Although Alexa retired its Claim Your Site feature, you can still avail of its Certified Site Metric feature.
You will be provided with traffic metrics, uptime metrics, social metrics, engagement metrics, mobile metrics, location metrics, and top content metrics.
You can view this information on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis to see how your site performs over time.
So, why should you avail of this paid service?
Why You Should Get Alexa Certified Metrics:
Contents In Page
1. A Complete Measurement and Report of Your Website’s Traffic
Having Alexa Certified Metrics directly measures your site’s traffic. Without it, Alexa only gives an estimate on your website’s traffic.
3. A Comprehensive Report on Your Website’s Analytics
Alexa breaks down the different sources of traffic into your site. You can determine the contribution search, social, link, and direct source to your total traffic.
4. Easy Monitoring of Website Performance
You can monitor your website’s uptime and isolate the possible causes for downtrends in your traffic.
5. Third-Party Proof of Your Site’s Metrics
You can publish your website’s Alexa-certified traffic statistics on the site overview page. This is helpful since potential advertisers, investors, and partners can determine if your website is a good choice for their investment.
To get your metrics certified, you would need to install your unique Alexa Certify Code. This code would enable Alexa to directly analyze and measure the traffic on your website. You can choose to display these metrics on your site.
Once you have determined your average monthly page views, you have to choose which Alexa Certified plan level best suits your website.

You can get your code by going to the “Project Hub.” Click the Dashboard button found on a project’s lower-right hand corner. This would show the “Metrics for Your Site” card. Click the dropdown item “Manage” and then click “Get Certified.”
You can now add the certified code to your site. The code can be added in any hosted site that allows JavaScript to be added.
For WordPress Users:
The Certify Code can be added by installing the Alexa Plugin on your site. Once you have done this, you can enter your Certify Code in the plugin. Note that the code can only be added to self-hosted WordPress websites.
For Joomla Users:
You would have to enter the Alexa Certify code right above the closing tag in your site’s “index.php” file. Then, you would have to edit the “component.php” found in your site’s templates root folder and insert the the Certify Code in the print view and mailto pages.
For Wix Users:
Go to your site’s settings. Under Advanced Settings, Click on “Tracking & Analytics.” Click on “+New Tool” and choose “Custom” from the choices. Enter your code for the applicable domain then add the code to “All Pages” with the default option. Once you have done this, contact Alexa for assistance on running your site’s first Certification scan.
Check the installation of your code by clicking the “Scan My Site” button in your Alexa profile.
Wait for at least three hours for the result. Data would start coming in if you have installed the code correctly.
If there are any errors or issues, contact Alexa for support.
If you are looking to monetize your blog, the certified metrics would prove your website’s viability as an investment for investors, advertisers, or partners.
