Lead attribution links your patient leads to your marketing efforts. It tells you:

  • What attracted a lead

  • Which ad or campaign they clicked

  • What channel brought them in (e.g., Facebook, Google)

Understanding this helps you make smarter marketing decisions.


💡 Why Is This Important?

If you're running both Facebook and Google Ads, attribution shows you which is working better. You can invest more where it works — and cut what doesn't.

DenGro’s Lead Attribution makes this process clear and actionable.


🔍 What Attribution Data Does DenGro Capture?

DenGro accepts standard UTM parameters used in Google Analytics. These are the key data fields:

Parameter

Purpose

Example

utm_source

Refers to where traffic comes from

utm_medium

utm_campaign

Name of the campaign

januarysale, invisalignpromo

utm_term

(Paid ads) Keywords used

“teeth whitening”, “implant dentist”

utm_content

lifestylevideo, productvideo

utm_id

utm_source_platform

utm_marketing_tactic

🔗 How UTM Parameters Work

Each UTM parameter needs a value. Together, they describe where a lead came from.

Example – January Email Campaign:

iniCopyEditutm_source = existing-patient-list utm_medium = email utm_campaign = january-sale

✍️ Manually Added Leads

When you add a lead using the ‘Add New Lead’ button, DenGro asks:

  • How did the lead get in touch? (Facebook, Phone, Visit, etc.)

  • How did they hear about you? (Free text)

This is known as Capture Data, and it’s still valuable for attribution, especially for offline channels.
