How to add users to your Biotech Google Analytics Account

Google Analytics is the gold standard when it comes to free tools to get the job done.

There is nothing more powerful to a marketing professional than Google Analytics (GA). Having the ability to make data-driven decisions to improve conversion rates, bounces rates, click-thru rates…etc. Google Analytics is the gold standard of free tools to get the job done with lead generation.

Google Analytics provides:

A complete picture of your website traffic even in real-time

The ability to harness Google’s machine learning capabilities to make data-driven decisions
The option to connect to many of the most popular tools in the Google suite including Google Ads, Data Studio, and Optimize
Reporting and sharing are made easy with sharable reports and an easy-to-use interface

GA enables tracking by generating and implementing a tracking tag on your website which is referred to as a property. Once this tag is installed in the HTML (or Google Tag Manager), Google Analytics can then record traffic data.

If you already have a Google Analytics instance, add users by following the steps below. If you do not already have an account, let us know and we will create one for you.
