You can measure behavioral data about your site with Google Ads and Google Analytics. Follow the steps in this article to set up a tag for your Google Ads or Google Analytics account. Learn more about Installing your tag with a website builder or CMS.

Before you begin

You can integrate your account with Google Ads or Google Analytics for free. To set up your integration, you’ll need a valid Google sign in and an active Drupal account.

If you’d like access to additional features, you can set up integration with the following customizations:

• Enhanced link attribution
• Event tracking
• File download tracking
• IP address masking
