How to Add Google Analytics to WordPress: Basics

So you want to know how to add Google Analytics to WordPress?

Google Analytics is a powerful tool that provides insights into how visitors interact with your website. It collects and presents a wide range of demographic data, such as where your visitors come from, what devices they use, what pages they visit the most, how long they spend on your site, and much more.

This information is invaluable for improving your site’s user experience, increasing conversions, and growing your business.

To get these insights, you need to add Google Analytics to your website.

You can do this by embedding a small piece of JavaScript code provided by Google into your site with a WordPress code snippet plugin or using Google Tag Manager. Alternatively, you can manually add the code to the functions.php file of your WordPress theme or child theme files.

The easiest way to set up Google Analytics in WordPress is with MonsterInsights, a top-rated plugin that handles your GA4 WordPress tracking code for you.

This plugin simplifies Google Analytics WordPress integration and enhances your site’s functionality.

MonsterInsights also seamlessly integrates with Google Analytics 4 (GA4), which is now replacing Google’s Universal Analytics.

GA4 provides more detailed and flexible reporting with an emphasis on understanding the customer journey. It also introduces more advanced AI to help anticipate your customers’ future actions.

With MonsterInsights, you can get the best of both worlds by integrating Google Analytics 4 WordPress without the hassle of complex configurations. This allows you to keep up with the latest advances in web analytics while still enjoying the simplicity and ease of use that MonsterInsights offers.

Announcement SeedProd Easy Digital Downloads Integration|||

Have you ever considered selling digital products but avoided the idea because building an online store sounds too hard? The newest update for SeedProd might just change that.

With our new Easy Digital Downloads integration, creating a website to sell your digital goods is easier than ever. In under 30 minutes, you could have a brand new website with everything you need to display, sell, and deliver your products using one of the best digital eCommerce plugins for WordPress.

However, this barely scratches the surface of what you can do with SeedProd and Easy Digital Downloads (EDD), so let’s dive in for a closer look at how this game-changing new feature works.

Build an Easy Digital Downloads Website Without Code

Easy Digital Downloads

Easy Digital Downloads is one of the most popular digital eCommerce plugins for WordPress. Over 50,000 smart business owners use it to manage, store, and sell everything from eBooks and WordPress plugins to PDFs, music, and more.

The demand for digital products is huge, with a predicted growth rate of 6.9% by 2028. As a leader in its field, EDD’s powerful eCommerce plugin is one of the easiest ways to capitalize on that trend.

Couple this with SeedProd’s effortless website customization, and you have the perfect pairing for a high-converting online store that meets the demands of a booming industry.

Showcase Digital Products in One Place

With the new EDD Downloads Grid block, you can display all your products on a custom digital storefront. Your customers can browse, select, and purchase your digital products all from one place.

EDD Downloads Grid block

The block settings are easy to customize with similar point-and-click features to our WooCommerce blocks. For example, you can display products by ID, tags, or category, show multiple columns, and include pagination, which is ideal for stores with many products.

You can also show or hide the following details:

  • Price
  • Excerpt
  • Full Content
  • Buy Button
  • Product Thumbnails

The Downloads Grid is perfect for highlighting your product library if you sell software or apps. For instance, you can add the software icon as your product thumbnail, the price, a brief description or excerpt, and a buy button for immediate download.

Alternatively, as a digital artist, you can display your work with high-quality thumbnails, including the price, the story behind your work, and a buy button for shoppers to purchase right away.

Example of selling digital art online with SeedProd's EDD blocks

If shoppers need more convincing, they can always click through to see all the details on a professionally designed product page, which we’ll talk about next.

Display Pixel-Perfect Product Details

Product presentation is key in digital commerce. With SeedProd’s new Download Post Type, you can build pixel-perfect product detail pages for a seamless user experience.

Simply create a new Theme Template using the Theme Builder and choose the Download Post Type.

You can then edit the page using 7 new EDD template tags to customize how everything looks:

  • Featured Image
  • Title
  • Price
  • Content
  • Excerpt
  • Instructions
  • Add-to-Cart

Highlight key features, include high-quality images, and add compelling product descriptions to entice your customers. Plus, each block works seamlessly with our drag-and-drop builder, allowing you to display your product information anywhere you like.

EDD Template tags

Want to explain how shoppers can download their product? Simply drag over the Download Instructions block to pull that information from your EDD product listing.

Maybe you want customers to head right to the checkout, bypassing the shopping cart when buying. To do this, you can enable the Direct to Checkout toggle in the Add-to-Cart button settings.

Customize Your Checkout Process

While Easy Digital Downloads already has an excellent checkout experience, SeedProd lets you take things a step further with a fully customizable shopping cart and checkout pages.

Click the Edit with SeedProd button from either page, and you can add the EDD Checkout or Shopping Cart block to create custom layouts with a couple of clicks.

You can even drag over the Testimonials block to show valuable social proof, proven to increase conversions by as much as 10 percent.

12 New Customizable Website Kits

Building an email list is one of the most reliable ways to grow your audience and drive sales. Unlike social media, you own your list, and you can reach subscribers anytime with targeted messages that get results.

Mailchimp makes this easy. Its segmentation tools let you group subscribers by location, purchase history, or engagement level so you can send more relevant content. This personalization helps increase open and click-through rates.

You’ll also get built-in analytics to track every campaign. See which emails your audience opens, which links they click, and how many conversions you generate, so you can improve with each send.

Finally, Mailchimp integrates with hundreds of tools, including WordPress, WooCommerce, and popular social platforms. That means you can connect your signup forms, store data, and marketing channels in one place.

Now that you know why Mailchimp is such a powerful option, let’s explore the top Mailchimp WordPress integrations to help you grow faster.
