Why is Google Analytics so freaking difficult?

[AgedDoms]

It just doesn't click in my head. Am I just an idiot? Even Google tag manager, I have sucessfully integrated my GA via tag manager but I still have a red line some issues need to be fixed.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't use Google Analytics.

Google Analytics is not that hard, I'm not allowed to answer your question without insulting you and getting a warning, but feel free to ask an AI for help

You’re not alone GA setup can be confusing. Try checking if your tag is firing properly in Tag Assistant; that usually fixes the red warning.

Honestly, Google Analytics and Tag Manager can be confusing at first, but this is a common issue. The “Missing Google tags” warning usually means the GA4 tag isn’t properly added or published in your GTM container. Just add the GA4 configuration tag and publish the container. Use GTM’s preview mode and Google Tag Assistant extension to verify everything is working. It gets easier with time, everyone goes through this!
