Step 5: Install Tracking

Install the ClickFortify protection and conversion scripts using Google Tag Manager or manual code placement.

Tracking must be installed before ClickFortify can evaluate live traffic reliably.

Step 3: Install Tracking (Annotated)

Use the red arrows in the screenshot (manual install):

  1. Copy the generated tracking-script.js URL/snippet from the Tracking Script card
  2. Use the Copy button
  3. Paste that exact generated script into your website <head> so it loads on all pages

Quick Options

You have 2 ways to install the Protection Script:

  • Option A (Recommended): One-click Google Tag Manager setup
  • Option B: Manual install in your website <head>

Then add the Conversion Script on your success/thank-you pages.

  1. Open app.clickfortify.com → Tracking Script
  2. Click Setup with GTM
  3. Select your GTM account, container, and workspace
  4. Publish the container
  5. Return to ClickFortify and confirm status shows Active via GTM or Tracking detected

This is the fastest and safest setup for most users.

Option B: Manual Install (Protection Script)

If you do not use GTM, install the protection script manually.

  1. Open app.clickfortify.com → Tracking Script
  2. Copy the exact script from tracking-script.js (this script is generated for your own space/website)
  3. Paste that exact script inside your global website <head> (so it loads on all pages)
  4. Publish/deploy your website changes

Reference format only (always use the exact generated script from your dashboard):

<script defer src="https://tracker.clickfortify.com/s/{SPACE_SLUG}/{WEBSITE_SLUG}/cf.js"></script>

Install Conversion Script (Required for conversion attribution)

  1. Open app.clickfortify.com → Conversion Setup
  2. Copy the snippet from conversion-script.js
  3. Add it only on pages that confirm success:
    • order confirmation / thank-you page
    • lead form success page
    • booking success page
  4. Publish/deploy changes
<script defer src="https://tracker.clickfortify.com/s/c.js"></script>

Important: do not place the conversion script on every page.

Optional: Custom Conversion Events

If needed, you can send custom conversion events:

CF.conversion("Purchase completed", 99.99)
CF.conversion("Contact Form Submitted")

Validation Checklist

After deployment, confirm:

  • Protection script is detected in Tracking Script
  • Conversion setup is detected after first real conversion
  • Paid traffic lands on tracked pages
  • Click records begin appearing in ClickFortify
  • No setup notices remain unresolved

Common Failure Points

  • Script added to only some pages (not globally)
  • Conversion script installed on wrong page
  • Site changes not published/deployed
  • GTM changes not published
  • Tracking template in Google Ads not enabled where required
