The Get set up checklist

New accounts get a short checklist at the top of the dashboard: add your script, see your first visit, set a goal.

A real quietstats screen, taken with a throwaway test account that was deleted afterwards.

What it does

A card called Get set up that ticks each step off by itself, using data quietstats already has.

Why it matters

Most people who never see a first visit give up. The checklist gets you to real numbers, then gets out of the way.

How to use it

  1. Open your dashboard in the first 30 days of a new account.
  2. Step 1: copy your snippet (or open the WordPress, Shopify or other install help), then press Check my site.
  3. Step 2: visit your site. The live check looks every 5 seconds and ticks the step.
  4. Step 3: add a goal, such as your contact or thank-you page.
  5. Optional step 4: switch on Don’t count my visits. Press Hide checklist whenever you like.

How it works

The Get set up checklist1. A new account (under 30 days old) sees Get set up at the top of the dashboard. 2. Add your script: copy your snippet, use the WordPress/Shopify help, then press Check my site. 3. See your first visit: a live check looks for it every 5 seconds and ticks itself. 4. Set a goal: any goal on the site ticks this step. 5. Optional: switch on Don’t count my visits. 6. The card hides once the three main steps are done, or when you press Hide checklist.1A new account (under 30 days old) sees Get set upat the top of the dashboard.2Add your script: copy your snippet, use theWordPress/Shopify help, then press Check my site.3See your first visit: a live check looks for itevery 5 seconds and ticks itself.4Set a goal: any goal on the site ticks this step.5Optional: switch on Don’t count my visits.6The card hides once the three main steps are done,or when you press Hide checklist.
From the onboarding code. Ticking steps writes nothing: progress comes from data that already exists.

Questions

Can I bring the checklist back?

It shows for accounts under 30 days old until the three main steps are done or you hide it. After that, everything it links to is still on the Sites, Goals and Manage pages.
