Set up a Google Analytics 4 (GA4) property alongside your existing Universal Analytics property
This article is for website owners who use Universal Analytics and want to create a GA4 property. Learn more about GA4 properties and the next generation of Analytics
The Google Analytics 4 Property Setup Assistant tool creates a new GA4 property that collects data alongside your existing UA property. Your UA property remains unchanged. You can access both properties using the property selector or Admin page.

How it works
Create a GA4 property
The Google Analytics 4 Property Setup Assistant tool:
• Creates a new GA4 property.
• Copies the property name, website URL, timezone, currency, and other settings from your UA property.
• Activates enhanced measurement in your GA4 property.
• Creates a connection between your UA and GA4 properties. This connection makes it possible for you to use Setup Assistant in your Google Analytics 4 property to migrate configurations from your UA property to your GA4 property.
• Sets the GA4 property to receive data from your existing Google tag, if you choose to reuse an existing site tag.
• To use the GA4 Setup Assistant, you need the Editor or Administrator role for the account. You can use the tool regardless of whether your website pages have a Google Analytics tag (gtag.js or analytics.js), a Google Ads tag (gtag.js), or a Google Tag Manager container.
• 1. In Google Analytics, click Admin (lower left).
• 2. In the Account column, make sure that your desired account is selected. (If you only have one Google Analytics account, it's already selected.)
• 3. In the Property column, select the UA property that currently collects data for your website.
• 4. In the Property column, click GA4 Setup Assistant. It's the first option in the Property column.
•
Choose this option if one of the following is true:
• Your website builder/CMS does not yet support the Google tag (gtag.js)
• You or your web developer are manually tagging your website
• Your website is tagged with analytics.js
• You use Google Tag Manager
How to manually install the Google tag
If you manage your site using certain website builders or Content Management System (CMS) platforms, like Wix or Duda, you can finish setting up your Google tag without making changes to your code.
If you manage your site using one of the platforms listed on the Installation instructions page, select your platform and follow the instructions to finish setting up your Google tag without making changes to your code.
Then, click Done to finish creating your new GA4 property.
If your platform doesn't yet support the Google tag, use the previous "Install manually" option.
You are seeing this option because Google has identified an integration between your site and a specific Content Management System (CMS). This option lets you finish setting up your Google tag without making changes to your code using the existing CMS integration.
Follow the instructions to finish setting up your Google tag without making changes to your code. Then, click Confirm to finish creating your new GA4 property.
If your platform doesn't yet support the Google tag, use the previous "Install manually" option.
We're continually updating the CMS instructions to make it as easy as possible to set up your Google tag. If you don't see your platform on the Installation instructions page, you might still be able to paste your Google tag ID into your website builder or CMS. Before installing manually, check for your platform on this list.
Select this option to reuse an existing Google tag that you have admin access to.
Click Choose a tag. You'll see:
• A list of tags you have admin access to. (If you don't see the tag you are looking for, you might not have the appropriate user permissions to make changes to that Google tag.)
• Tag IDs
• Whether or not the tag was detected on your website. Choose a tag labeled "On site" to complete setup without making changes to your site's code. If you choose a tag labeled "Not detected", you might need to install it. (Note that if your site has low traffic volume, your tag may be shown as "Not detected".)
• The destinations that are associated with the tag
Use the tag detected on your site to complete setup without making any additional changes to your site's code. Google will add the Google Analytics property to the tag found on your site.
Choose this option if Google detected a tag on your website, but you want to use a different tag from the one Google detected.
Choose this option if Google detected a tag on your website, but you want to install a new Google tag on your website manually instead.
How to manually install the Google tag
When you select this option, you will see the JavaScript snippet for the Google tag.
To establish a connection between your website and Google Analytics, copy and paste the entire Google tag in the code of every page of your website, immediately after the element. Don’t add more than one Google tag to each page.
Your Google tag is the entire section of code that appears, beginning with:
<!-- Google tag (gtag.js)-->
