If you can't find your Tracking ID (i.e. "UA-" ID), it's probably because you are in a Google Analytics 4 property instead of a Universal Analytics property. You may have unintentionally created a Google Analytics 4 property (now the default) for your website instead of a Universal Analytics property.
To fix this, simply create a Universal Analytics property. Follow the instructions carefully, because the Universal Analytics property option is hidden under Show advanced options.
Before you create a Universal Analytics property, however, follow these instructions to make sure you're not already using a Universal Analytics property with a Tracking ID:
- In Admin, make sure that you have the desired account and property selected.
- In the Property column, click Tracking Info then Tracking Code. Your “UA-” ID appears in the upper left portion of the panel.
If you don't see Tracking Info > Tracking Code, you are viewing a Google Analytics 4 property. Follow the instructions to create a Universal Analytics property.
