The Contentsquare tag is a JavaScript snippet that needs to be installed on your live site to begin collecting data. To get started with this, choose from one of the following installation methods:
- Manually add the code to your website
- Installation when your website uses Google Tag Manager
- Install with a developer's help
Manually adding the code to your website
1. Ensure your platform is compatible with Contentsquare.
2. Log into your Contentsquare account and click 'Get Started' from the menu.
3. Click 'Copy' to copy the tag to your clipboard.
4. Share the code with your developer, or in your site's code 'paste' the copied tag between the <head> </head> tag.
Contentsquare works most accurately if the Contentsquare tag is inside the Head tag (<head> </head>) of every page you want to track.
5. Return to the 'Get Started' page and click 'Verify installation'.
6. Once you have added the Contentsquare tag to your site, you will need to wait a few minutes for Contentsquare to check if it is installed correctly. This usually happens the moment your site is loaded with the Contentsquare tag on it, but there can be a delay before the tracking shows as Collecting data.
Allow 30 to 60 minutes after tag installation for data to appear
Data will not appear immediately after tag installation. You'll need to allow up to 60 minutes from tag installation for your first session replays to become visible.
