Tracking Adwords users who sumbit a contact form after clicking through my Landing page.
-
I have a user, Jane, who comes to my landing page through an AdWords campaign. She click off my landing page, browses the website, then submits a contact form on one of the other pages on the site.
My problem is when I receive the email from the contact form, there is no identification that this user came through adwords. If she had submitted the contact form on my landing page this wouldn't be a problem, but she submitted the form from elsewhere on the site.
I know that I can see a NUMBER of how many goal conversions were achieved this way in Analytics. This is not what I want. I need something to identify it on the CONTACT FORM so that the intake staff in my office can credit that lead to the correct campaign.
Any idea on how to achieve this. Technically, I am using the latest version of Wordpress and the Contact Form 7 plug-in. I can change plug-ins if needed.

Hi McShane,
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. It tracks which page the user submitted the inquiry and also the pages that he browsed before and after inquiry...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. You can also keep track of all your leads quicker and easier than email programs so that your leads are properly cared for and not being wasted. You can add sales people and much more...It also does other cool things like notifying you immediately once your leads come back to your website again or specific and important pages on your site (your choice).
If you want a free free demo (10-15 min) let me know and I would be happy to show you using
screenshare.Cheers

Hi! what about using cookies?
I mean, when an user reaches your site have a get php rule that appends a cookie to the user if their medium referral is cpc.
In your form you can add an hidden value which is cpc= 1 or 0. When the user send the form you can look for that cookie, if it exists set the cpc value to 1 if not 0. So you'll ahve a db stored information about if that user came or not via cpc.

This is a bit trickier working with Wordpress and a plugin.
If you have your Analytics linked, then Google will add ?gclid=XXXXXXXXX to your URL when someone clicks through. As a result, you can flag that session as an Adwords session. Normally I would add a session flag but Wordpress doesn't run sessions by default. You will have to add some PHP programming to make that work and that's outside the scope of this forum.

Google-powered search bar suddenly returning totally different results than usual - User Intent?
Our website has a Google powered search bar and for some popular keywords it has always returned the same results but for the past week it has been returning totally different and nonsensical results with the previous top 2 entries now on the 2nd and 4th pages of the results. It seems to be mixing up two separate keywords which the same user may search for but which both mean two very different things. Is this a User Intent issue do you think? Anyone know if there's anything we can do to stop it? I'm guessing not...

Then I go home from work, open my laptopn and go on XXX website and send an email enquiry form in. Is this possible to track? Thanks

Tracking homepage visits
Hi Mozzers, I run a website that has some buttons on the homepage. These URL's are not unique as they are accessible from the nav bar at the top of the page. I want to see the conversion rate of the homepage buttons. Is this possible? I currently use Crazy Egg to see how many people are clicking on the buttons but I want more information as I'm sure whether they are converting. Thanks, Karl

No form on PPC landing page
My client has explained to me that they want to drive sales CALLS instead of form submissions because they feel they have a better chance of "closing the deal" on the phone. So my company is working to design a PPC landing page that focuses on the phone number. But the question is, do you still think we should include a simple form on the landing page? There are two competing trains of thought in my office. One is concerned that if we offer a form, people won't call. The other is that if we DON'T offer a form, we will lose out on possibly good customers. In addition to the form, no form question is the question of providing additional links to other parts of the website. One person I work with is concerned visitors will leak away and not pick up the phone. My concern is that if we do not offer a way to "learn more" the visitor will become agitated and not call at all. This is specifically for a focused PPC effort. To recap:

How to track full path of website visitors until conversion, not just landing page?
hi, This is my first question in the forums and I'm looking forward to be part of a great SEO community. I was wondering ow to track full path of website visitors until conversion, not just landing page? I've been using Wordpress jetpack site stats for while, which shows great data like keywords used in google, landing page etc. But I would like to have access to the full path for each separate visitors (including their IP address and country is possible) to improve my website and conversions. Example: step 1: Visitor X types "seo" on Google step 2: visitor lands on my homepage step 3: visitor visits to order page and buys Is there such tool available as a Wordpress plugin? Or do I have to use Google analytics for this? thank you for your help, Marc

Page Title Tags - SEO vs CRO ?
Hi everyone, Thanks to what seems to be a recent(ish) algo change in Google, some of our more targeted deeper pages are ranking for search terms where before only our homepage would rank. This is of course great however I am a little worried that some of the page titles of our internal pages are a little short, for example our main departments (we are an ecommerce store) are titles 'Department Name | Liberty Games' so for example 'Pool Tables | Liberty Games'. I have heard varying reports on what to do with the title tag, I have heard to keep the most relevant keywords to the left of the tag, which we have done, I have also heard that shorter is better. I am just a bit concerned that our tags are looking a little stumpy in the serps alongside other results which are longer (although admittedly a bit keyword stuffed). So (eventually) my question is, will short titles harm my click-through rate ? but are shorter titles better for SEO ? If longer is better are there any recommendations about what I could add to these titles that could potentially help click-throughs and natural rankings ? Many thanks, Stuart
