● The attribution AddThis & ShareThis took away in 2023

See which content actually brings readers back.

Grow by word of mouth, not ads. One line of HTML adds share buttons to your site, then shows you which posts travel and which channels return real readers — including the private “dark social” shares Google Analytics can't see.

How it works

From paste to insight in three steps.

1

Paste one line of HTML.

Drop a single async script tag before </body>. No build step, no plugin, no tag manager. The widget renders your chosen channels and starts tracking immediately.

<!-- paste before </body> -->
<script src="https://cdn.sprigshare.com/share.js?key=YOUR_API_KEY" async></script>
Works on Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow, Ghost & custom sites.
2

Visitors share — we tag every link.

Each share carries an invisible identifier. When someone clicks through and lands back on your site, Sprig connects the return to the exact channel it came from — even iMessage and WhatsApp, the “direct” traffic GA4 can't explain.

See what actually brings people back.

Your dashboard ranks channels by return visits, not raw clicks. Spot the platforms that travel, catch a post going viral early, and report a real viral coefficient — the metric most tools never give you.

Email returns 3× more visitors than Facebook — invisible to GA4.

What you get

Reader-driven growth, not just buttons.

Know which content brings readers back

See which platforms actually return visitors — not just which buttons got clicked. This is return-visit attribution.

Count the traffic Google can't see

iMessage, WhatsApp, email — the private "dark social" shares Google Analytics labels "direct" and can't attribute.

Catch a post going viral early

Track return visits per share — your viral coefficient — so you spot what's taking off while it still matters.

Live in one line of HTML

Paste one script tag. Works on any CMS — Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, custom.
