## How to Track WordPress Form Conversions

You can track WordPress form conversions by setting goals in Google analytics. In this method, you need to manually add tracking code to your site and then configure a **Goal** in Google Analytics.

And if you’ve more than one form on your website, then you need to set a goal for every form, which is a bit time-consuming and technical.

We recommend that you use the [MonsterInsights plugin](https://wpforms.com/monsterinsights-review/) because it’s the easiest way to track your WordPress form conversions.

MonsterInsights, hands down, is the best analytics plugin for WordPress. You can track all types of WordPress forms and view a detailed report, including the number of impressions, conversions, and conversion rates.

MonsterInsights also provides data that helps you understand where your site visitors are coming from and what they do once they land on your site.

One of the benefits of using MonsterInsights is that you can view all your form conversion data in your WordPress dashboard.

Now let’s see how you can use MonsterInsights to track your WordPress form conversion.

On your WordPress website dashboard, **Go to Plugins » Add New.**
