✅ Step 1: Create a Google Analytics 4 Property

  1. Go to Google Analytics.

  2. Click Admin (⚙️ gear icon in the lower-left corner).

  3. Under Account, choose or create your account.

  4. Under Property, click + Create Property.

  5. Fill in:

    • Property name (e.g., My Blogger Blog)

    • Time zone and currency

  6. Click Next, choose your industry and size, then click Create.

✅ Step 2: Set Up a Data Stream

  1. After creating the property, click "Web" (for website tracking).

  2. Enter your Blogger blog URL (e.g., https://yourblog.blogspot.com) and a stream name.

  3. Click Create Stream.

✅ Step 3: Get Your GA4 Measurement ID

  1. After creating the data stream, you'll see a Measurement ID like G-XXXXXXXXXX.

  2. Copy it. You’ll need this for your Blogger template.

✅ Step 4: Add GA4 to Your Blogger Blog

There are two ways to add GA4 to Blogger:

Option A: Add GA4 via HTML <head> (Recommended for accuracy)

  1. In Blogger, go to Theme > click the down arrow next to the "Customize" button > choose Edit HTML.

  2. Look for the </head> tag in your template.

  3. Just above </head>, paste the following code (replace G-XXXXXXXXXX with your ID):

    html
    <!-- Google tag (gtag.js) -->
    <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-XXXXXXXXXX"></script>
    <script>
      window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
      function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
      gtag('js', new Date());
      gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXXX');
    </script>

  4. Save the theme.

✅ Step 5: Test Your Setup

  1. Go back to your GA4 property.

  2. Click Admin > Data Streams > Your Stream.

  3. Use “View tag instructions” to check if the tag is active.

  4. Visit your blog in another tab.

  5. In GA4, go to Reports > Realtime and check if your visit shows up.

Optional: Verify with Google Tag Assistant

Use the Tag Assistant Chrome extension to confirm your GA4 tag is firing correctly on your Blogger page.

🔁 Notes

  • GA4 vs Universal Analytics: GA4 is the new standard; older Universal Analytics is deprecated.

  • Blogger's built-in Analytics setting only supports Universal Analytics, not GA4. So manual insertion is necessary for GA4.

  • It may take a few hours before full data appears in your GA4 dashboard.
