What is a Header and Footer Code?
The Header and Footer Code sections in Vizlly allow you to add codes received from external services to your website. These codes, also referred to as third-party scripts, can enhance the performance of your Vizlly website, track travel shoppers on the Internet, analyze users using Analytics packages, etc. There are many external services that provide helpful codes to add to your website. Some examples of these external services are Meta tags, Google AdWords, Google Tag Manager, Sojern, Hotjar and Bing Webmaster Tools, among many others.
Why are these codes important?
These codes connect external services with your Vizlly website to enhance and track the performance of your website. They are not intended to add content or styles to your website, though. Whether you are adding re-marketing codes, meta tags, or something else, these codes will improve your digital marketing efforts.
How to add codes using Vizlly
The first thing you will need to do is get the code from the vendor you have purchased it from. When you receive the code, your vendor will indicate if the code needs to be placed at the top or the bottom of your website page. If you need to place the code at the top of the page, add it to the Header section in Vizlly; if you need to place it at the bottom of the page, add it to the Footer section.
To add a Header or Footer code to ALL of your website pages:
- Login to Vizlly. Hover over Publisher and select ‘Web Marketing’
- Hover over your website and select ‘Edit’
- Click on Settings.
- Scroll down to Website Settings. Here you will find the Header and Footer sections. Paste your code into the appropriate section and click Save. Note that you can add as many codes as you’d like, just be sure to click Save after adding each code.
To add the code ONLY to a specific page:
- Login to Vizlly. Hover over Publisher and select ‘Web Marketing’
- Hover over your website and select ‘Edit’
- Select the page you want to add your code to
- Scroll down to where the Header and Footer Code sections are. Paste your code into the appropriate section and click Save. Note that you can add as many codes as you’d like, just be sure to click Save after adding each code.
Please note:
- Your service provider should instruct you where to place their code
- Header Code inserts code into the <head> section of your web page
- Footer Code inserts code before the closing </body> tag of your web page
- If your website malfunctions after you add the code, head back into Vizlly and delete the code. Your site should be fine once you remove the code. Once it has been deleted, contact the vendor who provided you with the code to fix the issue.
- Leonardo does not take responsibility for codes given by third-party providers.
