Analysing weak spots
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a fantastic free tool offered by Google which helps you track customer activity on your website. Your ShopWired expert can create a Google Analytics account for you and connect your website to it by installing the tracking code in your ShopWired account.
If you use advertising platforms such as Google Adwords or Facebook we can also link these to your account by installing the conversion tracking code. Having your expert set this up for you helps you to know right from the start how your website is working for you.
Hitting the ground running
Domain name DNS & go live
When you’re ready to launch your website your expert will take care of the technical side of linking your domain name with your ShopWired website by changing the DNS settings on your domain name. We’ll then guide you through the entire launching process, so you know how to get it right from the start.
We’ll check every part of your website to ensure it’s working correctly and is optimised for conversions.
