Add the Amabrik snippet to a GoDaddy site step by step. Honest method for Website Builder (Airo) plus the standard head method for WordPress or cPanel hosting.

Amabrik runs on your site from a single line of code. You paste it once, and every widget you turn on in the Amabrik dashboard shows up on your live site. You don’t edit pages one by one.

How you add that line depends on which kind of GoDaddy site you have, and this matters a lot:

GoDaddy Website Builder (also called Websites + Marketing, or Airo): the easy drag-and-drop editor. It does not give you a true site-wide <head> for your own scripts. Read the Website Builder section below carefully, because there’s a real limit and a supported way around it.
GoDaddy WordPress or cPanel hosting: a normal website where you control the HTML. You add the snippet to the <head> the standard way, and it works site-wide with no catch.

Not sure which one you have? If you build your site by dragging sections in a GoDaddy editor, it’s Website Builder. If you log into a WordPress admin (/wp-admin) or a cPanel dashboard, it’s hosting.

1. Get your snippet

Sign in to your Amabrik dashboard.
Open the Install page.
Copy the snippet. It looks like this, with your own site ID in place of YOUR_SITE_ID:

<script async src="https://cdn.amabrik.com/v1/loader.js" data-site="YOUR_SITE_ID"></script>

Copy the exact line from the dashboard. Your data-site value is unique to your account, so don’t type it by hand.

2. Add it to a GoDaddy Website Builder site (Websites + Marketing / Airo)

Here’s the honest part first, so you know what to expect.

GoDaddy Website Builder does not offer a custom site-wide header where you can paste your own scripts. In Settings, GoDaddy lets you add a fixed list of trackers (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Facebook Meta Tag, Pinterest Meta Tag, Google AdSense). The Amabrik loader is not on that list, so you can’t add it there.

What Website Builder does give you is a custom code section you place on a page. GoDaddy renders that section inside an iframe (a small embedded frame), which keeps your code from running across the whole site. That works for some widgets but not all, so here’s the realistic picture before you start.

To add the section:

Sign in to your GoDaddy account and open My Products.
Find Websites + Marketing and click Manage next to your site.
Click Edit Website (or Edit Site) to open the editor.
Go to the page where you want the widget to appear.
Click the spot between sections where you want it, then choose Add Section.
In the section list, find HTML (the custom-code section) and click Add.
In the Custom Code field, paste your Amabrik snippet.
Click Done, then Publish (top right).

Now the honest limits, so you’re not surprised:

The section lives on one page. To cover more pages, you repeat steps 4 to 8 on each page. There’s no single place that applies to the whole site.
The code runs inside an iframe. Widgets that need to sit on top of your real page (a full-width banner pinned to the top, a popup that covers the screen, a floating button in the corner) may be trapped inside that frame and won’t display the way they should. A widget whose content is meant to live inside a normal block of the page (like an inline form or an embedded review block) is the kind that fits this section best.

If you need a banner, popup, cookie consent bar, or floating widget to behave correctly across the whole site, GoDaddy Website Builder can’t host that the way Amabrik needs. That’s a limit of the builder, not of Amabrik. Your options are:

Move the site to GoDaddy WordPress or cPanel hosting, where the snippet goes in the real <head> and every widget works site-wide. See the next section.
Or use a different host that lets you add a site-wide head script.

We’d rather tell you this up front than have you paste a snippet that quietly doesn’t work.

3. Add it to GoDaddy WordPress or cPanel hosting (the standard head method)

If your GoDaddy site is WordPress or a normal cPanel-hosted site, you have full control of the HTML, and the install is simple and site-wide.

WordPress

The cleanest way is a small free header-script plugin, so you never edit theme files (and you don’t lose the snippet when the theme updates):

In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New.
Search for a header and footer scripts plugin (for example WPCode or Insert Headers and Footers), then install and activate it.
Open the plugin’s settings (usually under Settings or Code Snippets).
Paste your Amabrik snippet into the Header box (the one that injects into <head>).
Save.

Prefer to edit the theme directly? You can add the snippet just before the closing </head> tag in your theme’s header.php. Use a child theme so a theme update doesn’t wipe it out. The plugin route is safer for most people.

cPanel (static or hand-coded site)

If you edit your site’s HTML files directly:

Log into your GoDaddy hosting and open cPanel, then File Manager (or connect over FTP).
Open your site’s main HTML file (often index.html), or the shared header file your pages include.
Paste the Amabrik snippet just before the closing </head> tag.
Save. Repeat in any other page or shared header file that makes up your site.

4. Publish

Website Builder: click Publish in the editor. The custom-code section goes live only after you publish.
WordPress: changes are live as soon as you save the plugin setting or update the file.
cPanel: changes are live as soon as you save the file.

Every time you change the snippet itself, save and publish again so the live site picks it up. You won’t need to do this for normal widget changes, those happen in the Amabrik dashboard.

5. Check that it’s live

Open your live site in a new browser tab (not the GoDaddy editor preview).
Right-click the page and choose View Page Source, then search for amabrik. You should see the loader script.
Or open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, reload the page, and filter for loader.js. You should see a request to cdn.amabrik.com.

On a WordPress or cPanel site, the script appears in the page <head>. On a Website Builder page, it appears inside the iframe of the custom-code section, which is the limit described above.

6. Turn on widgets in the dashboard

The snippet is the connection. What appears on your site is controlled entirely from Amabrik.

Go back to your Amabrik dashboard.
Create or enable a widget (banner, cookie consent, popup, form, and so on).
Save and publish the widget in the dashboard.

On a WordPress or cPanel site, your live site updates within a minute, and you never touch GoDaddy again to add, change, or remove a widget. On a Website Builder page, you control the widget from Amabrik too, within the limits of the iframe section.

Troubleshooting

I can’t find a place for a site-wide head script in Website Builder. There isn’t one. Website Builder’s Settings only support GoDaddy’s fixed tracker list (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and a few others), not your own scripts. Your own code goes in a per-page HTML section, which runs in an iframe. For a true site-wide install, use GoDaddy WordPress or cPanel hosting.

I added the HTML section but my banner or popup doesn’t show, or looks boxed in. That’s the iframe limit. Banners, popups, cookie bars, and floating widgets need to sit on top of the whole page, which a Website Builder HTML section can’t do. Use WordPress or cPanel hosting for those widgets.

I added the snippet on WordPress but nothing shows up. Check three things, in order. First, is the snippet in the Header box (the <head> one), not the Footer or Body box? Second, did you save? Third, have you enabled a widget in the Amabrik dashboard? The snippet alone shows nothing until a widget is turned on.

It works on one Website Builder page but not the others. A Website Builder HTML section only covers the page it’s on. Add the section to each page you want it on, then publish.

I made a change in Amabrik but the site still shows the old version. This is usually browser caching. Do a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows, Cmd+Shift+R on Mac), or open the site in a private window. Changes normally appear within a minute.

FAQ

Can I add Amabrik to GoDaddy Website Builder?

Partly. You can add the snippet through a per-page HTML section, but it runs inside an iframe, so widgets that need to overlay the whole site (banners, popups, cookie bars, floating buttons) won’t work right. There’s no site-wide head option in Website Builder. For full support, use GoDaddy WordPress or cPanel hosting.

Why does the head method work on hosting but not on Website Builder?

On WordPress or cPanel hosting you control the real HTML, so the snippet sits in the page <head> and runs across the whole site. Website Builder is a closed editor that boxes your custom code into an iframe and reserves its Settings panel for a fixed list of GoDaddy trackers.

Do I have to add the code to every page?

On WordPress or cPanel, no. One snippet in the <head> (via the plugin or your shared header) covers the whole site. On Website Builder, yes, each page needs its own HTML section, and even then the iframe limit applies.

Will this slow down my site?

No. The Amabrik snippet uses async, so it loads without blocking your page. Your content renders first, and the widget loads in the background.

Can I remove Amabrik later?

Yes. On WordPress, clear the snippet from the header plugin and save. On cPanel, delete the line from your files. On Website Builder, delete the HTML section and publish. The widgets stop showing right away.
