Not every SharpSpring user solely uses the site analytics provided by the application. Often, users want Google Analytics implemented on their site along with SharpSpring tracking code.

By default, pages built in the Landing Page Builder and hosted in SharpSpring do not have Google Analytics tracking.

This article will detail how to implement Google Analytics to landing pages built in SharpSpring.
