Description: For this project, I got to learn Google Analytics. Basically, it is a tool that can help with tracking the user that visits your website. It can give you a beautiful visual aid that displays different information about the user including the duration of their session and what types of activities they partake when they visit it.
Here are some lessons I learnt about Google Analytics.
1) It is easy to set up google analytics property with data stream in which it connects to a website. Just put a tag in the head of the HTML file. Then, the data collection method will be updated in GA with pretty graphs and everything like that.
2) There is Google Tag Manager that could potentially help with tracking with Google Analytics. The Google Tag Manager is a main hub for any tracking code that you want to add to your website including Google Ads Sense and Facebook Pixel.
3) The Google Analytics provide a very extensive tool for companies to know a lot about the users. They can even track different activities that the user perform from the website including whether they view search results, item list and promotions.
As an exercise of this project, I have worked on moving Google Analytics Account from LAITS to LAITS CMS in order to make it easy for a user group to access it.

Project Google Analytics
Started on: April 21, 2023
Staff Guidance: Stacy
Description: For this project, I needed to check if a website has google analytics or not. So I need to go to each website to install Site Kit and check if there is an existing Google Analytics Account associated with the website or not. If not, then the next step of this project is to actually create and link it to the website.
