When you're adding a new property to Analytics for the first time, on the new account page where you're asked for the URL etc, you're also asked if you want to share your details, information etc with Google products and services, for benchmarking, technical support and account specialists. Now when you are faced with this option, do you leave all of them checked as default, or do you only select some or none?
Although, saying that, most online SEO checkers and appraisal sites, do list whether Analytics was found as part of their SEO score.
So maybe I'm asking the wrong question. Maybe a better question to ask is, what is the recommended setting or does that really not matter and is just down to preference?
Obviously I can understand that at some point down the line, if your site gets really big, that sharing that data with specialists for benchmarking and diagnosing could be useful.
Just as Analytics data always is later down the line. Example; if you come to sell that site or need to see more details on your traffic/activity etc.
And of course there's always whether or not sharing is considered when a manual review of your site is done by Google team following a manual investigation should it so.
Is whether you're sharing your Analytics data looked at and considered by Google in anyway or is that just purely fluff and not sharing anything is just as fine.
Fill me in.
Obviously, this is just Analytics tracking, so whether you share your data or not, it can't effect your on-page/off-page SEO in any way. That's a separate entity.
