Demo Account in Google Analytics

foreign [Music] hello and welcome to the Google analytics tutorial  series I'm Matt Landers and in this tutorial we're   going to talk about the Google analytics demo  account and how you can use it to experiment with   different Google analytics features we'll also  take a look at the two properties in the account   the Google merchandise store and the flooded app  okay so what is this demo account this account is   a fully functional Google analytics account that  anyone can access as long as you have a Google   account it consists of two properties a website  and a mobile app and it's really great way for   you to play around with real world business data  and experiment with different Google analytics   features so how do you access this account  to access the demo account click on one of   the two links in the description of this video  and you will need to have a Google account and   be signed in at that time if you don't you can  just go ahead and create one and log in with it   and then you can access the account then you'll  need to agree to let Google add the demo account   to your analytics account and the demo account is  available from the account selector in analytics   it's important to note that the demo account  counts against your maximum number of analytics   accounts are permitted to create but that number  is 2 000 accounts per Google account so hopefully   you all run into that issue all right let's jump  over into the demo and look at the demo account   all right we're starting on the help center  article for the demo account and I wanted to start   here so you could see exactly how I get into these  properties and you don't miss any of the steps but   the links of these properties are in the video  description so you can skip this step if you want   now one thing to notice is that I am logged into  my Google account so you need to be logged into   your Google account and if I scroll down I'll see  a few links I have the merchandise store property   the flooded app property then I also have this  where this data comes from so I can see what the   website looks like where we're collecting that  information and also from the flooded app all   right so let's click on the merchandise store so  that we can just see what we're dealing with and   we'll be taking to the home page of the Google  merchandise store which is just a e-commerce   site where you can buy Google branded merchandise  like cups and shirts and different items so all of   this information is being sent to the Google  merchandise property for the demo account so   we get live data here so if we go back to the  The Help Center and we click on the merchandise   store property will be automatically added to  that account and taken directly into the Google   merchandise shop property and I'm not going to  dig into all the reports here but you just know   this is a live site with a lot of data where we  can go in and see different reports what they   look like and how we can get information out of  them so we can act on them for our business now   you can also use this as a sanity check for your  setup to make sure that your reports look similar   to the reports here now yours might be different  based on your setup but you can get an idea of   what they should look like so for instance we can  go over to reporting in real time and we'll see   that we have a 157 people on this site in the last  30 minutes so that's pretty cool we can see where   users are coming from right now and we can also  go to different reports that are relevant to the   site since it's an e-commerce site we could go  to e-commerce purchases and see what people are   buying on the site now you can go do this right  now and play around with this data and see how   these reports work and the data that you can get  out of them all right so let's real quickly jump   over to the flooded app if I click on the flooded  app or take into a one-page website that then   links to the different app stores for that app and  this is just a tiny little mobile game that we use   as a demo to show data from an app going into a  property so if we go back to the demo account help   center article and we click on the flood it app  property will be taken to that property and this   will have different types of data this instead  of having monetization reports we might have   reports about games so we could go into our games  reporting into our engagement and we'll see that   we have things like level start level complete  what their scores are so this is a different type   of data set that you would see in the e-commerce  store but it's a good way for you to get an idea   of what your property should look like based on  if you have a website or an app all right in a   future tutorial we're going to dig into more of  these reports parts and if you have any questions   about the demo accounts or about your setup or  Google analysts in general I highly recommend   that you join our Discord server where my team is  there to answer your questions as well as other   people within the community so if you have any  questions or anything

happy measuring [Music]
