    Hi, I was going through the Rank Math set up wizard and it’s requiring me to set up a new Google Analytics account to proceed. I already have a Google Analytics account for my website (my site is 4 years old), why would I need a new one?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for getting in touch with us.

    Connecting and setting up Rank math connection to Google Analytics allows you to make use of the Analytics module in Rank math: https://rankmath.com/kb/analytics/

    If you don’t wish to use this module or/and have another tool for this, you can skip enabling this module on your site.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    I want to have the Analytics but I’m struggling to understand why I would need a new account for the same website? I don’t want to lose that history that’s been accumulating for 4 years.

    I’ve been using Yoast for 4 years and have just moved to Rank Math Pro.

    Hello,

    Thank you for keeping in touch.

    If your current Google Analytics account is using V3 or Universal Analytics, then you don’t need to create a new one as Rank Math’s Analytics module works well with GA v3. Just simply connect your Google account to Rank Math plugin.

    If your GA account is v4, then it won’t work since GA v4 is relatively new and is not yet ready for 3rd Party Integration. You may refer to this article: https://rankmath.com/kb/using-ga4/

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
