web - How long does it take for Google Analytics Goals to start show some data?

Question

I am testing Google Analytics Goals but I am not sure if I have it setup correctly. I setup a basic 3 step goal just as a test. I then went to my web site and performed those three steps. Should that immediately show up in Google Analytics under the Goal reports or does it take a few days? I need to know so I can know if I need to be troubleshooting or not.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can see goals appear instantly in the Real Time Conversions report.

One other thing to bear in mind when testing: make sure you aren't filtering out your IP address as you won't see any results from testing.
