[GA4] Find your Google tag ID

A Google tag ID is a series of letters and numbers that usually starts with "G-". You need a Google tag ID to set up a Google Analytics 4 property for your website using Google Tag Manager and many content management systems (CMSes).

A Google tag is a piece of code that you place on your website. If you don't use Google Tag Manager or a CMS with an integration for the tag ID, you need a Google tag to set up a Google Analytics 4 property for your website.

Google tag ID vs. Tracking ID

Google Analytics 4 has replaced Universal Analytics. Universal Analytics properties used a Tracking ID (which starts with "UA-"), but Google Analytics 4 properties use a Google tag ID (which usually starts with "G-").

To set up a new Google Analytics property, you do not need a Tracking ID.
