You got one! Because in today’s post, I am going to share the quick method that you can take in use to share your Google Analytics data with your clients or whoever you want to share with.
You can not give them access to your Google Analytics account because of having confidential data from your customers and visitors.
I am going to share a method where you don’t need to grant your Google Analytics account’s access to anyone and still can share the data with your clients or whoever you want to.
Important: For sharing the Google Analytics data with others, you need to use MonsterInsights plugin for WordPress which can help you to access your traffic insights directly from your WordPress dashboard.
And, you can also use it for sharing your Google analytics data with your clients or whoever you want to share it with, without sharing access to them.
MonsterInsights is a freemium plugin which means, it has both free and paid plans. The free version, of course, comes with the limitations.
