# Google Analytics Setup

### Create an Analytics account <a href="#account" id="account"></a>

Your first step is to set up an Analytics account, unless you already have one. Skip to [creating a property](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9304153?hl=en#property) unless you want to create a separate account for this website and/or app. For example, you might want to create another account if this website and/or app belong(s) to a separate business.

1. Go to [https://analytics.google.com](https://analytics.google.com/).
2. If this is your first time using Google Analytics, click **Start Measuring**. If you already have an account set up, go to step 2.
3. In [**Admin**](https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/#/?pagename=admin\&utm_source=gahc\&utm_medium=dlinks), click **Create**, then select [**Account**](https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/#/?pagename=admin-account-create\&utm_source=gahc\&utm_medium=dlinks).**Note**: The previous link opens to the last Analytics property you accessed. You can [change the property](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/12813202) using the property selector. You must be a [Viewer or above](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9305587) at the account level to create an Analytics account.
4. Provide an account name. Configure the [data-sharing settings](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1011397) to control which data you share with Google.
5. Click **Next** to add the first property to the account.
