Install ClickSheriff Free

Installing it

1. Download the ZIP using the button above. Do not unzip it — WordPress wants the ZIP itself.
2. Upload it. In your WordPress admin go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the file, then Install Now and Activate.
3. Open ClickSheriff → Setup. It runs six checks against your own site data and tells you exactly which link in the measurement chain is missing.
4. Turn on auto-tagging in Google Ads (Admin → Account settings → Auto-tagging). Without it a paid visit carries no Google click ID and cannot be matched to a billed click.
5. Add your own addresses in Settings — your office and mobile IPs. Checking your own ad is the most common reason a business ends up looking suspicious to itself.
6. Wait. Until roughly 30 paid visits across 7 days, the dashboard says Learning and asks you to do nothing. That is deliberate.

What it will and will not do once active

• It records visits that arrive from a Google Ads click and scores them.
• It shows whether measurement is working before it shows any finding.
• It never hides, redirects or turns away a visitor. Your phone number and call-to-action are shown to everyone.
• It never contacts your Google Ads account, and it makes no outbound calls at all unless you switch on Telegram alerts.
• It stores visit data in your own database and deletes it on the retention schedule you set (90 days by default).

If something goes wrong

Deactivate the plugin from Plugins → Installed Plugins. That stops all recording immediately and changes nothing else on your site. Deleting the plugin removes its database tables and settings.
