Analyses 3 – Campaign Analyses
This training chapter explains how to analyze your campaigns with Mapp Intelligence.
You can also find a course on campaigns at Mapp Academy. Log in and search for "Mapp Intelligence - Campaign Analyses".
Preface
In this document, many examples for meaningful campaigns are shown.
The following default setup is used: 4 or 5 hierarchical campaign categories with the following labels
In the examples individually set up metrics are used, too, which have to be created in the formula editor. These are marked with a star ("*").
1 Basics of the Configuration
In order to analyze campaigns in a meaningful way, an understanding of the basic configuration and operation is necessary.
1.1 Attribution
Usually, a specific website goal has to be reached via campaigns (e.g. order, account registration, newsletter registration).
- Which campaign is responsible for the reach of the website goal?
Different models – so called "attributions" – are supported. - Which attribution model is to be used by default?
Mapp Q3 > Configuration > Marketing Configuration > General Settings > Default Attribution
Example for 2 different attributions:
a) The first campaign (SEA) is responsible for the reach of the website goal (Newsletter registration).
b) The last campaign (Direct) is responsible for the reach of the website goal (Newsletter registration).
| Detailed information about attribution models can be found in the training chapter Campaign Configuration. |
|---|
Mapp uses the default attribution when dimensions and metrics from the sections E-Commerce and Campaigns are combined or filtered.
| Reading Example | |
|---|---|
| Qty Orders | With the 2,807 orders, the channel "SEO" won because of the defined default attribution. |
In case you set up several website goals, you need to filter by the required website goal or use separate metrics per goal (e.g. number of orders, number of newsletter registrations).
1.2 API to Newsletter Tools
Data coming from newsletter tools can be imported into Mapp Intelligence via campaign categories. This can be relevant for the evaluation of newsletter campaigns.
For example, the following metrics can be imported automatically:
- Delivery Rate
- Opening Rate
- Costs
1.3 API to Google AdWords
Mapp Intelligence provides an API for automatic measurement and data import from Google Ads.
Mapp Q3 > Configuration > Interfaces > Google AdWords
The campaign categories in Mapp are matched with the respective layers of the Google Ads campaign via the interface configuration. We recommend setting up a campaign tree consisting of at least 5 levels in order to fully match the Ads layers.
For all ad types, ads and keywords the following metrics can be imported automatically:
- Clicks
- Impressions
- Costs
- Average Position
- CTR
- Campaign Cost Sales Relation
| Extended information about the configuration of the API to Google Ads can be found in the training chapter Setting Up Google Ads API. |

2.3 Campaign Type
Every page, that is accessed after a campaign, is matched with the respective campaign.
By using the campaign type it is possible to differentiate between:
- Clicks: When the data source of the campaign (e.g. media code) is tracked.
- Engagement: All page accesses between campaign click and conversion.
- Conversion: A website goal is reached and the campaign complies with the default attribution.
Optional:
- Viewed: Only available, when campaign views are imported.
- Offline: Only available, when offline orders are tracked via a separate offline pixel.
| The campaign type is only available for campaigns, that are acknowledged in an attribution model. The chosen default attribution solely affects the campaign, which is matched with the campaign type "Conversion". |

3 Customer Journey
All campaigns until the reach of a website goal are saved in a Customer Journey.
- Only campaigns, that helped to reach a website goal, are analyzed.
- Customer Journeys work independently from attribution models.
This means, that all campaign contacts are analyzed, which were used by a visitor within 30 days prior to the reach of a website goal. - A maximum amount of 15 campaign contacts are measured.
If there are more contacts, the first one and the last 14 are saved.
If you have set up several website goals, you need to filter the Customer Journey analyses by the respective goal or use separate metrics per goal (e.g. number of orders, number of newsletter registrations).
Example of Customer Journeys with several website goals
Customer Journeys are saved at the reach of a website goal. Therefore, they can‘t be filtered or matched with other dimensions or metrics freely.
A combination of the following dimensions is supported:
- Website Goal
- Order ID
- [Campaign Category | Source | Campaign Parameter | Ad Media] in the Customer Journey
- Internal/External Campaign in the Customer Journey
- Search Phrases (Campaigns)
- Device Class in the Customer Journey
- SEA keywords in Customer Journey
- Position in Campaign Lifecycle, Position prior to Conversion
- Time in Campaign Lifecycle (Days)
- Campaign Lifecycle Contacts
- The number of contacts in the Customer Journey. E.g. "0, 1,…"
- Time in Campaign Lifecycle
- Shows the contact point in the Customer Journey. E.g. "2016-07-01 16:04:39"
