Install the TrekGuider tracker on your website

Published
On this page

The TrekGuider tracker measures page views and clicks to TrekGuider on a website you manage. It is an alternative to importing existing Google Analytics reports. It does not count unique people, record browsing sessions or turn website page views into confirmed sales.

Add the code and start measuring

  1. Open Sales Analytics → Marketing → Connect → Your website.
  2. Choose Use the TrekGuider tracker and enter your website's main address, without an article path.
  3. Continue to Set up your tracker. Copy the code shown for this website.
  4. Add that code to your website's header, inside its <head> section. A site-wide header includes it on the pages you want to measure. Save and publish your website changes.
  5. Return to TrekGuider and select Check installation. The check can finish after you close the window.
  6. Once the installation is confirmed, select Start measuring. Open Website to see results as real pages receive activity.

The same installed code confirms that you manage the website. A separate DNS TXT record or Cloudflare connection is not part of this setup. Keep the code in place; later checks help us confirm that measurement still belongs on that site.

Understand automatic measurement

After you activate it, the tracker measures automatically. It does not display a visitor consent prompt. Explain measurement to your visitors and provide the privacy choices your website requires. Use the provided stop command on pages where measurement should be disabled, or pause measurement from the dashboard.

The tracker uses page paths without URL parameters or fragments. It does not read form contents, use cookies or browser storage, or create a persistent cross-site visitor identifier. Common account, sign-in and checkout pages are excluded by default. Review your site's private pages and exclude any others that should not be measured.

Read the results

Reports begin after setup and actual activity; they do not include visits from before installation. Page views are page loads we could measure, not a count of unique readers. A click to TrekGuider is still different from a recorded product visit or a purchase there.

Give each story a separate TrekGuider tracking link and place it in that story yourself. The link report follows eligible product visits and purchases under the visitor's separate TrekGuider marketing choice.

If installation is not found

Check that the exact current code is saved in the public home page's header and that the site is online. A website cache may need time to update. Follow the result shown before checking again; do not paste private page contents or access keys into a support ticket.

If the code is removed or cannot be confirmed later, measurement can stop. Use Confirm website or Resume setup as offered. Removing the website clears its TrekGuider setup and reports but does not delete the website itself. Read the website analytics policy for data handling.
