Hi,
I came across the following problem today. We have a published article in a digital magazine (today) that links to a page on our website ( drupal web site )
The url for the link contains UTM parameters source-medium and campaign
In google analytics I see 5 visits so far. I can see the campaign id and the source/medium. Everything is ok there.
But, I have a campaign running measuring the effectiveness for the ad in Marketo.
One of the smart campaigns = "10 - Clicked Ad", in which I want to measure the "visits web page" is build with the following smart list
The campaign members overview doesn't show me contacts, so I am wondering what is the cause :
- Is my definition for the "Visits Web Page" correct ( I am doing Web page = Any , work with a query string parameter and a referrer since this is an external page )
- Can the cause be the fact that the 5 registered visits in google analytics are from unknown people ( no marketo cookie )
I think your hunch of the 5 Google Analytics visitors are unknown people in Marketo is correct. Have you tried testing this out with your own known Marketo record?
Does your domain use SSL? If it doesn't, you shouldn't rely on the Referrer being present.
- Can the cause be the fact that the 5 registered visits in google analytics are from unknown people ( no marketo cookie )
Of course. (Not "no Marketo cookie" though, a still-anonymous cookie.)
