Google Analytics broken after Ads

Answered
Amy Motroni

I installed Ads yesterday and woke up to money in my Grow dashboard. awesome!

However, my google analytics isn't showing any data, not realtime or or total sessions. I had a complete drop (TANK) in my analytics since going “live” with Ads.

I checked my Google console and it shows that I had INCREASE in google traffic yesterday from previous day. All of my other sources also sent traffic to my website.

How do I fix my google analytics? AND is this impacting my money being earned by traffic?

Thank you,

Amy

    Hi Amy,

    I took a look, and I'm not seeing any Google Analytics scripts on your site, which is why you aren't seeing sessions tracking. If you add the GA4 tracking script back to the <head> area of your site, you should start seeing data pull in again. This won't impact revenue at all, though - it will only prevent you from having that traffic data for as long as the script is off of the site.

    Hope this helps!

    thank you for that info. I wonder what I did in the install of Ads to remove that. I'm thinking I used the WP Code Snippet plugin to put my GA4 tracking script in. I had to deactivate that plugin for Ads. 

    How do I manually add the script to my “head" are of my site?

    Thanks,

    Amy

    No problem at all! Here's a good guide on where to find your GA4 script in your Google Analytics dashboard and how to add it to the head of your site.
