Tracking & results

Install on Squarespace

Use Squarespace Code Injection to install the Adwave tracking snippet across your site and verify incoming events.

On this page

First, copy your snippet

Your snippet is one line of code that looks like this, with YOUR_SITE_TOKEN replaced by a code that is unique to your website:

<script async src="https://waverunner.adwave.com/t/YOUR_SITE_TOKEN"></script>

Get the real one from your Adwave account: sign in to copy your site's snippet. You'll land on the Tracking page, which shows your personalized snippet with a Copy snippet button. Each website (business) in your account has its own snippet. If you run more than one site, pick the right one with the switcher at the top of the page. Copy it there, then follow the steps below.

Add the snippet with Code Injection

  1. Log in to your Squarespace site.
  2. Open the Code Injection panel. Use the admin search, or open the panel through Squarespace and choose your site.
  3. Paste your snippet into the Header field (the first one at the top).
  4. Click Save at the top of the panel.

The change takes effect immediately on your live site, on every page.

If Code Injection is missing

Code Injection is available on Core, Plus, and Advanced plans, and on legacy Business and Commerce plans. Check your plan against Squarespace's Code Injection guide before changing your subscription.

Check that it's working

  1. Open your website in a new browser tab and load any page.
  2. Go back to the Tracking page in Adwave (you'll be asked to sign in if you aren't already). The banner at the top turns green on its own when your first visit arrives, usually within a few seconds. No need to reload the page.

To test the installation, click Send a test ping, then Open your site with the test link. The health card reads Receiving as soon as the tag on your page answers. If it does not, the card says what to check next.

If the banner stays amber after a minute, re-check the steps above: the most common causes are pasting the example snippet instead of your personalized one, or forgetting to save or publish the change.
