Overview
Analytics allows you to see the number of users that visit your site, including what pages they're visiting and what technology and demography they have.
By default your website will have a Parish Online tracking ID. This is used for general analysis of our customer's websites.
Set up tracking with Google Analytics
If you already have a Google Analytics account, log in and find your Tracking ID.
If you don't have a Google Analytics account, use your gov.uk email address to register for a Google Account and sign up to Google Analytics. This is free to do.
- Go to https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/ and follow the process for setting up a Google Analytics account. We recommend using a gov.uk email address, so the account is owned by the council.
- Once you have a Tracking ID (Measurement ID), send it to support@parish-online.co.uk and we'll add it to your account.

- Log into your Website Admin Panel
- Click on General in the left-hand panel
