How do I install the Matomo tracking code on my GoDaddy Website Builder pages?

GoDaddy provides a Website Builder that lets you create your own websites. Have you ever wondered how to integrate Matomo Analytics with your GoDaddy Website Builder pages? Integrating Matomo will help you get the insights of visitors behaviour on you website and increase your conversions.

You can add the tracking code manually with some modifications. The code is installed on the site using an iFrame so advanced javascript functions like heatmaps and session recordings are not available.

You will need Matomo (Cloud or On-Premise) and your Godaddy account.
