Start in Google Analytics

1. Start in the admin section of your Google Analytics account.

2. Select the property you would like to track. We already have a property and measurement ID established. If you do not have a property created, use the + Create Property button to make one and then resume these steps.

3. Navigate to Data Streams, and select the appropriate data stream to view Web stream details.

4. Copy the Measurement ID.

Navigate to Google Tag Manager

If you do not have a Google Tag Manager account, we highly recommend creating one! Tag Manager is the best way to embed JavaScript tracking on your website. At RivalMind, all JavaScript tracking we employ is implemented through Tag Manager, including click tracking, conversion tracking, scroll tracking, and video tracking.

1. Click Add new tag. Every tracking code is comprised of a tag and must start here.

2. Rename the tag Google Analytics (or another name that will help you remember the purpose of the tag).

3. Click Tag Type, and select Google Analytics GA4 Configuration.

4. In Measurement ID, paste your Google Analytics ID.

5. Make sure “Send a page view event when this configuration loads” is checked.

6. Scroll to Triggering; click on Choose a trigger.

7. In the top right corner, click the + to create a new trigger.

8. Rename your trigger Duda PageView Trigger.

9. Select Choose a trigger type, and select Custom Event.

10. In the Event name text box, type “dPageView.” This is a Duda-specific page view trigger. Click Save.

11. Confirm that your Duda PageView Trigger has been added to the Triggering section of your Google Analytics tag. Click Save.

12. In your primary Tag Manager view, click Submit. If desired, add a Version Name or Version Description to track your changes, then click Publish. 

Jump Into Duda!

1. Navigate to your Duda editor; select Settings – Head HTML. This is where your Tag Manager code will live – and, indirectly, our Google Analytics code will live here too. Paste your Tag Manager code into the top of the Body end HTML box.

2. Republish your site to push all your changes live. Now, Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and your Duda website should all be working together.

Head Back to Google Analytics to Test Your Connection

1. In Google Analytics, navigate to Home to see real-time data.

2. Select Realtime overview.

3. Navigate to your live website.

4. In your Realtime overview, you should see 1 current visitor on your website – that’s you! This provides confirmation that your code is working properly.
