Connecting GA4 to Seeka takes less than a minute for an existing data stream.
Connecting to GA will send events via the browser server and embed the “gtag” script on your website if you want to further integrate with the features provided by Google via “gtag”. This integration does not support the old Universal Analytics (UA) and only supports GA4.
🚨 IMPORTANT🚨
Before we begin, please ensure that GA4 is not already installed on your site, whether via Google Tag Manager, manually, or via a plugin. An easy way to check: open your site, view the page source, and search for "gtag" or your "G-" measurement ID. If it appears and Seeka didn't put it there, remove that installation first.
💡 Setting up Seeka for the first time? The guided setup (Signals, then Start setup) walks you through this exact connection. The steps below are the same.
