Study Notes
Google Analytics Account Structure
- A Google Analytics account holds data from various properties belonging to a single business.
- A property represents a group of user data (e.g., website or app). It's where data is processed and links with other Google products (like Google Ads) are created.
- A data stream represents data flow from the website/app to a property. It controls which data is collected.
- Web data streams are for websites.
- App data streams are for mobile apps (Android & iOS).
- Ideally, use a single web data stream for website user journeys for consistent session and user reporting.
- Use a single web data stream with cross-domain measurement for web journeys spanning different domains.
- For a business with both a website and mobile apps, separate data streams are used (one for web, one for iOS app, and one for Android app).
- Account structure should map to your business structure; typically, one account per company, and one property per brand/business unit.
Examples of Account Structures
- Fashion Blog (single website):
- One account
- One property for the website
- One web data stream
- Gaming Company (mobile racing game):
- One account
- One property for the app
- Two app data streams (one for Android, one for iOS)
- Food Delivery Service:
- One account
- Two properties (one for customers, one for delivery drivers)
- Customers Property: Three data streams (web, Android app stream, iOS app stream).
- Delivery Drivers Property: Three data streams (web, Android app stream, iOS app stream).
Additional Considerations
- Google Analytics 360 is an enterprise-level version offering more flexibility, such as sub-properties and roll-up properties.
