Every site on your platform can run a small, consent-gated, first-party analytics collector, with the results shown in the portal's per-site Analytics tab. No third-party tag, no data shipped to someone else's product: the data lands in your own database, where you can actually use it.
Position it for what it is: a Website Analytics Dashboard built into the platform. It is not a Google Analytics replacement, and it does not try to be - a client who wants GA4 can still have it (see below).
What Gets Collected
With analytics enabled, the published site records, per visit and page:
Clicks - where on the page visitors clicked, plus which element they clicked
Scroll depth - how far down the page each visitor reached
Attention - real time-in-view per vertical slice of the page: where visitors actually lingered, not just where they scrolled past
Dwell - total engaged time, paused while the tab is hidden
Campaign - the UTM parameters the visitor arrived with
Collection is consent-gated and first-party. Visitor IP addresses are handled server-side and stored only as a salted, one-way hash, never in raw form.
The Analytics Tab
Illustrated guide to choosing a page, comparing Clicks, Scroll, and Attention views, and switching between Desktop and Mobile. The marks are sample data, not a live traffic screenshot.Staged local Page engagement interface with a synthetic services page, sample heat marks, Clicks, Scroll, and Attention choices, and Desktop and Mobile controls. No visitor data was collected for this image.
The illustration shows how to read the controls. Actual maps appear only after analytics is enabled, the site is redeployed, and visits have been collected.
Open a site in the portal and pick Analytics (right under Dashboard):
Page Engagement
Pick a page and see its maps overlaid on a real full-page screenshot of that page, with a Desktop / Mobile switch:
Map
What It Shows
Clicks
A density heatmap of every click
Scroll
A fade showing how many visitors reached each depth, with an average-fold line
Attention
A fade showing real time-in-view - where people actually stopped and read
Beside the maps: per-page sessions, average scroll, average time, the scroll-depth distribution, a most-clicked elements table, and Top campaigns.
Bot Watch
A full-width table ranking visiting IPs by a bot score: repeat hits with little or no scrolling, zero clicks, and short dwell get flagged as likely scrapers. Use it to discount junk traffic when reading the engagement numbers.
Turning It On
Seedly Sites Analytics settings for a synthetic Example Studio site. First-party analytics and UTM persistence are off, and the section notes that changes take effect on the next site deploy.
Two independent toggles live in the site's Settings, under Analytics:
First-party analytics - the collector and the Analytics tab data
UTM tracking - campaign persistence, with an optional hand-off to the CRM form embeds you list (see Forms)
Both are off by default. After enabling either one, redeploy the site - the collector ships inside the published static output, so a settings change alone does not start collection. See Deploying.
Page Screenshots
The click/scroll/attention maps draw on a full-page screenshot of each page. Screenshots refresh automatically after each deploy, so the maps stay lined up with the current layout, and you can also recapture them on demand between deploys.
Campaigns and Attribution
With UTM tracking on, the campaign a visitor arrived with persists across their visit and is stamped onto their analytics session. The Top campaigns table then shows which sources drive engaged traffic per page. With CRM embed attribution also on, the same campaign values are passed to the CRM form embeds whose hostnames you list, so leads from those forms carry their campaign.
A/B Tests
The per-site sidebar includes an A/B Tests tab. Treat it as experimental: it is off by default behind an instance-level feature flag, and while an enabled experiment does split traffic between page variants and record impressions, there is no conversion-goal tracking, so it measures the split rather than picking a winner. Leave it off unless you have a specific reason.
Using Google Analytics Alongside It
If a client insists on GA4 (or any other third-party tag), add it under the site's Tracking tab as a tracking script; the platform even defers the heavy tag loaders so they do not hurt page speed. The first-party dashboard and a third-party tag coexist fine - one is yours, the other is theirs.
