      Step 1: Create a Google account, Google Tag Manager Container and Google Analytics account

      You need a Google account to use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics. If you already use Google products, such as Gmail or Ads, then you can use the same account for Google Analytics.

      • If you don't already have an account for a Google product, then create a Google account. You don't have to use the Gmail account for anything other than signing in and out of Google Analytics.
        After you create a Google account, you need to Create an Analytics account.
      • To enable Google Analytics 4, create a Google Analytics 4 property to track your Kobas CIC. After you create your property, you need to create a web data stream. Make a note of the Tag ID because you'll use this later in step 3
      • Now follow step 1 in this guide - Create a Google Tag Manager Account and Container. Ignore the pop-up regarding installation. Instead on the workspace page, copy or make a note of the GTM number in the top right of the page, next to preview and submit, you will need this number for the next step.
