Hubspot tracking code

HubSpot is an all-in-one marketing tool and customer relationship management software (and no they do not pay us to say such nice things about them!) They have an amazing and robust knowledge base, but we thought we would create an all encompassing resource for newbies first adding a tracking code to their website.

A WHAT?

Tracking code is a snippet of code that tracks the activity of a website user by collecting data and sending it to HubSpot. You have heard of cookies right? No not the ones you eat, but the ones in your browser! The tracking code uses a cookie to anonymously track a visitor across your site. When a visitor fills out a form, say for example to join your mailing list, that submission will then add them as a contact to HubSpot, or associate them to an existing contact!

WHERE TO FIND IT

1. Login to your HubSpot account, and click the settings icon in the main navigation bar.
2. On the left menu bar, click Tracking Code under Account Settings. 
3. Click the Copy button to save the code to your clip board, or delegate this task by emailing it to your Web Master! 
- 3.a If you are a Wordpress user, go ahead and click the button to download the Zip file. 

how to install it

Once you have the code, all you need to do is paste it into your footer... That's what everyone tells you, if only it was that easy! Each website platform is different and each are a little bit different. To make things simple, we are including "how to" links for the top five website platforms.
