With WP Google Analytics Events, you don’t have to write code to use Events in Google Analytics.

The plugin allows you to fire events whenever someone interacts or views elements on your website.
You can create a Google Analytics event when a visitor scrolls down and views your pricing table. Track video, banners, Call to Action buttons, email links, and more.

If you really want to know what people are doing on your website, the default options are limited when it comes to in-page tracking in Google Analytics.
Page tracking is not enough these days, and if you want to match measurable metrics for your KPIs, its necessary to use events.

Tracking events is usually done by writing JavaScript code, and that is not the WordPress way.
That’s why we created WP Google Analytics Events, so you don’t have to write elaborate code every time you want to learn something new about your visitors.
