Alfred AI - Plain-English Website Analytics for Small Business

Alfred is the easy website analytics plugin for small business owners — not marketers, not developers, not data nerds. It connects your WordPress site to Small Business Analytics (smallbusinessanalytics.io) and tells you who's visiting, where they're coming from, and what's actually working — all explained in plain English. No jargon, no complicated dashboards, no Google Analytics confusion. If you've ever opened Google Analytics, seen 47 menus, gotten overwhelmed, and closed the tab — this plugin is for you. This plugin connects your WordPress site to your SBA dashboard. Install it, paste in your tracking code, and you're done. No theme files to edit, no Google Tag Manager, no developer needed. Why use this instead of Google Analytics? Because Google Analytics was built for marketers at big companies. Most small business owners open GA4, see 47 menus, get confused, and close the tab. SBA tells you things like:

• "Your TikTok video on Tuesday brought in 23 new visitors"
• "Most of your visitors leave on the contact page — that's where you might be losing customers"
• "Your busiest hour is 2pm on weekdays — that's a good time to post on social"

The dashboard is in plain English. Numbers are explained in plain English. An AI assistant named Alfred can answer questions like "is my Instagram working?" — and actually answer them. What this plugin does It does exactly one thing: adds your SBA tracking code to every page of your site. That's it.

• Zero performance impact — the tracker is one tiny script that loads asynchronously (it doesn't block your site from rendering).
• No data stored on your site — the plugin doesn't create database tables, doesn't set cookies, doesn't write to your filesystem.
• No theme editing required — pop in your tracking code, save, done.
• Works with every WordPress theme — uses the standard wp_head hook.
• Your data is yours — we never sell, share, or use your visitor data for anything but showing it to you. Total privacy, always.

You'll need an SBA account This plugin connects your site to Small Business Analytics, which is a free 7-day trial, then a paid service (plans start at $9/month). No credit card is required to start — sign up at smallbusinessanalytics.io (about a minute) and you'll get your tracking code right away. Paste it into the plugin settings and you're tracking. After 7 days you add a card to keep going; if you don't, your trial simply ends and you're never charged automatically.
