Once you've created your custom tracking domain and received your LeadJourney Tracking Script, the next step is to add it to your website. This script is essential for capturing visitors, assigning Click IDs, and enabling full-funnel conversion tracking.

The good news? You can install the script on any CMS or website builder — the process is simple and nearly identical everywhere.


📋 What You Need

Before you begin, make sure you have:
✅ Your LeadJourney Tracking Script (e.g.):

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://t.yourdomain.com/package/latest/your-unique-id/"></script>

✅ Access to your CMS or website backend
✅ Permission to edit your site’s header or global code


🧭 Where to Place the Script

The script should be placed:

  • In the <head> section of your website

  • As high as possible in the code

  • On all pages of your site (via a global header or layout file)

Placing it in the header ensures early execution and reliable tracking for every visitor — even those who click away quickly.


🧑‍💻 Instructions by CMS

💡 WordPress

Use a plugin like:

  • “Insert Headers and Footers”

  • “Header Footer Code Manager”

Steps:

  1. Install and activate the plugin

  2. Go to Settings → Insert Headers and Footers

  3. Paste the script into the Header section

  4. Save


💡 Webflow

  1. Go to Project Settings → Custom Code

  2. Scroll to the Header Code field

  3. Paste the script

  4. Save and publish your site


💡 Shopify

  1. Go to Online Store → Themes

  2. Click Actions → Edit Code

  3. Open theme.liquid

  4. Paste the script right before </head>

  5. Save


💡 Wix

  1. Go to Settings → Custom Code

  2. Click + Add Custom Code

  3. Paste the script

  4. Select All Pages and Place in Head

  5. Save


💡 Other CMS (Joomla, TYPO3, Ghost, etc.)

Find the area to insert custom <head> code. Most platforms allow either:

  • Theme file editing

  • A custom code/module block

  • A global site settings panel


✅ What Happens After Installation?

Once installed:

  • Every visitor is tracked with a unique Click ID

  • Data is saved securely in LeadJourney

  • You can start matching CRM leads and sending offline conversions back to ad platforms


🔍 How to Verify?

  1. Open your website

  2. Right-click → View Page Source

  3. Search for part of your script URL (e.g. t.yourdomain.com)

  4. If it’s there, your script is active


⚠️ Pro Tips

  • Don’t place it in the footer — it may miss quick visits

  • Only one instance of the script is needed per page

  • If using a tag manager: install it directly in the code instead for maximum reliability
