Not everybody will know what an "Optimizely snippet" is. Also, please 
provide the actual code you added to the TypoScript Setup field.

If it's some JavaScript you need to add to the header of each page this 
could be done with:

page.jsInline {
   10 = TEXT
   10.value (
// Insert JavaScript here without
// the surrounding <script> tags!
)
}

This assumes a few things:
- "page" is the name of the PAGE object
- there is no element "10" yet in page.jsInline

You can check this in the Template module by selecting in the top bar 
selectbox "TypoScript Object Browser" and below that after "Browse:" 
select "Setup".

More information for ways to include JS/CSS in a page see [1]. On that 
page you'll also find methods to include JavaScript/CSS snippets and 
files in the header or footer of the page.
Depending on other settings it could be that inline JS is moved to a 
file which is included in the head / footer.
