+Hugo ships with prebuilt internal templates for Google Analytics tracking, including both synchronous and asynchronous tracking codes.
+
+## Configuring Google Analytics
+
+Provide your tracking id in your configuration file, e.g. config.yaml.
+
+    googleAnalytics = "UA-123-45"
+
+## Example
+
+Include the internal template in your templates like so:
+
+    {{ template "_internal/google_analytics.html" . }}
+
+For async include the async template:
+
+    {{ template "_internal/google_analytics_async.html" . }}
