How can we track where a user came from on our webpage even if they browse multiple pages before taking action?
To track where a user came from on your webpage, even if they browse multiple pages before taking action, you can use UTM parameters and a combination of tools like Google Analytics and Webflow's built-in tracking features. Here's how you can implement it:
Enable Google Analytics: If you haven't set up Google Analytics on your Webflow site, start by signing up for a Google Analytics account and getting your tracking code. In your Webflow project settings, go to the Custom Code tab, then paste the tracking code in the footer code section.
Create UTM Parameters: UTM parameters are tags you add to your URLs to track specific marketing campaigns. They allow you to add information to the URL that identifies the source, medium, and other important details about the user's visit.
Add UTM Parameters to URLs: Whenever you create a link that you want to track, add UTM parameters to the URL. For example, if you're running a Facebook ad campaign, you can add the parameter "utm_source=facebook" to the URL in your Facebook ad.
Track UTM Parameters in Google Analytics: In Google Analytics, you can view the data from these UTM parameters by navigating to Acquisition > Campaigns > All Campaigns. Here, you'll see the traffic from different sources and mediums specified in your UTM parameters.
Set Up Goals in Google Analytics: To track specific user actions, such as form submissions, purchases, or button clicks, you can set up goals in Google Analytics. Go to the Admin section in Google Analytics, select the desired View, and navigate to Goals. Here, you can set up specific goals and assign a value to each conversion.
Utilize Webflow's Conversion Tracking: Webflow also offers its own conversion tracking features that can be used in conjunction with Google Analytics. In your Webflow project settings, go to the Integrations tab, and you'll find options to add conversion tracking codes for platforms like Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and more.
By combining UTM parameters, Google Analytics, and Webflow's conversion tracking, you can easily track where a user came from on your webpage, even if they browse multiple pages before converting. This data will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns and help improve your website's performance.
