Welcome to Zeacon! This guide will walk you through installing Zeacon on your website, uploading your first videos, and launching interactive video experiences for your visitors. The setup process only takes a few minutes.

Written by Jay Gounder

Step 1: Install the Zeacon Code Snippet

To get started, log in to your Zeacon account and go to the onboarding setup page.

You’ll see a screen similar to this:

<!-- Start of Zeacon Code -->
<script type="text/javascript" async="" id="zeacon-sdk"
src="https://zeacon.com/sdk/correlator.js?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY"></script>
<!-- End of Zeacon Code -->

Copy the Zeacon code snippet and paste it inside the <head> section of your website.

Adding the code snippet allows Zeacon to detect your website pages and display videos to your visitors.

The Zeacon code snippet is also available on https://zeacon.com/settings/installation if you forgot to copy it during the onboarding step.


How to Add the Code Snippet to Your Website

The exact installation steps depend on the platform your website uses.

Squarespace

Paste the Zeacon snippet using Squarespace Code Injection.


Webflow

Add the Zeacon snippet to the Head Code section in your project settings.


WordPress

You can add the Zeacon snippet using a plugin like WPCode or directly inside your theme header.


Shopify

Add the Zeacon snippet inside your theme.liquid file before the closing </head> tag.

Google Tag Manager

You can also install Zeacon through Google Tag Manager.


Step 2: Continue the Setup

After installing the snippet, return to Zeacon and click Continue.

Zeacon will verify your website installation and move you to the next onboarding step.


Step 3: Add Videos to Your Zeacon Library

You’ll now see the “Add videos to your library” screen.

You can:

  • Upload videos directly from your computer

  • Import videos from an online source

Once your videos are added, they’ll appear in your Zeacon video library.


Step 4: Add Interactive Links to Your Videos

After uploading a video:

  1. Open your Zeacon library

  2. Click the pencil/edit icon next to the video

  3. Add relevant links and calls-to-action

Examples include:

  • Product pages

  • Booking pages

  • Contact forms

  • Collection pages

  • Promotional landing pages

These links allow visitors to interact directly with your videos while browsing your website.


Step 5: Map Videos to Website Pages

Next, Zeacon will take you to the Content Map page.

This is where you decide which videos appear on specific pages of your website.

For example:

Website Page

Suggested Video

Homepage

Brand introduction

Product page

Product demo

Collection page

Shopping showcase

Contact page

Customer testimonial

Review your content map carefully to make sure videos are matched to the right pages.


Step 6: Turn Zeacon On

Once your content map looks good:

  1. Switch Zeacon ON from the Content Map page

  2. Visit your website to confirm videos are appearing correctly

Your interactive video experiences are now live.


Understanding Split Test Mode (Free Plan)

If you are using the Zeacon Free Plan, Zeacon will automatically run in Split Test Mode.

This means:

  • Approximately half of your website visitors will see videos

  • The other half will see your normal website experience

This allows Zeacon to measure performance improvements accurately, including:

  • Engagement

  • Conversion rate

  • Time on site

  • Video interactions

You’ll be able to clearly compare how Zeacon performs against your normal website experience.


Upgrade to Zeacon Pro

To show videos to 100% of your website visitors, upgrade to Zeacon Pro.

Zeacon Pro removes split testing and enables full video coverage across your site.
