Where to add the Google Analytics script to a Web App Builder (on locally hosted server) site?

JasonBuck — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 17:23:56 GMT

I am trying to add the Google Analytics script to a locally hosted Web App Builder site. I've put the script in the Index.html file. According to the network traffic the site is sending information to Google Analytics, however, no users are being logged. Is using Google Analytics with a web app builder site allowed or has anyone gotten this to work? If so, is there a specific location where the script needs to be placed? Thank you.

Jason,

I have this in the head section of my index.html and I get analytic data.

  <script>
    (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i=i||function(){
    (i.q=i.q||[]).push(arguments)},i.l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
    m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
    })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

    ga('create', 'UA-My code', 'auto');
    ga('send', 'pageview');

  </script>

Robert,

Thank you. That's where I have it as well. After checking Google Analytics again, I just realized that the date range being displayed didn't include today. It was actually tracking. Thank you for the confirmation on the script location.
