Ghost Installation

Add Jetrack to your Ghost site to track readership and understand your audience.

Installation Steps

Log in to your Ghost Admin panel
Click Settings in the left sidebar
Scroll down and click Code Injection
In the Site Header section, paste your BrandJet tracking script:

<script
    async
    defer
    data-website-id="your-unique-id"
    src="https://analytics.brandjet.ai/script.js">
</script>

Click Save

Your tracking script will now load on all pages of your Ghost publication.

What Gets Tracked

BrandJet automatically tracks all Ghost content:

Blog posts
Pages
Tags pages
Author pages
Homepage
Custom routes

Site-Wide vs. Post-Specific

Site-Wide Tracking (Recommended)

Code Injection in Settings applies to your entire Ghost site.

Post/Page-Specific Tracking

To track individual posts or pages:

Open the post or page in the editor
Click the Settings gear icon
Scroll to Code Injection
Add your script to the Post/Page Header
Publish or update

This is useful if you want different tracking for specific content.

Ghost Themes

The tracking script works with all Ghost themes, including:

Official Ghost themes (Casper, Edition, London, etc.)
Custom themes
Third-party themes from the Ghost marketplace

No theme modifications needed!

Members & Subscriptions

For Ghost sites with memberships:

BrandJet tracks both public and members-only content
Member activity is tracked just like regular visitors
No special configuration needed

Custom Integrations

Ghost's Code Injection works site-wide and integrates seamlessly with:

Custom routes
Collection pages
Dynamic URLs
API-generated pages

Testing

Save your Code Injection settings
Visit your Ghost site in a browser
Open Developer Tools (F12)
Check the Network tab for script.js
Verify data appears in your BrandJet dashboard

Ghost(Pro) vs. Self-Hosted

These instructions work for both:

Ghost(Pro) - Managed Ghost hosting
Self-Hosted Ghost - Your own server

Code Injection is available in both setups.

Troubleshooting

Script Not Loading

Make sure you clicked Save in Code Injection
Clear your browser cache
Check that code is in Site Header, not Site Footer
View page source to confirm script is present

Not Tracking Posts

Site Header applies to all posts automatically
You don't need to add code to individual posts
If using post-specific injection, make sure the post is published

Analytics Not Updating

Wait 30-60 seconds after visiting pages
Disable ad blockers when testing
Verify your website ID is correct
Check browser console for errors

Multiple Publications

If you run multiple Ghost sites:

Create a separate website in BrandJet for each publication
Use the unique tracking script for each site
Track performance separately

Best Practices

Use Site Header for tracking your entire publication
Only use post-specific injection if needed for special cases
Keep tracking scripts in the header, not footer
Test after installation to verify tracking

Advanced: Theme Integration

For theme developers, you can also add the script directly to your theme:

Edit default.hbs in your theme and add before </head>:

<script
    async
    defer
    data-website-id="your-unique-id"
    src="https://analytics.brandjet.ai/script.js">
</script>

Note: Using Code Injection is recommended over theme editing for easier management.
