      How to create a Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) property alongside a Google Analytics GA4 property.

      This guide will walk you through the "hidden" steps to create a Google Analytics Universal property.

      Last updated: July 27, 2023

      Google is pushing for GA4 adoption and will sunset Universal Analytics in July 2023.

      Yet, companies and website owners still haven't fully migrated to the GA4 version and we're still testing the GA4 integration.

      Note: This guide applies only when you create a new property. If you've already created a GA4 property but didn't get the option to create a Universal Analytics property alongside your GA4 property, you will have to create a new property and follow this guide.

      How to create Universal Analytics property?

      1. Go to Admin and click on Create Property .
