New update with Analytics Search Console

#91618
  • Hi Rank Math Team

    Just updated my plugin and it asked me to verify my Google analytics again – I have followed all the steps but am now wondering if it is still necessary to have the free Monster Insights plugin on my site – I think previously it was required by Rank Math to keep this plugin, now if I look at it with the latest update it does not seem that it is needed?

    Am I correct and can I delete Monster Insights – trying to keep the site streamlined and easy to work on the back end – I think that is what you have created now with the new update – sorry not a tech guru – if I am deducting correctly – well done on bringing more functionality into one place!!! for us – Love my Rank Math!!

    Is there a tutorial perhaps to assist in checking that we have done things correctly with the new feature?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support.

    Rank Math only shows the data that is important and actionable. We do not store all the data that comes from Google Analytics, as no matter what, Google Analytics can show much more data compared to any Analytics plugin.

    We would recommend keeping the two plugins on for some time but do not install the Google Analytics code using Rank Math for now.

    Wait till the Pro version comes out so you can compare both the plugins and then decide.

    Hope that helps. If there’s anything else we can help you with, please let us know.

    We are here to assist.

    Thank you for the reply – I think I may have verified my account again with Google as that is what the plugin requested me to do – so have I now messed things up by technically by default installing the plugin with the Google analytics code by default because I did what the plugin asked me to do?

    Or will the Analytics code only come into play with the Pro-version – if I am not ready to go pro then I just ignore that prompt when it comes round?

    Hello,

    You can toggle the option off from here:
    toggle install analytics code off
    /wp-admin/admin.php?page=rank-math-options-general

    Hope that helps. Thank you.

    Thank you, so for now that remains off and if I understand correctly only needs to be on when the pro version is activated?

    Hello,

    You do not need to enable it if you have already added the Analytics code on your website.

    Connecting the Rank Math app to your Google Analytics and installing the Google Analytics code are completely different things.

    If you have your account connected with the Rank Math app, that will suffice when the Pro version comes out.

    The plugin will be able to show the useful data in your WordPress dashboard.

    Hope that helps. If you have any further questions, please let us know.

    Thank you.

    Thank you – I shall leave it then as it was – have switched off the Install analytics code for now – if things go wrong I will check in again, thank you for your quick support!

    Hello,

    Glad that helped.

    If it isn’t too much to ask for – would you mind leaving us a review here?

    It only takes a couple of minutes but helps us tremendously.

    It would mean so much to us and would go a really long way.

    Thank you.​​
