Does Google Analytics track Live Preview 'page views'?
If you're using SEOmatic - no. It's built in that the GA doesn't get spat out for the preview. If you're using a regular template - yes; you may want to wrap your GA code in a conditional so that it's not spat out when requested via the live preview.

{% if not craft.config.devMode and not craft.request.isLivePreview %}{# GA code here #}{% else %}&lt;!-- Google Analytics script is NOT included in LivePreview or if devMode is on --&gt;{% endif %}


[edit] Whoops, saw the other half of your question. What is it about your set up that's stopping you doing this? Sounds more like an Analytics issue than a Craft one to me.
