Google Analytics tracking

Your GA4 Measurement ID fires on every Tokei promotion page automatically. Giveaway traffic shows up in the same dashboard as the rest of your marketing — same reports, same dimensions, same audience builder.

What it does

Add your GA4 Measurement ID to your Tokei account and the gtag.js tracking code loads on every public promotion page — contests, landing pages, sweepstakes, all routes. Pageviews, events, and user behavior are reported into your GA4 property.

No tag manager. No custom code. One ID, universal coverage.

Where tracking fires

/contest/...Competition pages
/promote/...Landing pages
/levelup/...Level-up pages
/discover/...Discover pages

Why it matters

Most marketers live in Google Analytics. It's where they check traffic, compare channels, and make budget decisions. A giveaway that doesn't report into GA4 is a blind spot — you can't compare its performance to your other campaigns.

With GA4 tracking enabled, your giveaway pages appear in the same reports as your blog, your product pages, and your landing pages. Same acquisition reports. Same engagement metrics. Same audience segments.

Full technical details in the Google Analytics setup docs.

What you can measure

Everything GA4 reports for any web page, you get for your giveaway pages:

  • Which traffic sources drive the most giveaway visitors
  • How users behave once they land on your promotion page
  • Which UTM campaigns have the highest engagement
  • Geographic and demographic data about your giveaway audience
  • Device and browser breakdown for mobile optimization

Use UTM parameters

When sharing your giveaway link on social media or in ads, add UTM parameters. GA4 will attribute traffic correctly and you'll see exactly which posts and campaigns are driving entries.

Common questions

Will giveaway data mix with my website data?

It depends on your setup. You can use the same Measurement ID as your website (data appears together) or create a separate data stream (keeps it isolated). Both work.

Do I need Google Tag Manager?

No. Tokei loads the gtag.js script directly using your Measurement ID. No GTM container needed.

Can I track entries as conversions?

The integration tracks pageviews by default. For conversion tracking on entry submission, see the full setup docs for custom event configuration.

Is this GA4 or Universal Analytics?

GA4 only. Universal Analytics stopped processing data in July 2023. If your Measurement ID starts with G-, you're on GA4.
