Description
Anni is a marketing assistant for small businesses in Switzerland (anni-marketing.ch). This companion plugin lets Anni finish your Google setup automatically after you connect your WordPress site:
- Outputs the Google Analytics 4 tag (gtag.js) in your site’s head — only if you (or Anni, with your permission) configure a measurement ID.
- Outputs the Google Search Console site-verification meta tag — only if a verification token is configured.
- Provides a small authenticated REST endpoint (
anni/v1) so the Anni app can read plugin status and set the two values above. All endpoints require themanage_optionscapability (administrators). Requests are authenticated with WordPress Application Passwords.
The plugin itself does not track visitors, does not send data anywhere, and stores only two options (anni_ga4_id, anni_gsc_verification). The Google Analytics tag is only loaded if a measurement ID has been explicitly configured; in that case Google’s terms for Analytics apply.
External services
This plugin connects your site to the Anni marketing platform (https://anni-marketing.ch), operated by
digitale rakete GmbH (https://digitalerakete.ch), so that Anni can complete your Google setup for you.
What the plugin itself sends: nothing. The plugin does not initiate any outbound request. It only
receives authenticated REST requests from the Anni app and stores/prints two values on your site.
When your site is contacted: only after you connect your website inside your own Anni account and
create a WordPress Application Password for it. The Anni app then calls the endpoints below using
that password:
GET /wp-json/anni/v1/status— reads whether the plugin is active and which values are set
(requires themanage_optionscapability).POST /wp-json/anni/v1/ga4— stores your Google Analytics 4 measurement ID (requiresmanage_options).POST /wp-json/anni/v1/gsc— stores your Google Search Console verification token (requiresmanage_options).
Data involved: your GA4 measurement ID and your Search Console verification token. No visitor data,
no personal data and no site content is transmitted by this plugin.
Google Analytics: if — and only if — a measurement ID is configured, the plugin prints Google’s
standard gtag.js snippet, which loads https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js in visitors’ browsers.

Installation

- Alternatively, set the options manually via WP-CLI or the REST endpoint.
FAQ
-
Does this plugin track my visitors?
-
No. It only prints the Google Analytics tag if you configure a measurement ID. Without configuration it outputs nothing.
-
Who can change the settings?
-
Only authenticated WordPress administrators (
manage_options), typically via an Application Password issued by you. All three endpoints require this — including reading the plugin status. -
Does it work without an Anni account?
-
Yes — you can set the GA4 ID and the Search Console token yourself; the plugin is a minimal, dependency-free head-injector.
