Display Search Terms from Google Visitors

Snippets by IsItWP

Are you looking for a way to display the Google search terms visitors use to find your website? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to display search terms from Google visitors in WordPress.

Instructions:

All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s template file where you want to display search terms>:

<?php
$refer = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
          if (strpos($refer, "google")) {
                         $refer_string = parse_url($refer, PHP_URL_QUERY);
                         parse_str($refer_string, $vars);
                         $search_terms = $vars['q'];
                         echo 'Welcome Google visitor! You searched for the following terms to get here: ';
                         echo $search_terms;
              };
?>
