Google Analytics is a Google service that can track page stats for your website. The stats can range from the amount of users currently on the website, the amount of users who visited the website or page, to how many users entered or leave your website a certain way.

It is required to have a tracking code from Google Analytics set up in the Admin for your website so the stats can be tracked. However, this is always set up by our Envisionwise / LinkedUpRadio team, so you do not have to worry about setting up a new code.

I do not have access to the stats. What can I do?

If you do not have access to the stats for your website, we will be happy to help you with this! What you would have to do is provide us a Gmail or Google Apps email at support@envisionwise.com and we can set it up with access. No new password will be set up, so you will be able to log in normally with your account at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/.

Request a New Tracking Code

If you need a new tracking code for your website, you can call us at 217-239-0975 or email us at support@envisionwise.com and our team will be happy to help!

Note: Replacing a current Google Analytics tracking code with a new one will not transfer the tracked stats to the new code. The new code will only track the stats on the day it was set up for the website and onward, while the previously-tracked stats will remain on the old code.

Can Google Analytics track stats for podcasts?

With the current version of the podcast module for your websites, yes. However, for the tracking to work it needs these two things:

  • The parameters / settings set up for your website's tracking code by our team to enable podcast tracking.

  • A tracking code that was generated on Google Analytics 4 (GA4) - the latest / current version of the service - and was set up for your website.

My website already has a tracking code from Google Analytics 4 (GA4). What can I do from here?

If your website is already set up with a tracking code from GA4 (e.g. G-**********) but no podcast stats are being tracked at the moment, all our team would have to do is get the tracking of podcast stats enabled. If you need to get it enabled, you can contact us anytime and we will be happy to help!

The tracking of podcast stats has been enabled. Where can I find these stats?

You can find the podcast stats on GA4 under Reports > Engagement > Events. If the tracking was enabled recently, it may take about a day for the podcast stats to start showing up. Once it does, it will look like this:

As highlighted in #4 in the screenshot, these are the podcast stats to look out for:

  • episode_play - The stats on how many times podcast episodes were played.

  • episode_complete - The stats on how many times episodes were finished by users.

  • episode_download - The stats on how many times episodes were downloaded.

Clicking any one of them in the section will provide more details on what episodes were played, completed or downloaded.

My website has a tracking code from Universal Analytics (UA). Can this be used to track podcast stats?

If your website is set up with a tracking code from Universal Analytics (e.g. UA-********-1), then it will not work to track podcast stats. The podcast module only works with Google Analytics 4 (GA4), which is the latest version of the service.

If you need to track podcast stats, you would need to migrate over to GA4 - or generate a new tracking code on GA4 - for your website. If you need assistance with this, our team will be happy to help!
