I have just set up Google Analytics on my golem by:

• Putting google-analytics.html file in inst/app/www

• Using golem_add_external_resources in app_ui.R as follows (see commented line):

golem_add_external_resources <- function() {
  add_resource_path(
    "www",
    app_sys("app/www")
  )

  tags$head(
    includeHTML(app_sys("app/www/google_analytics.html")), #  ADD THIS LINE HERE IN YOUR APP
    favicon(ext = "png"),
    bundle_resources(
      path = app_sys("app/www"),
      app_title = "My title"
    )
  )
}
