Getting Started with Zenovay: A Quick Setup Guide

Welcome to Zenovay! This guide will walk you through setting up analytics on your website. By the end, you will have real-time visitor tracking, the 3D globe visualization, and actionable insights—all in about 5 minutes.

Step 1: Create Your Account

If you have not already, start by creating your Zenovay account:

Your account includes a free plan with access to core features. No credit card required. Upgrade anytime for more websites, team members, and data retention.

  • Visit auth.zenovay.com
  • Sign up with your email or use Google/GitHub authentication
  • Verify your email address

Step 2: Add Your First Website

After signing in, you will be prompted to add your first website:

  • Click “Add Website” from your dashboard
  • Enter your domain (e.g., yoursite.com)
  • Choose your timezone for accurate reporting
  • Click “Create”

Step 3: Install the Tracking Script

After adding your website, you will receive a unique tracking script. Here is how to install it:

Option A: HTML (Any Website)

Add this script to the <head> section of your HTML:

Option B: Next.js Add the script to your app/layout.tsx:

import Script from 'next/script' export default function RootLayout({ children }) { return ( {children} ) } Option C: React / Vite Add the script to your index.html:

Step 4: Verify Installation After deploying your site with the tracking script, verify it is working:

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Visit your website in a new browser tab
  • Go back to your Zenovay dashboard
  • Click “Verify Installation”
  • You should see a green checkmark confirming the script is detected
  • • Make sure the domain in the script matches your actual domain
  • • Clear your browser cache and try again
  • • Check that the script is in the <head> section
  • • Disable ad blockers temporarily to test
