When attributing leads to channels, DenGro follows Google Analytics’ attribution rules. To ensure accurate tracking, use lowercase UTM parameters β€” they are case sensitive! πŸ”

    ​OR

  • Referral domain is a search engine AND utm_medium is one of:
    ​cpc, ppc, paidsearch, paid-search

Search engines include: Google, Bing, Yahoo, AOL, DuckDuckGo, Sogou, Baidu, Ecosia.


πŸ“± Paid Social

  • If facebook_ad_id is set

πŸ”„ Referred By Another Practice

  • Also used if DenGro can’t determine how the lead was captured


❓ Unavailable

  • If none of the above criteria are met

  • Or if utm_medium is set but no other rule matches


πŸ“ˆ Other Channels

  • If utm_medium is defined, DenGro maps it according to Google Analytics’ categories


πŸ€” Missing UTM Parameters?
