd. Did you try again? Make sure your domain is added in correctly.
Thanks but u should have explained how to verify google console with the analytics
I did. At the end :)
I don't have a business, I just want to be shown (my site) to google search? Is there a way?
Once you are like it will be online.
Yesterday I checked and is online, without doing anything!!!
Why ignore that orange message bar. No explanation about that at all???? And we need this so it can function properly. Not sure how anyone has been able to set this up without it
What orange bar are you talking about?
@@StewartGauld The one at 07:17 I guess. I've followed your steps and have set up everything just like you did ( I too had the orange bar, I guess you too would).

Should I wait for sometime (like 24 or 48hrs ) before data collection gets activated. Your help is much appreciated :)
Thank you. Question: If I created a site using Google Sites, but have a custom URL, do you use the sites.google site, or the custom URL when setting up Google Analytics? Thank you in advance.
Welcome!
You would your the custom domain if it's connected.
