How to Track Links and Button Clicks in Your Membership Site

Incorporating a calls-to-action in your membership site is a huge part of your business' content strategy.

Whether it be links or buttons, it is important to be able to track each click to better understand how your customers are interacting with your membership website.

Although Google Analytics is a great way to track links, another great way that we recommend is by using a tool called MonsterInsights. In this post, we’ll show you how to track links and button clicks in your WordPress membership site using MonsterInsights.

What Is MonsterInsights And Why Should I Use It?

MonsterInsights is a WordPress plugin that helps users add, customize, and manage their Google Analytics on their website with ease!

All it takes is the click of a button to enable all of the features that would probably take you days to figure out if you were to manually work with Google Analytics! This plugin is easy for beginners to learn and doesn't require any technical savvy to use.

4. Pick a profile to finish connecting.
5. After everything is finalized, you will be taken back to the MonsterInsights setup page to review the reccomended settings. Review and change these settings as you wish, then click the ‘Save and Continue’ button at the end.
6. You will then be given the option to install a few different addons. You have the option to install the plugin or continue without it.
