⭐ How to Create a GA4 Account and Property to Get Your Measurement ID (Step-by-Step Guide)

A complete beginner-friendly tutorial for setting up Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect data from your Blogger website.

1. Introduction: Why You Need GA4 for Your Blog

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is essential for tracking how users interact with your blog.
By creating a GA4 property and obtaining a Measurement ID, you can later connect it to Google Tag Manager (GTM) and complete your full tracking setup.

This guide covers:

• Creating a new GA4 account if you do not have one
• Creating a new property if you already have an account
• Getting your Measurement ID (G-XXXXXXXXXX)
• Preparing for the next tutorials:

• Part 2: GTM installation (HTML code injection)
• Part 3: GTM tag setup & publishing

2. Start GA4 Setup

Go to https://analytics.google.com Click Start Measuring.

3. Create a New Account (If You Don’t Have One)

Enter your Account Name → e.g., unicosmos-blog
These fields only identify your analytics structure.

If you already have an account:
Go to the bottom-left gear icon → Create → Property.

4. Create a GA4 Property

Enter:

• Property name (e.g., unicosmos)
• Business time zone → 대한민국 (GMT+09:00)

5. Fill Out Business Information

Enter the following:

• Industry category: “Internet & Telecom”
• Business size: “Small (1–10 employees)”
• Goals:
• Website traffic
• Measure engagement

Click Create.

These selections do not affect tracking accuracy — they only help Google provide recommendations.

6. Select Your Platform

Choose 웹(Web) because you are tracking a Blogger website.

7. Set Up Your Data Stream

Fill in:

• Website URL → https://www.unicosmos.pe.kr
• Stream name → e.g., cosmos
• Keep “Enhanced Measurement” turned on

Click Create and Continue.

8. Your Data Stream Is Created

You will now see:

• Stream name
• Stream URL
• Stream ID
• Measurement ID (G-XXXXXXXXXX) ← This is MOST important

This Measurement ID will be used in:

✔ Part 2: Google Tag Manager Setup (HTML code installation)
✔ Part 3: Creating a GA4 Tag in GTM & Publishing

Click Next to complete setup.

9. Where to Find Your Measurement ID Anytime

Go to:

Admin → Property → Data Stream
Select your website stream → You will find:
