In trckable a custom event is a goal: a named thing that happened, such as signup or newsletter. There are four ways to count one, and the quickest needs nothing on your site.

Open Track a goal

On Data, find the What they did card, open its Goals tab and click + Track a goal. The dialog offers four ways to count: Page visit, Button or link, Your code and Your server.

The Track a goal dialog on Page visit, with a goal name and a page.
Page visit needs no code: name the goal and give it a page.

Count a page visit, with no code

Choose Page visit, give the goal a name such as Saw pricing and a page such as /pricing, then Add goal. A path ending in * covers everything under it, like /blog/*. The goal is counted from the pageviews trckable already has, so it shows the past too.

See the conversions

Each goal in the Goals tab shows how many visitors reached it and the share of all visitors, and From visit to goal underneath compares all visitors, the visitors who engaged and those who reached the goal.

The Goals tab listing signup, checkout_started, trial_started, newsletter and File download.
Visitors who reached each goal, and what share of all visitors that is.

Click a goal and the whole dashboard narrows to the visitors who reached it: look at Sources, Pages or Locations to see where those people came from. Filter → Goal does the same from the toolbar. With payments connected, the next tab, Sources that pay, shows which sources earn the money (see track revenue).
