Guided setup

Launch ClickReport tracking without the guesswork

Follow a checklist built for a single-operator SMB. Move from campaign naming to tracking installation with clarity, then activate monitoring before your next ad goes live.

The in-app installer keeps your place, offers platform-specific instructions, and separates code detection from browser execution and the first real tracked visit.

setup steps

Move from campaign naming to Google Ads tagging.

30 min

typical setup

Most single-operator launches are quick and focused.

1

site-wide tag

Install once per domain to cover every configured landing page.

No-code install paths

Not comfortable editing your website? Pick the path that fits

One site-wide tag is a complete install — visits are attributed to your landing pages automatically by URL. Every option below gets that tag onto your site without touching theme code.

Need exact placement steps for your builder or framework? Open the tracking integration library.

WordPress

Download the ClickReport WordPress plugin and upload it under Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, then paste your site token in Settings → ClickReport. Already using WPCode or “Insert Headers and Footers”? Paste the snippet into its Footer box instead — both work.

Wix, Squarespace, and Webflow

Use the builder's site-wide custom-code or footer-injection setting, paste the tag, and publish the site. The guided installer shows the current placement steps and then runs a browser test so a saved-but-unpublished change is easy to diagnose.

Google Tag Manager

Download the ClickReport GTM template, import it, paste the raw site token from guided setup, trigger it on All Pages, and publish the container. A server code scan may not see dynamically injected tags, so use the private live test as an installation diagnostic.

Someone else edits your site?

Create a shareable installer link from guided setup. It gives your web person the site-wide tag, platform steps, and installation test without access to your ClickReport account. Never send website passwords or temporary administrator access. If diagnostics still identify a problem, Contact support with the diagnostic result and page URL.

GoDaddy Websites + Marketing limitation

GoDaddy HTML sections isolate code inside an iframe, so they do not provide a reliable site-wide ClickReport installation. Use a supported external landing page or another site platform instead of treating an HTML-section paste as a complete install.

4-step checklist

Everything you need to launch tracking

Work through the steps in sequence. Each one builds on the previous so reporting stays accurate and PPC context stays connected.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Name your campaign

    Create the campaign container that keeps related landing pages together.

    Create a campaign or group for the landing pages you plan to monitor. Give it a descriptive name that reflects the initiative it supports.

    We recommend matching the name used in Google Ads to avoid confusion. Need multiple initiatives? Use the add campaign flow on the campaigns page.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Choose the pages you want to monitor

    Add the landing-page URLs that should receive tracking and click context.

    Add the URLs for every landing page that belongs in the campaign. Track a single page or manage a collection while ClickReport keeps everything organized under the campaign you created.

    As soon as a page is added, it becomes eligible for monitoring, reporting, and traffic review as tracked visits arrive.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Install the tracking code

    Add one ClickReport tag to the site-wide footer or tag manager.

    Install the ClickReport tracking script once for each domain you monitor. The same lightweight site-wide tag covers every configured landing page on that domain and powers analytics, alerts, and evidence exports.

    Find the snippet

    Open the guided setup after you sign in and copy the site-wide tag for your domain. Keep the absolute script URL and site token exactly as shown. Do not add a second copy when you create another landing page on the same domain.

    Place it safely

    Paste the script just before the closing </body> tag in your site-wide layout, footer injection setting, or an All Pages tag-manager trigger.

    The site-wide tag uses your domain's site token. Do not shorten the source to a relative /track.js path.
    Install one tag per domain. ClickReport attributes visits to configured landing pages by URL, so duplicate page-level tags are unnecessary.

    Step 4

    Apply campaign tags in Google Ads

    Add a ClickReport tag so visits can be tied back to campaign context.

    Use Google Ads tracking settings to append your ClickReport tag without editing every ad URL manually. The recommended approach is tracking template plus final URL suffix.

    1. Log in to your Google Ads account.
    2. Open tracking settings at the account, campaign, ad group, or ad level.
    3. Set the tracking template to {lpurl} and final URL suffix to crtag=google1.

    Tag rule: use up to 12 characters with A-Z, 0-9, hyphen, or underscore. Avoid spaces and other symbols.

    Quick fallback: append ?crtag=google1 to a test ad URL, or &crtag=google1 when the URL already has query parameters.
Live monitoring

What ClickReport records once you are live

Monitoring activates immediately. Each click is enriched with identifiers you can use to investigate performance, review budget impact, and document ROI.

Date and time of every visitVisitor IP addressUnique cookie or session IDReferrer for each clickKeyword that triggered the ad
Daily checks

Daily summary emails cover traffic totals, unique visitors, and repeat IPs across monitored pages.

Log in anytime for deeper analysis, PPC vendor filters, and exports for your records.

Spot repeat IP addresses quickly, then review Google Ads exclusions when the evidence supports it.

Review tip: validate repeat visitors, velocity, referrers, and campaign tags before applying exclusions.
