Add a Google Analytics Tracking Code

Add your Google Analytics 4 measurement ID (G-) to track visits to your online booking portal.

Written by Stephen

KennelBooker has a setting where you can enter your Google Analytics measurement ID for your online booking portal (the pages your customers use to book online). KennelBooker then adds Google Analytics to your booking portal pages for you, so you can see portal visits in your own Google Analytics account. This article explains where the setting is and how to set it up.

Where to find the Google Analytics setting

Click Settings in the main menu, then Online Booking Portal in the settings menu on the left. Scroll down to the Analytics section (or use Quick Link: Analytics at the top of the page).

The Analytics section has four boxes:

  • Google Analytics Code

  • Google Ads ID (begins with AW-)

  • Google Ads Conversion Label

  • Facebook/Meta Pixel Code

How to find your Google Analytics measurement ID

KennelBooker uses Google Analytics 4. Your measurement ID starts with G- (for example G-AB12CD34EF). To find it in Google Analytics:

  1. Open Google Analytics and click Admin.

  2. Under Data collection and modification, click Data streams, then click your web stream.

  3. Copy the Measurement ID shown at the top right.

If you don't have a web stream yet, create one in the same place first. Google's own screens change from time to time, so if the menu looks different, search the Google Analytics help for "measurement ID".

How to add your Google Analytics measurement ID

  1. Go to Settings > Online Booking Portal and scroll to Analytics.

  2. Paste your measurement ID (starting with G-) into Google Analytics Code.

  3. Click Save at the bottom of the Analytics section.

KennelBooker adds Google Analytics to your online booking portal pages for you. You don't need to edit any code on your own website. The ID is picked up when a customer starts a new visit to your booking portal, so a customer who already had the portal open won't be tracked until their next visit.

To check it's working, open your booking portal in a new browser window, then look at the Realtime report in Google Analytics. Your visit should show within a minute or two.

What the Google Analytics setting doesn't do

  • The Google Analytics setting doesn't add tracking to your own website. It only covers your KennelBooker online booking portal. Add Google Analytics to your own website through your website builder.

  • The Google Analytics setting doesn't add tracking to the KennelBooker app your staff use.

Google Analytics: frequently asked questions

Where do I put my Google Analytics measurement ID in KennelBooker?

Your Google Analytics measurement ID goes in Settings > Online Booking Portal > Analytics, in the Google Analytics Code box. Click Save at the bottom of the Analytics section.

Does KennelBooker work with Google Analytics 4?

Yes. Enter your Google Analytics 4 measurement ID, which starts with G-, in the Google Analytics Code box.

Can I still use my old UA- code?

No. Older UA- codes no longer collect data (Google switched UA off in 2024). Replace it with your Google Analytics 4 measurement ID, which starts with G-.

Does the Google Analytics code track my whole website?

No. The KennelBooker Google Analytics setting only applies to your KennelBooker online booking portal pages. Your own website needs its own Google Analytics set-up through your website builder.

Can I use the same Google Analytics property as my website?

Yes. You can enter the same G- measurement ID you use on your own website, so your website and booking portal visits show in one Google Analytics property.

Where do I add my Facebook or Meta pixel?

The Facebook or Meta pixel goes in the Facebook/Meta Pixel Code box in the same Analytics section of Settings > Online Booking Portal. See Add a Facebook Tracking Pixel.

Google Analytics: common problems

I added my code but Google Analytics shows no visits

Check that the code in Google Analytics Code is your measurement ID and starts with G-. Older UA- codes no longer collect data (Google switched UA off in 2024). Make sure you clicked Save in the Analytics section, then open your booking portal in a new browser window and check the Realtime report. Standard Google Analytics reports can take a day or so to fill in. If Realtime still shows nothing, contact KennelBooker support and include the ID you entered.

I can't find the Online Tool tab

The old Online Tool tab is now Settings > Online Booking Portal. The Google Analytics box is in the Analytics section of that page.
