Methods of Integration
The Google Analytics integration with HubSpot offers two distinct methods, each tailored to your specific HubSpot subscription level and tracking needs:
- Integration via Google Analytics Measurement ID:
- Integration Method: This approach involves adding a Google Analytics Measurement ID to your HubSpot settings. It offers seamless integration for users with the specified subscription tier. By including the Measurement ID, you enable data collection on your HubSpot-hosted content, ensuring that you have access to valuable visitor insights.
- Note: Users not on the Hubspot CMS can only integrate using a Measurement ID.
- Manual Integration with Tracking Code Snippet:
- Integration Method: For those who want more extensive tracking capabilities, you can manually add your Google Analytics tracking code snippet to the site header HTML for your domain. This method provides a higher degree of flexibility as it allows you to track not only your entire site but also specific blogs or pages. It’s a versatile option for tailoring your tracking efforts to meet specific analytical requirements.
