## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do I need all three tracking tools?">
    No, start with Google Analytics as your foundation. Add Facebook Pixel when you run Facebook ads, and Microsoft Clarity when you want to improve user experience. Each tool serves a different purpose.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Will tracking slow down my website?">
    No, these tracking scripts are optimized and load asynchronously, meaning they won't affect your site's loading speed or user experience.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is tracking free?">
    * **Google Analytics**: Free for most coaching businesses
    * **Facebook Pixel**: Free (you only pay for ads)
    * **Microsoft Clarity**: Completely free with no limits
    * **Custom scripts**: Depends on the service
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I add other tracking tools?">
    Yes! Use the Custom JS field to add any other tracking scripts like:

    * Google Tag Manager
    * Hotjar
    * LinkedIn Insight Tag
    * TikTok Pixel
    * Other marketing tools
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How long before I see data?">
    * **Google Analytics**: 24-48 hours for full data (real-time available immediately)
    * **Facebook Pixel**: Immediately for pixel fires, 24 hours for processed data
    * **Microsoft Clarity**: 2-3 hours after installation
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Troubleshooting

<Warning>
  **Not seeing data?** After adding tracking codes, it can take 24-48 hours for data to appear. Always verify installation using each platform's debugging tools.
</Warning>

### Quick fixes:

* **Scripts not saving**: Click "Publish Scripts & Analytics" button after entering your IDs
* **Invalid tracking ID**: Double-check you're copying the entire ID including prefixes (G- for GA4)
* **No data showing**: Clear your website cache and verify the scripts are published
