In this post we’ll look at the steps involved for setting up Google Analytics on your Magento 2 storefront. Here they are, in a nutshell.

1) First, you’ll need to create a Gmail account, if you don’t have any one already.

2) Next go to https://www.google.com/analytics/, expand the “Sign in” menu at the top and click “Analytics”.
