GA4 offers a robust tracking solution specifically designed for AMP pages, featuring seamless integration with AMP's consent module.
All essential tracking information for AMP pages is readily available to facilitate a fully functional tracking setup with Google Analytics 4. This includes session tracking and the necessary switches to generate key events such as first_visit, session_start, and user_engagement.
So, let's dive into the implementation steps:
Implementing GA4 on AMP pages involves two primary steps:
- Custom Code placement within the
<body>tag. - Including the AMP Plugin within the
<head>section.
