REQUIREMENTS
1. DOMAIN
If you purchased your domain with Sir please skip this step. If your domain is with another domain provider please contact them and have them point your domain to our servers. For help call our support team at (480) 624-2500 and say “I WANT TO CONNECT MY DOMAIN TO MY WORDPRESS.” IMPORTANT: If you have emails connected to your domain let our support team know that. We will need to only point your IP address over. There is a $30 fee if you need us to do this step for you.
2. ANALYTICS
Visit google.com/analytics and sign up using your normal gmail login info. Go through the steps of setting it up. Upload your tracking ID to our project manager. Example: UA-1234567-8
