1) I have added UTM parameters to my landing page form, however leads come through with no tracking information displayed on the lead profile.

DenGro will be able to report on the tracking information that is being passed over to us when the form submits. If you aren't seeing any tracking information displayed this is usually due to your form not passing this data to us.

It's important to check that you have UTM parameters included in the URL structure of your landing page AND they are being passed over to DenGro via hidden fields in the code of your landing page.

How to ensure UTM's persist:

a) Install the Persist Campaign Data tag template in Google Tag Manager and configure it to capture the UTM parameters from the URL.


b)Create a cookie variable in Google Tag Manager to store the data in a cookie.

c) Add some custom code to your site to grab the data from the cookie and write it into hidden fields in your form.

These hidden fields need to be populated with the value of the URL parameters.

Check that your form is capturing these values via hidden fields in the settings of your form. If you haven't got them included, please add them and then retest your form to see if this attribution now shows.

An example of hidden fields and values that you may use are:
input type="hidden"
gclid=gclid789798980
utm_source=google

utm_campaign=invisalign-spring-sale
utm_content=spring-sale-video
utm_term=invisalign

utm_medium=ppc

gclid=gclid789798980
landing_url=https://practice.dengro.com
capture_url=https://practice.dengro.com/">

This would show you how it may look in the HTML of your site with the relevant values to be populated.

OR


2) I have UTM parameters and hidden fields in place. Why are my leads coming through with no or limited tracking information displayed?

If you have UTM parameters in place and these values are captured via a hidden field and you are seeing either no or limited tracking information you need to check these values are mapped correctly so DenGro understands how to attribute them.

If you are using a webhook to send in data (Zapier/ DenGro capture hook) you need to ensure the data you pass is mapped in to the relevant field.

Please review your Zap or Capture hook to check that the value ie Source is mapped to the correct field in DenGro.

If these are empty or only partially mapped, then update all the fields you have data for i.e. source should be mapped to the 'UTM source' field.

3) I have tracking data showing but the channel is being attributed incorrectly.

When attributing leads to a channel we are following the attribution logic as defined by Google Analytics.

Review how DenGro attributes here.

Firstly review your Zap or Capture hook to check that the value is mapped to the correct field and every field you have a value for is mapped.


For example if you haven't mapped in GCLID in your Zap or capture hook this could impact the channel not being attributed to 'Paid Search' and showing as 'Direct' instead.

Please ensure that you aren't using capitals on your UTM's as these are case sensitive.

4) How do I track where my leads are coming from if my site uses the DenGro Form Builder?

If you are using the DenGro form builder the snippet of code you generate and then embed on your page will include our data capture library which tracks where the lead came from.

As long as the page that the form is placed on includes UTM parameters which are set correctly, this library will extract them from the URL and pass them through to DenGro.
