To do this, add the Countdown block to the location where you want to show the fake counter and follow the steps –
1. Select Fake No from the Countdown Setup section.
2. In the Initial Number field, you have to set the initial counter number from where the counter will start.
3. Then in the Final Number field, you have to set the final number where the counter will end.
4. After that, enable the Enable Loop toggle, this will make the counter loop forever.
5. In the Number Range field, you have to set a number, based on this number the counter will reduce randomly between the range of 1 and the set number.
For instance, if you set the number to 5 then it will reduce the counter by any number between 1 to 5 randomly making the counter look more realistic.
6. You can set an interval to the counter from the Change Interval (In Seconds) field.
7. Then, in the Fake Message field, you can write a custom text to show it along with the counter. Make sure to use {visible_counter} tag for displaying the counter number.
8. Then go to the Extra Option tab and select the Yes(Local Storage Based) option from the Track User Data section.
This will save the counter cookie in the user’s browser, making the counter specific to the user. If the user revisits the page the countdown will not reset, instead it will continue to complete the range.
Now visitors will see a counter at your specified location.
