Thanks for the video. Also, I figured i'd leave this comment for anyone who wound up here the same way i did. I made my website about 18 month ago and since then Google is switching from universal to GA4 so you will have to relink your site if you had your site up before the switch. This tutorial broke it down perfectly for me since I'm on wordpress. Plug in responded within a minute for me!

I was frustrated. Everything was working fine on my site until the forced Google migration. My site stopped counting hits! I tried a bunch of stuff, but got stuck. I watched your video one time and got it!!! Followed your instructions, tested in Real Time, everything's working. Thank you, Mariah.

[lindaburns]

Thank you! I signed up for a blogging course for my first blog and the instructions just said to install GA4 but with very few directions! Your tutorial saved me! I'll be watching more of your videos soon!

[sarahkuhlman]

Thank you for your tutorial! It was so helpful & reduced the overwhelm that reading through all the other setup articles triggered.

[drummermike]

Thank you for tip at 5:45 about keeping the url aligned with whatever is pasted in (minus the https://) Solved my issue of the tag not being found in the test. The www I typed in manually was the issue.

[ewuyujj]

I had my account partially set up and finished it up with your assistance. Thank you!

[doglifemadebetter]

Super helpful and clear for this tech-challenged girl - Thanks to you, I think Dog Life Made Better is all set up correctly!!!

[AccentYourDentistsAuckland]

Love it, thank you - I'd like to know more about Events in Google Analytics, specifically links to email clicks and phone clicks, and whether I can manage them / report on them, without using tag manager. Great tutorial, inspired!
