Google Analytics is a web and app analytics product, not one of the click trackers this site ranks. Google Analytics measures a website or an app at no charge, with reporting that connects to Google Ads and the rest of Google's ad products. When you need to know which paid click produced the sale, and the ad platforms need that conversion back, add a dedicated tracker for that job.

The standard property measures websites and apps at no charge. A buyer who needs the paid click posted back to an ad platform is shopping for a tracker, which is a different product.
