    I can see the “Analytics” tab in the SEO>AMP area, but what do I paste in here? Would it be this?

    <script>
  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

  ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X', 'auto');
  ga('send', 'pageview');

</script>

    Thanks, I can’t find a definitive answer to this anywhere.

  • My understanding is you have to use the amp-analytics tag along with the json script type like below:

    <amp-analytics type="googleanalytics" id="analytics1">
<script type="application/json">
{
  "vars": {
    "account": "UA-XXXXXX-X"
  },
  "triggers": {
    "trackPageview": {
      "on": "visible",
      "request": "pageview"
    }
  }
}
</script>
</amp-analytics>

    I used this within the Yoast plugin but have not validated it yet so I’m not 100% sure it’s correct.

    Thanks I added that in after double checking the google dev site and after testing it appears to work properly. Thanks for the help!

    In case you have the Google Analytics plugin by Yoast installed, your AMP pages will also be tracked. That being said, there is no need to paste any code if you use GA by Y.
