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.

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.
