Adding Analytics to your Website

Website analytics can help you track what areas of your website are receiving the most traffic. To set up tracking on your website you’ll want to set up a free account on Google Analytics. Once you’ve done that you can enter the information into the Beehive Analytics plugin through your site’s administrative dashboard. You’ll find the plugin in the left-hand menu.

To set up Beehive, find the plugin on the left-hand menu. You’ll need to sign in with your Google account and then set up analytics.

Once you’ve done that click on “Google Analytics” to see your data. If you have more than one site you’re tracking click on “Account” to choose the correct property.
