Before you start, make sure you have a Google Analytics account. If you need to sign up for one, this tutorial will walk you through how to set up Google Analytics in WordPress.
To begin, click the Launch the wizard button on the ExactMetrics welcome screen.
You can also start the wizard by navigating to ExactMetrics » Settings and clicking Relaunch Setup Wizard near the bottom of the page.
When you click the Launch the wizard button, on the next screen, select a category that best describes your website. Once you’ve done that, click Save and continue.
If you want to unlock more advanced tracking features and addons, you can upgrade to ExactMetrics Pro. You get to set up custom dimensions and track popular authors, categories, tags, and more.
And if you have an eCommerce store, then ExactMetrics can help you track its performance and show you how much revenue you’re making. That’s not all. You can also track form conversions with the Pro version.
Click Connect ExactMetrics to continue.
Now select your Google account to connect with ExactMetrics. Do remember to select the same account that you used to set up Google Analytics.
Next, you’ll have to grant ExactMetrics a set of permissions so that it can connect Google Analytics to your WordPress website. Click the Allow button to continue.
Now pick a profile or your Google Analytics property that you want to connect with ExactMetrics and click Complete Connection.
ExactMetrics will now ask for some recommended settings. Here you can enable the options to track events and enhanced link attribution. You can also select the file extensions you want to track and set up affiliate link tracking.
And if you scroll down, there are more options like adding user roles to view the report and options to install updates automatically. Click Save and continue when you’re done.
On the next screen, you’ll see different addons that can help you set up advanced tracking in Google Analytics. But remember, you’ll need to upgrade your plan to the Pro version to use these addons.
For now, you can scroll down and click the Save and continue button.
Next, you’ll be on the final set in the setup wizard. Click the Finish Setup & Exit Wizard button to complete the setup process.
That’s it!

How does differ from Google’s Site Kit which is from Google themselves ?
Hi Anjanesh,
Thanks for your question! ExactMetrics provides a lot more reports within your WordPress dashboard, and the opportunity to set up many more features, like eCommerce tracking, form conversion tracking, and more. With Site Kit, you get a really basic report and not much else. Also, Site Kit doesn’t work with Google Analytics 4 yet! It’ll connect GA4 to your site, but it won’t show you any report.
I want to use the free exactmetrics lite to test it on two sites. Do I need two google email addresses to do so? If so i won’t be installing. I tried yesterday to link a second website to you guys, the first website is already linked via google, but i can only see the first website as a “project” or whatever you call it in the dropdown menu. So i uninstalled on both websites. Did i miss something? Please let me know. Lastly, i give you permission to use my data and email address ONLY to address this comment. NO spam ever.
