# Configure a Google Service account for Google Analytics

For Talenteria to be able to retrieve data tracked by Google Analytics and show it on the Talenteria [landing page](/v1/docs/landing-page), you must create a Google service account, add it with **Read & Analyze** permissions to your career site(s) in Google Analytics, and then specify the JSON of the service account in the [Google Analytics settings](/v1/docs/manage-a-career-site#google-analytics) of the site in Talenteria.

To configure a Google service account for Google Analytics integration:

1. Go to Google Cloud console: [https://console.cloud.google.com/projectselector2/iam-admin/serviceaccounts](https://console.cloud.google.com/projectselector2/iam-admin/serviceaccounts) and sign in with your account or create a new one.
2. Select **Create Project**.
