To count button clicks with Google Analytics, you can set up event tracking for the specific buttons on your website. Here is a general guide on how to do this:

  1. Sign in to your Google Analytics account and select the website for which you want to track button clicks.
  2. Go to Admin and navigate to the View for which you want to set up the event tracking.
  3. Click on "Goals" under the View column and then click on "New Goal."
  4. Select "Custom" as the goal type and click on "Continue."
  5. Name your goal (e.g., Button Click) and select "Event" as the type.
  6. Fill in the event conditions: Category: This can be a general category for all the buttons you want to track. Action: This should specify the type of button or action you want to track (e.g., Submit or Download). Label: This can be used to differentiate between different buttons of the same type.
  7. Save your goal and start tracking the button clicks on your website. Make sure that the tracking code is correctly implemented on your website for this to work.
  8. To view the button click data, go to the Reporting tab in Google Analytics and navigate to Behavior > Events > Overview. Here, you can see the total number of button clicks and analyze the data further.


By following these steps, you can easily track the number of clicks on specific buttons on your website using Google Analytics.
