Check the Google Analytics Account Settings

The most straightforward way to determine the owner of a Google Analytics account is to check the account settings directly:

• Log in to the Google Analytics account in question
• Click on the gear icon in the bottom left corner to access the "Admin" section
• In the "Account" column, click on "Account Settings"
• The account owner's email address will be listed under "Account Owner"

For example, if you're trying to find out who your Google Analytics administrator is, following these steps will reveal the account owner's email address.

If you don't have access to the Google Analytics account, you'll need to request access from the current account owner or an administrator. They can grant you the necessary permissions to view the account settings and determine ownership.

Keep in mind that only users with "Manage Users" permissions can view and modify user access, including the account owner's information. If you're not an administrator or the account owner, you may need to reach out to someone with higher-level access to obtain this information.

Use Google Analytics Account Lookup Tools

If you don't have access to the Google Analytics account in question, you can use various online tools to help you find out who owns the account. These tools typically work by performing a reverse lookup on the Google Analytics tracking code (UA code) found on the website.

Some popular Google Analytics account lookup tools include:

• Dnslytics Reverse Analytics Lookup: Enter the website URL, and the tool will display the associated Google Analytics UA code and account information, if available.
• Statsglitch Reverse Analytics Lookup: Similar to Dnslytics, this tool allows you to input a website URL and find the corresponding Google Analytics account details.

Keep in mind that these tools may not always provide accurate or up-to-date information, as they rely on data collected from various sources across the internet. Additionally, some website owners may choose to hide their Google Analytics tracking code or use alternative tracking methods, making it more difficult to determine account ownership.

If you're unable to find the account owner using these tools, you may need to reach out to the website owner directly or contact Google support for further assistance in determining who owns the Google Analytics account in question.

Contact Google Support for Assistance

If you've exhausted all other options and still can't determine who owns a Google Analytics account, your last resort is to contact Google support directly. Google offers limited support for Analytics users, but they may be able to help you in certain situations.

Before reaching out to Google support, make sure you have the following information available:

• The website URL associated with the Google Analytics account
• Any known Google Analytics account details, such as the UA tracking code
• Your relationship to the website or account (e.g., site owner, employee, contractor)
• The reason you need to determine the account owner (e.g., regaining access, updating contact information)

To contact Google Analytics support:

1. Go to the Google Analytics Help Center
2. Click on the "Contact Us" button at the top of the page
3. Fill out the support form with your contact information and a detailed description of your issue
4. Submit the form and wait for a response from the Google support team

Keep in mind that Google support may not always be able to provide you with the account owner's information directly due to privacy concerns. However, they can guide you through the process of regaining access to the account or updating contact information, if necessary.

In some cases, Google support may request additional verification to prove your relationship with the website or account before assisting you further. Be prepared to provide any necessary documentation or evidence to support your claim.

Determining the owner of a Google Analytics account can be a challenging process, especially if you don't have direct access to the account settings. By following the steps outlined in this guide—checking account settings, using reverse lookup tools, and contacting Google support—you'll be well-equipped to identify the account owner and take the necessary actions to manage your analytics data effectively.
