Google Analytics shows us how people find and use your website — where your traffic comes from, which pages perform best, and how visitors convert. Granting us access lets our team analyze your data and make recommendations without needing your login credentials.
Estimated Time to Complete: 2 to 3 minutes
What You’ll Need
- A Google account with Administrator or Editor access to your GA4 property
- Our team email: access@yourcontentfactory.com
- A desktop browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Edge)
Steps
- Go to Google Analytics. Open https://analytics.google.com and sign in with the Google account that has admin access to your property.
- Select the correct property. Use the property selector in the top-left to choose the website you want us to manage.
- Open Admin settings. Click the gear icon (Admin) in the bottom-left corner of the sidebar.
- Go to Property Access Management. In the Property column, click Property access management.
- Click the + button. In the top-right corner, click the blue + button, then select Add users.
- Enter our email and set the role.
- Email: access@yourcontentfactory.com
- Role: Editor
Editor access lets us view all reports, create audiences, and configure events — but does not let us manage users or delete the property.
- Click Add. Our team will receive a notification and can start analyzing your data right away.
Role Levels Explained
Administrator — Full control including user management. Keep this for yourself.
Editor — Can view data, create/edit audiences, and manage configurations. This is what we need.
Analyst — Can view data and create reports but cannot change settings.
Viewer — Read-only access. Not sufficient for us to do our job effectively.
Troubleshooting
I don’t see Admin in the sidebar. You may not have Administrator access to the property. Ask whoever set up the account to either promote your role or add our email directly.
I only have Universal Analytics (UA), not GA4. Universal Analytics stopped processing data in July 2023. If you haven’t migrated to GA4 yet, contact us and we’ll help you set it up as part of our digital plumbing process.
This is one part of our Access Checklist. Visit blitzmetrics.com/acl to see all the accounts we need access to and complete the rest of the checklist.
