          I'm using Google Analytics on www.nhfinehomes.com and would like to track the source of leads submitted via form submissions. Ideally, I could track if the lead originated from organic search (and what keyword phrase), PPC, referral links, etc. Is this possible with Google Analytics and if so, can anyone point to some documentation on how to do this or better yet someone who can help me set this up? This site is running ASP.NET and uses JQuery so there is not a 'traditional' thank you page that I can reference. I'm not a programmer and do not pretend to be one!

          Thanks in advance.

            Hi Link,

            You can try www.myconversionbrain.com It does exactly that so that you can know which leads came from which keyword, adgroup, campaign. It also tracks which display partner or remarketing site generated the lead. Basically it tracks down all the source traffic (Google organic, Bing, Yahoo, Facebook, referring links etc) for all the leads that you get automatically.

            Plus it helps managing your leads so you can see which keyword delivered the best ROI and which ones waste your money. So you can see the status of the lead from the initial stage of the closing. It also does other cool things like notifying you immediately once your leads come back to your website again and you will see which page the lead inquired on as well as which pages he has been to (before and after inquiry).

            If you want a free free demo (10-15 min) let me know and I would be happy to show you using screenshare.

            Cheers

            Johan Hedin

              Google Analytics does offer conversion tracking for all sources of traffic. You can set up Goals in GA and use a virtual pageview to load anytime the "Success" message is displayed to the user via AJAX. This might help - http://support.google.com/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1032720

              As for using Convertable on your site, it should work on http://www.nhfinehomes.com/Real_Estate/Canterbury/residential/4166838. Convertable actually uses AJAX/JQuery to display the success message so there is no traditional Thank You page either. If you have any other questions or need help signing up, feel free to email me at [email protected].

                Looks like Conversation tracking only works for AdWords traffic. I want to to track lead sources for all forms of traffic. Your tool looks rock star. Most of my leads come from the Ask a Question form on the right side of my listing details pages like http://www.nhfinehomes.com/Real_Estate/Canterbury/residential/4166838 However, this form uses jQuery instead of traditional forms that take the user to a success page. Would your tool still work with my technology set up?

                  You can use Google Analytics conversion tracking if you haven't set it up already - http://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2375435/?hl=en

                  Also, if you would like to look up the source of any individual lead and see the source of the lead included with the lead emails, I would suggest checking out http://convertable.com which is a free tool that does exactly this (full disclosure - Convertable is my project!)

                    Redirect Management on Headless Wordpress w/ React Front End

                    Hello everyone, As Headless Wordpress becomes more and more popular, it becomes more complicated to manage and track 301 redirects. I'm reaching out for advice on this. Our main issue right now, is that after migrating from Drupal to a Headless Wordpress/React platform we lost the ability to track, manage, and view traffic analytics for users hitting those redirects. This was something we were able to do in Drupal. Example: If we have a redirect in place we could see how many times in the past x number of days that redirect was hit by users attempting to access the old URL. Unfortunately, Yoast Premium, has been helpful with other SEO needs, but this is one that it is not able to manage. Anyone have any ideas, experience, or thoughts on this issue? Thanks for your time

                    Can Very High Impressions and 0% Organic CTR Impact our SEO Rankings?

                    I have a very strange feeling that someone bad is trying to hurt our company, but maybe I am wrong. Let me explain. In the last two month, we have seen a very significant drop in sales on our website, but we couldn't figure out why. We have looked at different metrics (Google Search Console, Moz, Google Analytics), but everything looked alright. We had 10% loss in traffic, but we didnt believe at the time that it could be the main issue. Just yesterday we've discovered the following (please see attached screenshot😞 On August 18, 2018 Google launched Search Update On the same date, we had a jump in Organic Search Impressions for one particular keyword, which we never tracked before: "free facebook login". Majority of all impressions (233,000 out of 258,000) were from Philippines. Very low total number of clicks (50 clicks) led to 0% Average CTR for this keyword. Which in return, also lowered our global CTR by 1%. One month later we had 1000's of spam emails sent to our Helpdesk from two IP addresses, also from Philippines. We blocked them of course. It could be all coincidence. I dont know. But do you think that someone can use this fraudulent tactic to lower our CTR and drop our ranking and traffic? Can this influence our SEO in any way? It's also possible that someone is attacking Facebook and we just happen to be there, on the first page, for the same keyword. Should we try to eliminate our page for this keyword and see what happens? I've checked this article from Rand Fishkin - https://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/blog/impact-of-queries-and-clicks-on-googles-rankings-whiteboard-friday and it seems that CTR is an important factor. However the article is from 2015 and maybe it's no longer relevant. What should we do? Thanks! G86Nge4

                    Multi Step Form or Standard Form for Data Capture

                    We are redesigning our web site real estate (www.nyc-officespace-leader.com). A key component of the site is the property search form. Currently visitors completes 5 fields and properties that meet the criteria are displayed to the visitor. I have noticed that my leading competitors (www.42floors.com, www.squarefoot.com) use multi step forms that ask single questions of the visitors. In effect they are reducing complexity by asking a single question per form. However the visitor must complete additional forms. Before results are served, both competing sites require the visitor to release contact info. 42floors has a clever inducement for the visitor to release their info: "Their are 127 listings that haven't been posted yet, but are visible to members." Once the visitor releases info they get to view the listings. While this is somewhat coercive, I suspect it is effective in obtaining customer date. While I understand it may result in some visitors bouncing off the site, the form completions are extremely valuable. Currently we provide listings without requiring registration but obtain very little data about visitors. In New York City, there are so many commercial real estate sites that visitors have a tendency to bounce from one to another without leaving info or calling. Multi step forms would allow me to add questions that are highly pertinent. Like when do they need possession, how long a lease term. By being asked very specific, relevant questions I wonder if that would not in fact increase the likely hood of the visitor to release info Any advice?? I am attaching several of the forms in question. In the event that we proceed with a multi part form, their are certain services like Leadformly that integrate with Wordpress. I see the eliminate the need for a Capcha and have other advantages. Is it beneficial to use such a package? iQUNh 19ugT he23uak

                    Has anyone ever used Adwords' Forwarding Numbers as a Call Tracking Service?

                    Hi, I was taking over a client's Adwords account from a previous agency. It appears the former agency added the Google Forwarding Number (for call tracking on call extensions) and added it to the client's website. Therefore, if anyone calls that number from the website, it would register within Adwords (just not as a conversion but as a click under "call extensions") The problem: you can't filter by phone number (the same number calling +1 would indicate spam) you can filter by device (so tablet / computer) can be considered spam generally. Questions: Anyone ever used this before? Your thoughts? Does anyone know if there is spam coming from mobile devices now-a-days? Please tell me what I'm missing. Any advice / anyone else seen this / done this? Thanks Moz Community, Cole

                    How ppc affects organic and direct convesions and traffic.

                    Hi, I was wondering what percentage of organic conversions is related to ppc previous traffic. I mean, when we evaluate the results of a campaign, we take a look at the cost per conversion in analytics for one specific word. Lets say that we know that for PPC campaigns we have the following data Adwords / PPC Visits: 4500 %conversions rate = 1,15% Cost per conversion = $10 ORGANIC Visits: 1300 % conversions rate = 2,10% DIRECT Visitis: 1000 %conversions rate= 2,54% It is obvious that if I cancel the adwords campaign part of the organic and direct traffic will drop too. So, I was wondering if have you ever done this calculation and if you know what percentage of the organic a direct traffic is related with de ppc campaigns. I mean... Let's say... "20% of the ppc traffic will come back to the website as organic traffic or direct traffic", or something like that... Anyone??? Thanks 😄

                    How can I find the redirect that removes special parameter from Adwords?

                    My main problem is Google Analytics doesn't show data from Google Adwords because a redirect in my site removes the special parameter(gclid) supplied by Adwords. Here's an email from one of Google Adwords representative: "When I reviewed your website, I found that a redirect set up on your site is removing auto-tagging information from your URLs. Auto-tagging automatically adds a parameter to the end of each of your AdWords destination URLs in order to identify visitors as AdWords referrals. The tag captures keyword, campaign, ad content information, and your ad's position when a user clicked it. The parameter used in auto-tagging is called "gclid." However, due to your website's redirect, the "gclid" parameter is being removed from the URL. As a result, Google Analytics is unable to properly track visitors reaching your site through AdWords. We suggest contacting your webmaster to append the "gclid" parameter to the redirected URL. If this isn't possible, you may want to consider removing the use of the redirect." Thanks in advance!

                    How to find average organic traffic growth rate for ecommerce startup?

                    Happy Friday Everyone, I have a quick question: I am in the process of crunching some numbers to try and figure out an organic traffic forecast for a client. One of the crucial metrics I can't seem to figure out is traffic rate of growth over the next year or so. The reason this is complicated for me is that I have only ever done this sort of thing for an established business before, and had plenty of past organic traffic data to work with. What I am looking for is a source that could give me a reasonable idea of what kind of growth rates I might expect for a startup with practically no data; I would be perfectly happy with a national average for online retail startups. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

                    How accurate is the Geo-Targeting of Google and Bing/Yahoo PPC ads?

                    I have a client who serves a local market and who has had trouble in the past with people out of her service area clicking on ads. She asked how accurate the geo-targeting option is.  I know it's not possible to be completely accurate resolving the location of IP addresses, but was wondering if there are any recent statistics out there regarding how accurate or inaccurate geo-targeting is.  I did some quick searches but did not see any current numbers. Many Thanks!
