Site Setup — SiteTraffic.io

1

Grant Google Analytics access

Give our read-only service account viewer access to your GA4 property:

Open analytics.google.com and pick your property
Go to Admin → Property Access Management
Click + → Add users, paste the email below, choose the Viewer role, and add
Find your numeric Property ID under Admin → Property Settings (it is a number — not the G-XXXX Measurement ID)

loading…

2

Grant Search Console access

Same idea for search data:

Open search.google.com/search-console and pick your property
Go to Settings → Users and permissions → Add user
Paste the same email from step 1 with Restricted permission

Which kind of Search Console property do you have?

Domain property (sc-domain:) URL-prefix property (https://…)

Install the GA4 tag on your site

Your Measurement ID (G-XXXXXXX) is under Admin → Data Streams → your web stream. Paste this snippet just before </head> on every page (skip if you already use Google Tag Manager):

Install first-party tracking

1. Accept the data processing agreement.
First-party tracking is powered by our data partner. Before your first site can be connected, review the data processing agreement (version …). This is accepted once for your whole account.

I have read and accept the data processing agreement

2. Register this site.
These compliance settings control how tracking behaves for this site's visitors.

Audience type *

General audience — a typical site aimed at adults or all ages. Child-directed — content made for children; stricter (COPPA-style) handling applies. Mixed audience — meaningfully serves both children and adults.

Expect EU traffic — leave on and assume EU visitors unless you're certain otherwise; it's the safer consent default.

Show the built-in consent banner — leave on unless your own consent tool already prompts visitors (both on means visitors get prompted twice).

Data retention (years)

How long this site's data is kept (1–10). Raising it later only extends retention going forward — it can't recover data already pruned under a shorter value.

Connect Facebook & Instagram (optional)

Open business.facebook.com and go to Settings (Business settings)
Choose Partners → Add → Give a partner access to your assets
Paste the Business ID below
Share your Facebook Page (and its Instagram account, if linked) with analyze / insights access
