  6. Under "Exclude my visits" link, tap Copy and send it to your team. Each person opens it once on every phone and computer.

    Why: a colleague on mobile data looks like a real visitor until they do this.

✅ How do I know it worked?

  • Your visitor numbers drop a little, and the bar shows how many visits were hidden.
