Prerequisites

  1. You’re an ExactMetrics Pro user or higher.
  2. ExactMetrics is installed and authenticated with Google Analytics.
  3. You’ve deactivated the Ads addon.

Installing the PPC Tracking Addon

While logged into your WordPress site, head into ExactMetrics » Addons.

Next, find the PPC Tracking addon and switch the toggle from off to on.

Once toggled, the addon will be enabled for your WordPress site.

While using the PPC Tracking addon, please ensure the Ads addon is disabled, as both the PPC Tracking and Ads addon do not need to be active at the same time. Please only use 1 addon at a time.
