Question 1 of 3
Why should you as a website owner have Google Analytics installed on your website?
Email Google and ask to see their list of websites in their index and check to see if your site is on that list
It shows you the time and weather forecasts in your area as accurately as possible.
Having the code on your site is Google's way to play big brother to make sure you are not breaking any of their rules.
Question 2 of 3
How long does it take for Google to start showing data once you have installed the code on your site?
It’s instant.
It can take many months.
It’s up to Google but usually only takes a few days before it shows data for your site.
Question 3 of 3
Do you have to verify your site before the code becomes active?
Yes, you need to email Google to let them know there is a code on your site and they will manually approve or disapprove.
No you don't have to verify at all
Once the data is displayed, you need to call Google to let them know that it works otherwise they may delete the code as it hasn't been verified officially.
