Analytics Tags – Blue Raven Knowledge Base

The Analytics Tags tool (found under Blue Raven > Tools > Searchability > Analytics Tags) lets you add tracking codes from major analytics platforms like Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, and Ahrefs without editing your theme’s header or footer files.

This reduces the risk of breaking your site and makes it easy to manage all your tracking in one place.

Why Use the Analytics Tags Tool?

  • No coding required: Paste your tracking ID, toggle a switch, and you’re done.
  • Avoid theme edits: Tracking stays intact even when you update or switch themes.
  • Prevent conflicts: Disable individual trackers without removing others.
  • Works with caching plugins: Tags load reliably on all pages.

Note: This feature is available in both the free and Pro versions of Blue Raven. No feathers are used, analytics tags do not consume credits.

Ahrefs Analytics

  • What to add: Your Ahrefs tracking key (e.g., 234d23d23).
  • Where to find it: In your Ahrefs Analytics project settings, in the provided script. It appears as the value of the data-key attribute.
  • How to add:
    • Paste only the key (like 234d23d23) into the Ahrefs Analytics ID field.
    • Enable “Add Ahrefs Analytics Tracking”.

Example: From ... data-key="234d23d23" ..., use 234d23d23.

Best Practices

  • Only enable the trackers you actively use extra scripts slow down your site.
  • Double-check your IDs a typo means no data will be collected.
  • Verify in your analytics dashboards that data is flowing within 24 hours.
  • If you use Google Tag Manager, avoid duplicating tags use one system or the other.

Troubleshooting

  • No data showing up?
    Confirm your ID is correct and that the toggle is enabled. Clear your site cache if you use a caching plugin.
  • Seeing duplicate tracking?
    Check if another plugin (or your theme) is also adding the same tag. Disable redundant sources.
  • Tag validation failing?
    Ensure you pasted only the ID, not the full script or extra spaces.
