Installed HubSpot Tracking Code On Your Website
If your website is not hosted on HubSpot but you have pages that are on Hubspot, then you must install the HubSpot tracking code on your non-HubSpot pages in order to capture their analytics.
The HubSpot tracking code helps you monitor:
- How well your website is generating traffic and leads
- How you can enhance the traffic coming to your website
- How you can turn that traffic into leads, and thereby, customers
Steps to copy the tracking code in your HubSpot account
1. Click on the settings icon in the main navigation bar in your HubSpot account.
2. Click on Reports > Tracking Code on the left-hand side menu.
3. Below the Embed code section, click Copy. Or you can also send the tracking code to a team member by clicking on Email to my web developer.
Note: Before installing the tracking code, the user must log in to HubSpot to complete the steps.
4. Now, simply paste the tracking code you copied just before the closing tag in the HTML code on each non-Hubspot page of your website.

You can have the Hubspot tracking code on your WordPress website in two ways:
- With Plugin
- Without Plugin (manually)
