Of course, you know the number of contacts you’ve received via a contact form<\/strong> . You answer them yourself. But what about newsletter subscriptions, for example? What impact do my Facebook posts have? Where do the visitors who are willing to interact come from? <\/p>\n\n

Google Analytics Conversion Tracking<\/strong> can answer this question perfectly. I’ll show you how to set it up here. <\/p>\n\n

Add Google Analytics Event Code to Contact Form 7.<\/h2>\n\n

The event code consists of a tracker event, which can be inserted in the contact form under Additional Settings.<\/p>\n\n

on_sent_ok: \"ga('send', 'event', );\"<\/pre>\n\n

Contact Form 7 Google Analytics Tracking<\/p>\n\n
If you want to modify the code, you can do so manually or use this event tracking code generator<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n
Then save the form and submit a test. The changes in Google Analytics will usually appear starting the next day. <\/p>\n\n
You can then view the tracked events in Google Analytics under Behavior><\/strong> Find events<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n
Make Google Analytics Event visible as a Goal<\/h2>\n\n
However, you usually want to make the tracked event visible as a Google Analytics goal so that it can also be evaluated there against other goals.<\/p>\n\n
To achieve this, you need to define a corresponding goal.<\/p>\n\n
Navigate to Manage > Destinations (right column).<\/p>\n\n
Set your goal in 3 steps:<\/p>\n\n
<\/a><\/p>\n\n
Choose custom goal setup.<\/p>\n\n

Define Goal Description  Type<\/p>\n\n
<\/a><\/p>\n\n
Define the fields according to the values previously set in the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
