NERV Systems Website - Setup Instructions

Google Analytics Setup

Finding Your GA ID from the Old Site

  1. Go to https://www.nervsystems.com
  2. Right-click → "View Page Source"
  3. Search for one of these:
    • gtag('config', 'G- → Your ID looks like G-XXXXXXXXXX
    • analytics.js → Look for measurement ID
    • gtm.js → Look for GTM-XXXXXXX

Adding GA ID to the New Site

  1. Create a file called .env.local in the project root (same folder as package.json)
  2. Add this line (replace with your actual GA ID): 
    NEXT_PUBLIC_GA_ID=G-XXXXXXXXXX
  3. Restart the dev server (npm run dev)

Note: .env.local is automatically ignored by git (for security)
