VisitorPing

How to track visitors on GoDaddy.

GoDaddy Websites + Marketing accepts custom code in an HTML section. Start with one published page and verify that its actual page URL reaches VisitorPing before repeating the setup. If you use WordPress hosted by GoDaddy, use the WordPress installation instead: the host and the website builder are different products.

GoDaddy Websites + Marketing documents custom code as a page section rather than a site-wide head injection. That means you repeat this on every page you want tracked, and any new page you add later starts untracked. It is not a one-time, site-wide setup, and we would rather say so than let you find out from a gap in your data.

What you need

  • • A GoDaddy Websites + Marketing site you can edit and publish.
  • • A VisitorPing site key, in the form vp_ABC23456 — the prefix vp_ and eight characters. The alphabet leaves out I, O, 0 and 1, so there is nothing to misread when copying it.

Install it

  1. 1

    Add an HTML section

    Open a page in the website editor, choose Add Section, search for HTML, and select Add.

  2. 2

    Paste the tag

    Paste the snippet into the HTML box with your own key in place of vp_ABC23456.

    <script defer crossorigin="anonymous" src="https://cdn.visitorping.com/site/vp_ABC23456.js"></script>
  3. 3

    Repeat on every page you want tracked

    There is no site-wide equivalent, so each page needs its own HTML section. Keep a note of which pages you have done.

  4. 4

    Publish and check

    Publish, then open the public site in a private window, move between the pages you instrumented, and confirm each appears in Live Radar.

Check what the HTML section actually tracks

After publishing, open the page in a private browser window, then compare its address with the URL shown in VisitorPing. A successful script download alone does not prove that the page visit was collected.

If custom code runs inside an embedded frame, its URL and browser context can differ from the surrounding page. If the expected domain and page do not arrive, stop and use an installation method that runs in the top-level page. Do not interpret a missing event as zero visitors.

A better option if you have a custom domain

If your GoDaddy site uses a custom domain you can point through Cloudflare, our Cloudflare Worker injects the tag into every page from the edge — no page-by-page sections and nothing to remember when you add a page.

It is more setup once and less maintenance forever. Worth it if the site has more than a handful of pages.

What you will actually see

Per visit: the city and region the network resolves to, where the visitor came from, the page they landed on, their device and browser, and whether they have been before.

You do not get a name, an email address, or an identity. Nobody can give you that from a page view, whatever the marketing says. Geolocation resolves a network rather than a doorstep, so a visitor on a VPN or a mobile network can appear in the wrong city entirely. Treat location as a hint.

You are collecting visitor data, so say so in your privacy notice and check which consent rules apply where your customers are — a question for your own legal advice, not for a setup guide.

If it is not working

A new page has no data
New pages do not inherit the HTML section. Add it to that page too.
The section shows a blank space on the page
The HTML section reserves layout space even though the script renders nothing. Move it to the very bottom of the page so the gap is out of the way.

Find what is costing you search clicks, then watch the fix work.

VisitorPing reads your own Search Console data for the pages losing clicks, then rings your phone the moment someone lands on your website.
