Overall setup for website

These factors are important when you track page visits and Zoho MarketingHub's web assistant helps you with the features below.

Banners

While tracking visitor activities in your website, it's important that you let them know you are tracking, and give them an option if they don't want you to track their activities. You can do this by adding information banners on your webpages.

To add banners:

  1. From the Navigation toolbar select the Web assistant tab and choose Websites.
  2. Select your domain.
  3. Select the Setup subtab.
  4. Navigate to the Banners section. You will be provided with a default banner which you can edit by clicking the Edit icon.
  5. You can customize the following:
    • Banner content
    • Button content
    • Banner content font, size and color
    • Button content font, size and color and the button padding
  6. Click Save.

You can enable or disable the banner whenever you want.

Alias domains

  1. From the Navigation toolbar select the Web assistant tab and choose Websites.
  2. Select your domain.
  3. Select the Setup subtab.
  4. Navigate to the Alias domains section and click Add.

You can add a maximum of three alias domains.

For the alias domains, you will have to embed the tracking code generated for the main domain.
