Use Ghost Code Injection
In Ghost you can inject code across your entire site or on an individual post or page. Since Hotjar needs to track user behaviour across your entire site, we’ll use the global code injection feature which can be found in the Ghost Admin settings menu.
Hotjar requires the tracking code to be in the <head> of each page on your site, so paste it into the Site Header section and hit save.
Your site is now fully integrated with Hotjar – you can use the verify installation button to check everything is working as expected. From here, you might want to check out the Hotjar resources to find out how to make the most of the tool.
