All the video tutorials and documention I have been able to find on integrating google analytics in nextjs refers to the _app.js but since I am using the app directory, I am getting an error trying to place the script in the head tag. NextJs wants you to place it outside the head tag but then how can you have GA in all pages? Thanks to anyone who can help me with this. Thanks.
o answer my own question:
Found a great vid explaining this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJMTWuz2ksk&t=111s
