Now, copy your tracking code and head to your site to add the code.
Note: In this example, we are using a WordPress website. You can go either go to the theme settings and add the code there, into the “head” section of your website, or you can do it by using a third-party plug-in like Insert Header and Footer that allows you to easily add code to the head.
And that’s it! To test out how the tracking works, please go to your website and click on one of the icons, for example:
Now go to your Google Analytics account -> Reports -> Real-time and see if you can see the event appear there in real time:

And that’s it! If you need any assistance with setting this up, please don’t hesitate to drop us a line!
