In reply to Mathieu Degas. Great to hear that Mathieu - true, a few things have changed, but it is mostly still very relevant!

Still relevant in 2019!
Thank you for this very detailed article, I’ve turned it into my own checklist when working with a new Analytics account.

In reply to Mojo4624. I strongly recommend setting up a unique account for your website by yourself. Never let a web developer set up a property under their account. You can let the developer implement the Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager code (preferred). Technically yes, you don't want your web developer to have "manage users" access with regards to your data.

my web developer has set up our website (Property) with google analytics and he has then given us access through our google account. Does this mean he is now seen by Google as the owner of our Property (website) in Googles eyes and can he therefore refuse to give us access to the Property / analytics anytime in the future if he so decides ?

In reply to Greg.

Hi Greg,

I would recommend to still set it up to get maximum insights. If for whatever reason you don’t see enough extra value, you can always switch back.

Best,
Paul

Question about property settings. If we are using Doubleclik for Publishers, which supplies its own reporting, is it dangerous or superfluous to set up Demographics & Interests Reports and its dependencies?

Hi Nicolas,

I am glad you like it. Hope this guide helps you to get more out of Google Analytics.
And I will try to publish more in-depth guides (on several topics) in the upcoming months.

Best,
Paul
