Adding Google Analytics to your Dashboard

As you can see above, our Google Analytics integration allows you to conveniently view some of the most relevant traffic data in the detail view of your website. This information can also be used in reports. Watchful supports multiple Google Analytics accounts to best suit the needs/workflow at your agency.

Follow the instructions below to link your Google Analytics account to Watchful. 

Google Analytics

1. In your web browser, ensure you are logged into your Google Analytics account.

2. Be sure that the URL of your website(s) in Watchful exactly match the URL of the website(s) in Google Analytics. Google Analytics has two places to list your URL, and each must match Watchful:

  • Property Settings
