Before You Start

Make sure you have the following ready:

  • A Google account (Gmail works fine)
  • Google Analytics access (or permission to create it)
  • Google Search Console access (or permission to create it)
  • WordPress admin access to your site

Pro tip: The person setting this up should own or manage both the Google Analytics and Search Console properties. If you’re setting this up for someone else, make sure you have the right permissions.

From your dashboard, locate and click on Google Site Kit on the left panel.

If you do not see Google Site Kit on the left panel, please contact support and we can install and activate it for you.
