Requesting Direct Google Analytics Access
How to get your own login to view Google Analytics and Search Console data directly in Google's interface.
Your analytics data is available in your SmartWebsite Pro dashboard and monthly reports. However, if you’d like to access Google Analytics (GA4) or Google Search Console directly, we can grant you access.
How It Works
Agency-Created Properties
When you join SmartWebsite Pro, we create:
- Google Analytics 4 (GA4) property – Tracks website traffic
- Google Search Console property – Tracks search performance
These are set up correctly, connected to your site, and maintained by us.
Access Levels
| Access | What You See |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Summarized data, key metrics |
| Monthly Report | Comprehensive analysis |
| Direct Google Access | Full GA4/GSC interface |
Most clients find the dashboard and reports sufficient. Direct access is optional.
Why You Might Want Direct Access
- Deep dives – Explore data beyond the standard reports
- Real-time data – See live visitor activity
- Custom reports – Build your own report configurations
- Integration – Connect to other tools you use
- Comfort – You prefer Google’s interface

Common Questions
Is there a cost for direct access?
No. It’s included—just request it.
Can I use my existing Google Analytics?
If you have a pre-existing GA4 property, we can discuss migration. Generally, we prefer using our setup for consistency.
What if I don’t have a Google account?
You’ll need one. Create a free Gmail account or use Google Workspace.
Can I remove your access?
No. We need access to manage your SEO and reporting. If you leave SmartWebsite Pro, we can transfer ownership.
What about privacy?
Your data is yours. We only use it for your service. We don’t share with others.
