How to give Church Plant Media access to Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics

Church Plant Media can connect Google Analytics to your Herald website and confirm that it’s recording visits. To get started, give us access to your website in both Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics. Your church keeps control of both accounts.

Use the email address our team provided in your support ticket for both invitations. You can complete these steps without sharing your Google password. If you’re unsure whether your church already has either account, let us know in your ticket before creating a new one.

1. Give us access to Google Tag Manager

1. Sign in to Google Tag Manager with the Google account your church uses to manage Tag Manager.
2. Select the container for your church’s website. This is where Google stores the tracking tags for that site. The container name is often your website address.
3. Click Admin. In the Container column, click User Management.
4. Click +, then Add users. Enter the Church Plant Media email address from your support ticket.
5. Under Container permissions, select Publish, then click Invite. This lets our team set up the tracking tag and publish it to your website.

2. Give us access to Google Analytics

1. Sign in to Google Analytics. Use the selector at the top of the page to choose the Google Analytics 4 property that collects data for your church’s website.
2. Click Admin in the lower-left corner. Under Property, click Property access management.
3. Click +, then Add users. Enter the same Church Plant Media email address.
4. Select the Editor role and check Notify new users by email.
5. Click Add. Editor access lets us configure tracking for the website property you selected.

Can’t find “Add users”? Ask the person who manages that Google service for your church to complete the steps. In Tag Manager, a Tag Manager account administrator can invite us. In Analytics, an administrator for the website property or its parent account can add us. See Google’s instructions for managing Tag Manager users and adding Analytics users.

3. Let us know you’re ready

Reply to your Church Plant Media support ticket with your website address and let us know you’ve completed both steps. We’ll check your existing tracking to avoid counting visits twice, connect Google Analytics through Tag Manager, and verify that a test visit appears in your Analytics Realtime report.
