Connect to Google Analytics & Search Console #76

Closed samglover closed 1 month ago

samglover commented 1 month ago

I realize there are privacy implications, but I think the old @SuffolkLITLab/massaccess website had Google Analytics. And since these forms/interviews are only effective if people can find them, we need to keep an eye on traffic and search indexing.

@colarusso & @nonprofittechy: Any thoughts or caveats before I submit a PR with the Google Analytics and Search Console code?

I would see what other analytics options we have. GA4 is much less useful than the old Google Analytics, and we weren't exactly making full use of it.

nonprofittechy commented 1 month ago

Maybe https://www.cloudflare.com/web-analytics/ will work for us?

samglover commented 1 month ago

True. We really only need to see visitors, landing pages, and pageviews over time, so a simple analytics package like Cloudflare's will work fine.

Google Search Console is pretty important, but I don't think there are the same privacy implications since we just need to verify ownership in order to use it.

I was able to enable Cloudflare analytics and verified Google Search Console with a TXT DNS record, so we're all set!
