How to Use Google Analytics for Your Etsy Shop

Google Analytics* shows the volume of traffic to your website from different traffic sources, and can be configured to show helpful data like what keywords are bringing buyers to your listings. This is a free service available to all Etsy sellers, but it requires a separate account with Google.

Google Analytics is a third-party tracking tool and is not operated by Etsy. If you are having trouble with your Analytics account, please contact Google support. 

How to set up a website profile

Create a Google Analytics account if you don’t have one already. Once you have a Google Analytics account, you can set up your website profile:

1. Sign in to your Google Analytics account and select Admin from the menu.
2. Select Create Property. Enter your shop’s name in the Property Name field. 
3. Select your time zone and currency from the dropdown menus.
4. Enter your industry category and business size in the Business details section. 
5. Check the boxes next to any business objectives you want to achieve with your analytics, such as driving online sales or raising brand awareness. 
6. Select Create. 
7. Select Web and enter the URL for your Etsy shop in the Website URL field (etsy.com/shop/YourEtsyShopName). 
8. Enter a name for your data stream, then select Create Stream. 
9. Once your web stream is set up, record or copy the Google ID tag under Measurement ID. Your ID will appear in this format: G-XXXXXXXXXX

If you need help configuring your Google Analytics account, please review Google’s support centre.
