I;ve never used Fast Secure Contact Form…is there an “Additional Setting” options under the Settings…or something like a “Post Submit HTML” like in Square Space?
Regarding CF7 Response…
If it doesn’t work…as for sending events into Google Analytics…try the code snippet from this post:
http://contactform7.com/tracking-form-submissions-with-google-analytics/
on_sent_ok: “ga(‘send’, ‘event’, ‘Contact Form’, ‘submit’);”
The reason I may be slightly incorrect is I use Google Tag Manager…
so, if you used this…then in Goals you’d modify the setup a bit using either:
event category is equal to Contact Form
(remember, it’s literal and case sensitive in setting up Goals in GA)

Well, let me say this before I submit a solution.
What I do is track all CF7 Form Submissions as an “event” in Google Analytics.
Then, I tell Google Analytics to create a Goal from this Event.
Then, since my Google Analytics and AdWords are linked, you should be able to to see the Goal Conversions/Form Submissions attributable to AdWords in AdWords and/or in Google Analytics…
So, the idea is to FIRST add some javascript to CF7 that sends the event into Google Analytics.
ADDING THE CODE TO CONTACT FORM 7
=================================1. Enter Contact Form 7 in WP.
2. Select “edit” which form you want to track
3. There are 4 tabs at the top of your form labeled: Form, Mail, Messages, Additional Settings.
4. Select the last one labeled “Addition Settings”
5. Add this line of code:
on_sent_ok: “dataLayer.push({‘event’: ‘contact-form-submitted’});”
Now, when a form is submitted the event “contact-form-submitted” is sent into Google Analytics (assuming you use Google Analytics)
6. If you do a test submit or two you should see this in Real Time Events in Google Analytics or after testing…wait a few hours and check your Events in Google Analytics. Look under Event Label and you should see “contact-form-subitted”
7. In your Google Analytics under Admin…select the View you use to monitor your traffic. Click on Goals to create a new Goal based on this Event Label…
Goal > +New Goal > Custom > “Give it a Name” >
and then set the Event Conditions to
Label – Equals to – contact-form-submitted
Save and you should be done.
Then in AdWords, after a short while you should be able to Import this new Goal “Give it a Name” and those AdWords Conversions attributed to any submissions will be registered.
Hope this helps.

In reply to: Google Analytics tracking code on front endJVert,
Now I took a look at the source code and saw ZERO Google Analytics code in any pages. To confirm this, I ran a report at gadetective.com and got this result:
Results for http://www.watercontrolinc.com
0% Correctness score0% of your pages are using the same UA-number and same codeversion.
0% Pages with code0% of your pages had some kind of Google Analytics code.
So, maybe you should check your analytics report for the date range of 2/3 – 2/4 and see if you’ve logged any traffic in your Google Analytics account and see what it says. As for the above validation errors, those can be troublesome as well.
You might want to also contact your developer to have them make the corrections and use simple hooks to install the GA tracking code.

In reply to: Google Analytics tracking code on front endHey, if you deactivate or delete the plugin the code should not show.
If you are using the Genesis Framework you can easily insert you GATC by reading this page:

There are alot of ways to do it, but in all honesty, I wouldn’t use a plug-in because GA is coming out with a new version soon and then you’ll need a new plugin to capture the value of the new code etc. ad naseum…but just following the above instructions you’ll be able to make edits in the future easily…plus, that article is correct in placing the GATC code correctly!
Best, T. Alexander… 8)
PS: FOr the future, you can also always use the GA Forums, very helpful!
