Step 1: Go to the Google Analytics website

Open a web browser and navigate to analytics.google.com.

Step 2: Sign in to your Google account

If you don't have a Google account, create one by clicking on "Create account" and following the prompts. If you already have a Google account, sign in with your email address and password.

Step 3: Click on "Create property"

Once you're signed in, click on the "Create property" button.

Step 4: Choose the type of property

You'll be asked to choose the type of property you want to create. Select "Website" if you want to track website traffic, or "Mobile app" if you want to track mobile app data.

Step 5: Enter your property name

Enter a name for your property, such as your website's name or a descriptive title.

Step 6: Enter your website's URL

Enter the URL of your website, including the "http://" or "https://" prefix.

Step 7: Choose your industry category

Select an industry category that best describes your website's content.

Step 8: Set up your account

You'll be asked to set up your account by creating a Google Analytics account ID, which is a unique identifier for your account. You can choose to create a new account ID or use an existing one.

Step 9: Set up your tracking ID

You'll be given a tracking ID, which is a unique code that you'll need to add to your website's pages to track data. You can copy and paste this code into the HTML of your website's pages.

Step 10: Verify your website

To start tracking data, you'll need to verify your website by adding the tracking ID to your website's pages. You can do this by copying and pasting the tracking ID into the HTML of your website's pages or by using Google Tag Manager.

Step 11: Set up goals and events (optional)

You can set up goals and events to track specific actions on your website, such as form submissions or button clicks.

Step 12: Start tracking data

Once you've set up your account and verified your website, you can start tracking data. You can view your data in the Google Analytics dashboard, which provides insights into your website's traffic, engagement, and conversion rates.

That's it! With these steps, you've created a new Google Analytics account and started tracking data for your website.
