## Welcome to DATALYR

DATALYR is a marketing attribution platform that tracks visitor behavior, connects ad spend to revenue, and shows you which campaigns actually drive sales.

## Quick Setup Checklist

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Your Account">
    [Sign up for DATALYR](https://datalyr.com/signup) with email or Google.

    You'll answer a few quick questions about your business.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Your Site">
    Create your first site by entering:

    * Project name
    * Primary domain (example.com)
    * Timezone
    * Currency (optional)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy Your Tracking Code">
    After creating your site, you'll see your tracking script:

    ```html theme={null}
    <script
      defer
      src="https://track.datalyr.com/dl.js"
      data-workspace-id="YOUR_ID">

    Copy this code (your actual workspace ID will replace `YOUR_ID`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install on Your Site">
    Paste the tracking code into your website's `<head>` section.

## What Gets Tracked Automatically

Once installed, DATALYR automatically tracks:

* **Page views** - Every page visit on your site
* **Visitors** - Unique visitors across sessions (cookie-based)
* **UTM parameters** - Campaign source, medium, and content from URLs
* **Referrers** - Where visitors came from
* **Device info** - Browser, OS, screen size
