But it's also possible to add more advanced analytics to your Podia website, allowing you to use powerful tools like Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics Events, and many more.
The Advanced Analytics feature is available on the Earthquaker plan. You can learn more about Podia's plans on our pricing page.

Installing tracking codes
Just connecting your Podia site to Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel and Pinterest tag should be enough to track all of the information you need regarding visits and sales.
Adding additional tracking codes is only required if you want advanced with your analytics.
There are two types of tracking codes you can add to Podia:
Website tracking code appears on every page on your Podia site.
Conversion tracking code appears only after a customer makes a purchase or subscribes to your membership.
Your analytics tool should specify whether a code snippet should appear on every single page (website tracking) or only on āsuccessā or "thank you" pages (conversion tracking). All tracking codes in Podia are inserted just before the page's closing </body> tag.
Tools that require their code be placed within the <head></head> tag are not supported by Podia.
Website tracking code
Website tracking code will execute on every page of your Podia site. These code snippets usually collect information about all page views, from all visitors, across your entire website.
To install your website tracking code:
Access your Site settings.
Navigate to the Analytics tab.
Copy the tracking code from your analytics tools and paste it into the text area labeled āWebsite tracking codeā.
Click on Save changes.
Conversion tracking code
Conversion tracking code executes only when a conversion event occursā specifically when a customer purchases a product or subscribes to your membership.
Tracking conversion events provide your analytics tool with more information about the specific action your customer took, enabling you to learn, for example, which traffic sources are more likely to result in paying customers.
To install your conversion tracking code:
Access your Site settings.
Navigate to the Analytics tab.
Copy the tracking code from your analytics tools and paste it into the text area labeled āConversion tracking codeā.
Click on Save changes.
Just connecting your Podia site to Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel and Pinterest tag should be enough to track all of the information you need regarding visits and sales.
We won't be able to offer support for advanced custom codes added to Podia at this time.
Thank you Pages
Some analytics tools might require you to enter a specific URL (web address) to track a goal or conversion. These are sometimes called "success" or "thank-you" pages.
You can read our entire guide on using thank you pages for conversion purposes.
Running tests
Disable ad-blockers and use private browsing (incognito mode) when testing your website and conversion tracking code installation.
Your tracking code is not output when you are logged in to Podia. This ensures your own page views and test orders are not tracked to your analytics tools.Ā
