Tracking Website Goals & Campaigns

Website goal and marketing campaign tracking is probably one of the best ways to gain insights and achieve your business objectives. The Marketing Dashboard provides you with the most important performance factors at a glance. Set-up website goals and campaigns to get the most out of  your data.

Tracking Website Goals

An integral part of Web Analytics is the analysis of website goals, including the calculation of customer journeys based on these. With the tracking data, you can determine which campaigns were directly involved in achieving the previously defined goal. You can currently track the following website goals:

E-mail Subscription

You can track e-mail subscription with the following data layer.

Example

window._ti['eMailSubscription'] = 'true'

App Download

App downloads can be measured with onclick event.

Example

onclick="wts.push(['send','click', {linkId:'app download', customEcommerceParameter:{2:'true'}}])"

The corresponding custom e-commerce parameter (2) must first be created by your Mapp Intelligence consultant.

Social Sharing

To track social sharing an onclick event is used.

Example

onclick="wts.push(['send','click', {linkId:'social sharing', customEcommerceParameter:{3:'true'}}])"

The corresponding custom e-commerce parameter (3) must first be created by your Mapp Intelligence consultant.

Tracking Campaigns

Campaign tracking is used to track your success in marketing activities online as well as offline. With the help of campaign tracking, website targets can be assigned to individual marketing activities. In this way, you can identify valid promotions, costs from campaigns, or the order in which campaigns are received, for example. Campaign clicks allow you to track visits to specific pages or defined references.

Campaign tracking is mainly based on specific parameters that are appended to the target URLs of the advertising media - so-called media codes. You can improve the recording of media codes by appropriate pixelation. Media codes can also be overwritten or supplemented with additional information about campaign parameters.

The following data sources can define campaigns:

• URL parameters (media codes)
• pages (specific landing pages)
• events (click internal link)
• referrers (for example SEO, social media referrers, other referrers)
• direct accesses

Since each campaign is individual, there is no basic configuration of Mapp Intelligence for it. This means that you need to contact your consultant to request an individual configuration for you.

If you have not used campaign tracking yet, you can create your campaign URLs using the following parameters for the campaigns:

wt_mc
wt_mc=all.medium.source.campaign.content.
