WP Maps supports Google Analytics integration which allows you to monitor and analyze the activity in the locator widget on your website. As a result, you will be able to gather valuable information that is related to your customer's browsing activity. In addition, you will be able to gain insights into information such as:
- Which of your stores are most visited
- What are your most viewed products
- How many visitors visited your website
- And much more
How to Setup Google Analytics on WP Map
Go to the “Super Administrator” page on the WP Maps platform. Under the “Configuration” section, you will see the “Analytics” sub-tab. Here you will need to add two IDs to set Google Analytics on WP Maps.
