Below are instructions to enable this integration from scratch using Google Analytics 4. You’ll need to create a property and data stream.
Log into your Google Analytics account (Need an account? Click here)
Click the ‘Admin’ tab in the left-hand panel.
Click ‘Create an account’ and confirm the account name and your data sharing preferences. Click ‘Next’.
In the ‘Property Details’ section, confirm the property name and your business’ time zone and currency. Click ‘Next’.
Select your main objective for collecting data. We recommend ‘Generate leads’. Click ‘Create’.
In ‘Start collecting data’, select ‘Web’ as the platform.
The ‘Set up data stream’ window will open. Add your Booking Page URL to the ‘Website URL’ form field. Next, type ‘Booking Page traffic’ or a similar prompt into the ‘Stream name’ form field. Click ‘Create Stream’.
The ‘Web stream details’ window will open. You’ll see a ‘Measurement ID’ that begins with ‘G-’. Click the copy button next to it.
If you’ve already created a property in GA4, navigate to Admin > Property > Data streams. Select ‘Web’ and the relevant data stream. The ‘Web stream details’ window will open and display the measurement ID.

Disconnect your Booking Page from Google Analytics
To disconnect Google Analytics, go to Integrations > Google Analytics integration card. Remove your measurement ID from the form field and click ‘Save’. This will stop tracking.
