Integrating VWO with Google Analytics Classic

Integrating VWO with Google Analytics Classic (GA) allows you to view your website data in GA for each variation and filter data based on the metrics defined in GA.

Integrating Google Analytics Classic with VWO involves the following steps:

• Enable GA Integration in VWO
• Create Custom Reports

Procedure

1. Login to your VWO account.
2. Using the TESTING feature of VWO, create a test in VWO.
3. On the OTHERS page of the test creation, expand the Integrate with third-party products section, and select Google Analytics Classic.
4. In the Slot field, enter the custom variable slot in Google Analytics Classic that you want to use for VWO.
5. In the Account Prefix field, enter the relevant UA account prefix.
