How to track your albums performance by connecting your Google Analytics with EmbedAlbum.

To track how your embedded albums are performing on your website you can connect Google Analytics with EmbedAlbum.

Please note that the widgets you create in EmbedAlbum are on our domain embedsocial.com (for example, when you click on the widget from your website it opens a link that looks like this: embedsocial.com /api/pro_album_widget/....).

So when you add them on your webpages, each visit to the web page counts a visit to the widget on another domain as well.

If you wish to track visits only on your embedded album widget, we recommend to do so by creating a new property in your Google Analytics for the website where you have the widget embedded on, and use the new Google Analytics tracking code to connect it with EmbedAlbum.

To create a new property, follow the steps below;

Login to your Google analytics account.

1. Click on the settings gear on the bottom left corner, and in the Property column click on Create Property

2. Select Data Streams

3. On the next page, select Web

4. Next, you will need to Create the Stream

5. Login to your EmbedSocial account, and open one of the albums you want to track.

6. On the settings on the right side of the album scroll down and enable Google Analytics, and paste the tracking code.

Make sure to click on Save once you're done.

That's it.

Now, to track your stories go to the homepage of your Google Analytics account and click on All Web Site Data

And select the property you created.

For any questions or additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out and chat with us or send us an email at support@embedsocial.com

We're happy to help.

Thanks!
