Getting started
Where do I paste the script?
On every page of your site, just above </head>. Your script is on Install in your dashboard.
Not sure where that is? See it per platform.
How do I install it on Shopify?
- Online Store, Themes, Edit code: paste the script in theme.liquid, just above </head>.
- Settings, Customer events, Add custom pixel: paste the Sightwick pixel, with Permission: Not required.
Both codes are on Install. The pixel brings in your orders.
How do I install it on WordPress?
- Plugins, Add Plugin: install and activate WPCode.
- Code Snippets, Header & Footer: paste the script in Header, then Save Changes.
Can I use Google Tag Manager?
Yes. Add the script as a Custom HTML tag on All Pages, with No additional consent required. Let it fire on every page without waiting for your cookie banner.
Do I have to set up every form myself?
No. The scan finds your forms, your phone, WhatsApp and email buttons, and your booking and chat widgets. You pick which ones count.
How do I know it works?
Open Live events, visit your own site and press Refresh. Your visit is in the list.
I can't log in
On the login page, press Forgot password? and we email you a link. It works for 1 hour. Signed up with Google or Apple? Log in with that same button.

The scan
What does the scan look for?
Quote, demo, contact and callback forms. Phone, email and WhatsApp buttons. Booking widgets and chat, with their bookings and started chats. For embeds like Typeform and Intercom, we help you set them up.
How many pages does it read?
25 pages of your site by default. Pages such as contact, quote, demo and pricing go first.
What does May break mean?
Each find shows its evidence and a score. A low score adds a "May break" note. A find can start switched on and still say "May break": check those first. Open Evidence to see the piece of your page it was found on.
The scan missed a form
Add its thank-you page under Add a page on Conversion actions, and pick its lead type. A lead type the scan already found cannot also take a page.
The scan misread something
Switch it off on Conversion actions. Do this before you connect Google Ads: Google actions are made at the moment you connect.
-
Something is not counted
A lead or sale is missing
Open Live events and do it yourself on your site: send a test form or click the phone number. Press Refresh.
See the row? Then counting works. No row? Write to us with the domain and the time.
Shopify orders are missing
Check that the Sightwick pixel is in Shopify under Settings, Customer events. Use exactly one: two Sightwick pixels count every order twice.
My numbers differ from Meta or Google
That is normal. Meta and Google also count people who saw an ad and bought later another way. Attribution shows what they say next to what you really sold.
A form stopped counting
We check every conversion action each week. What stopped is at the top of Overview.
Sightwick shows more visits than GA4
We count every time someone opens your site, with or without cookies. That is often more than GA4 shows.

How counting works
Which ad gets the sale?
By default, the sale goes to the last click before it. First a Meta click, then a Google click, then a direct buy: by default, Google gets the sale.
On Attribution, pick First touch to see which ad came first.
Why does one visit send one lead?
A visitor asks for a quote, taps your email and downloads your brochure. By default, only the most valuable of the three goes to your ad platforms. The other two still show in your own reports.
Where does the campaign name come from?
From utm_campaign in your ad links. Campaign links in your dashboard has the text to paste in each ad platform you use.
What counts as a phone or WhatsApp lead?
A tap on your number or WhatsApp button. Sightwick counts the tap, not the conversation after it, and never reads your chats.
When can I judge a campaign?
Counting starts the day Sightwick goes on your site. Judge a campaign on several weeks of sales and leads.
Is a click in Instagram linked to Safari?
No. An ad click in the Instagram app and a later tap in Safari are not linked.
What does Meta's number count?
Meta's number counts purchases for a shop, leads for a lead site. You see it next to what you really sold, on Attribution.

Connecting your ads
How do I connect Meta?
Open Meta under Delivery and press Connect Meta. Sign in with Meta and pick your pixel and ad account.
How do I connect Google Ads?
Open Google Ads under Delivery and press Connect Google Ads. Sign in with Google and choose your account.
How do I connect TikTok?
Open TikTok under Delivery and press Connect TikTok. Or open Advanced and paste your pixel ID and your keys from TikTok Events Manager.
How do I connect ChatGPT Ads?
Open ChatGPT Ads under Delivery. Paste your pixel ID and your Conversions API key. No sign-in.
How do I see what was sent?
Open Delivery. It shows per platform what was sent and when.
What does Delivery say next to each platform?
Look at the word next to the platform.
Sending, "waiting for the first conversion": the first lead or sale since the time on that row is still to come.
Off: press Manage, then Turn on.
Quiet or Failing: write to us.
Can you set up Google Analytics 4?
Yes. Write to us and we set it up for you.

Google Ads conversion actions
When should I connect Google Ads?
After the scan. Google actions are made at the moment you connect. Check the scan's list first, and switch off anything it misread.
What does Sightwick make in Google Ads?
Each lead type switched on at that moment gets its own conversion action, such as "Sightwick: Quote request". WhatsApp taps and bookings each get their own too.
Which new actions start primary?
In a category without a primary action, one new action starts primary. The rest start secondary. Google bids on those only once you make them primary or add them to a custom goal.
I already count leads with my own tag
Keep one primary action per form. After connecting, check Goals in Google Ads.
What value do leads carry in Google Ads?
Each lead that reaches Google Ads carries its value. Set your value before you connect Google Ads.
-
Leads and their value
Where do I see my leads?
On Leads: who got in touch, from which ad, and what came of it.
How do I mark a won deal?
On Leads, press Update a lead. Pick Meeting, Qualified, Won or Lost. With Won you fill in the amount.
How do I send deals from my CRM?
Copy the webhook URL from Leads, under Advanced, and let your CRM post to it. Zapier (paid plan), Make and a HubSpot workflow (Data Hub Professional) work too.
How do WhatsApp leads get their ad?
Sightwick adds a short code to the first WhatsApp message. That code ties the chat to the ad. Turn it on or off on Leads, under Advanced.
How do I change what a lead is worth?
On Conversion actions, type an amount per action. For your deal value and close rate, write to us and we set them.
What is a lead worth by default?
Until you send your numbers, a new site starts from our estimate: €5,000 times 0.2, so €1,000 per lead. A quote request is then worth €900.
How are lead types weighted?
Your deal value times your close rate, times a weight per action. A booked meeting weighs 1.00, a quote request 0.90 and an email click 0.35. These weights are our own assumptions.
-
WhatsApp and bookings
How should my WhatsApp button link?
Straight to wa.me or api.whatsapp.com, not to a page in between. The scan finds your WhatsApp buttons and widgets.
Can my ad open WhatsApp directly?
No. Your ad has to open your site first. Ads that open WhatsApp directly skip your site, so there is no tap to count.
Which bookings count as a lead?
A booking in a calendar embedded on your own site. Embed it before the scan runs. A booking page outside your site is not counted.
Does the WhatsApp code go in my privacy policy?
Yes, on a site without a shop, where the WhatsApp reference code is on by default. Name it in your privacy policy, or turn it off under Advanced on Leads.
Do WhatsApp taps count on a web shop?
Yes, on Leads. On a web shop, taps and bookings stay out of your ads by default.
What goes to Meta and Google?
Taps and bookings go back to Meta with their value. In Google Ads, taps and bookings each get their own conversion action. By default, one conversion per visit goes out.

Billing and cancelling
How does the free month work?
Your free month starts at your first sale or lead, or 30 days after you add a payment method, whichever comes first. It has no limit on conversions. Cancel before it ends and you pay nothing.
How do I change my plan?
Open Plan & billing in your dashboard and press Upgrade. Pick the plan you want and confirm. On Agency, write to us.
What if I go over my plan?
At 80% you get an email. Go over two months in a row and you move up one plan from the next month. We email you first and never stop measuring. On Agency we email you.
How do I cancel?
On Plan & billing, press Cancel plan. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
Where are my invoices?
On Plan & billing, under Invoices. You change your payment method there too.
