You can read Google’s documentation on activating Google Signals for a step-by-step guide and access to more information about the tool. However, we’ve compil! a quick setup guide bas! on Google’s documentation for you right here, so you can get right to it.
To activate Google Signals, log in to Google Analytics and click on the ADMIN tab at the bottom of the left-hand menu.
With Google Analytics, you can manage
multiple accounts and each account rcs data can have multiple properties (website, storefront, blog, mobile app, etc.). Now, Google Signals are appli! to individual properties, so – if you have multiple properties on Google Analytics – you ne! to choose which one to activate them on.
Once you’ve select! the correct property, click on the Tracking Info tab in the same column and then click Data Collection.

there shouldn’t be an issue with taiwan lists enabling for all, but if you are an agency that has other companies’ data in your account, you may have to be more specific with this setting. You will ne! to have admin access to the account level (or you’ll get “Access deni!”) in order to set this. If you don’t have account-level access, you will be able to set it for the properties for which you do have admin access.
If you have not enabl! Data Sharing in your Google Analytics account, you will see a different second paragraph asking you to turn this on, as Google Signals only work if you have this enabl!.
Google also asks you to make sure you are letting your users know.
Finally, click the Activate button and you’re all done.
