How to Track Iframe Pageviews With Google Analytics?

To track iframe pageviews with Google Analytics, you can use Google Tag Manager to insert the Google Analytics tracking code on the iframe page. This will allow you to track the pageviews of the iframe content as if it were part of your main website.

First, set up Google Analytics on your website using the tracking code provided by Google. Then, create a new tag in Google Tag Manager and select "Custom HTML" as the tag type. Paste the Google Analytics tracking code into the custom HTML box.

Next, you will need to set up a trigger to fire the tag on the iframe page. Create a new trigger in Google Tag Manager and choose "Page View" as the trigger type. In the trigger conditions, specify the URL of the iframe page.

Finally, link the tag and trigger together in a new tag firing rule. This will ensure that the Google Analytics tracking code is only inserted on the iframe page.

Once you have set up the tag, trigger, and firing rule in Google Tag Manager, test the setup to ensure that Google Analytics is tracking pageviews on the iframe content. You should see the pageviews for the iframe page in your Google Analytics reports alongside the pageviews for your main website.
