Globe Visitors Counter

Globe Visitors Counter (Lite) adds a beautiful, fast, iframe-isolated 3D visitor globe to any WordPress site.\ It instantly shows your audience geography — fully locally, privately, and without any third-party tracking. This Lite version is designed for clarity, speed, and instant visual feedback — especially on landing pages and campaign pages. Use Case: Instant Visual Feedback for Advertising Campaigns The situation You have a product or a service.\ You launch an advertising campaign: - Google Ads - Facebook / Instagram - TikTok - banner ads - email campaigns - any other traffic source All traffic is sent to one landing page. Usually what comes next is boring:\ tables, charts, numbers, dashboards, “we’ll analyze it later”. The solution You place Globe Visitors Counter Lite directly on the landing page. No server setup.\ No external analytics.\ No configuration. And you start seeing your traffic with your own eyes. How it works (very simple)

1. You launch the ads
2. Visitors arrive at the page
3. Each real visitor appears as a dot on the globe — in real time, from their actual location

The globe comes alive and instantly shows:

• whether people are coming at all
• which countries and regions react
• whether the campaign works or misses completely No dots — ads don’t work.\ Dots appear — ads are alive.
