Are you interested in what your visitors are searching for while on your site? Site search tracking can be enabled within your Google Analytics (GA4) property by configuring the Enhanced measurement option.
By default, when connecting ExactMetrics and Google Analytics, the Enhanced measurement option is automatically disabled since downloads tracking, outbound link tracking, and etc, is already provided by ExactMetrics. However, when manually enabled, it can be used to measure Site Search.
To start, go to analytics.google.com » Admin » Data streams.
Click into your data stream and turn on the Enhanced measurement option. Click on the gear or settings icon to customize the option.
On the next page, enable Site Search while disabling the other options and click Save.
You’re done! Site search tracking has been enabled for your data stream.
