munckin tracking on single page website

Hello,

Our company is launching a single page website. It looks fantastic, however it's all one URL... which means I'm at a loss on how to transfer over the scoring I had established for page visits onto this new site. There are interactive features on this new one page scrolling site, and thought maybe I could track clicks? Though not really sure how to do that.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to track visitors on our site with this one page format, would be appreciative for your help.

Thank you!!

This is possible to implement, but it will take a little bit of development work.  

I would share this link with your development team:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/single-page-applications

You can take the same approach described in the Google Analytics documentation linked above for Munchkin. You would use the Munchkin click link function to do this:

Uh-oh!

I've had a similar issue with some of the technologies used in our product. Anything that relies on data after a querystring or hash ("#") to trigger content changes on the page is not going to activate a "Visited Web Page" trigger. 

The way around this for us has been using the APIs. We'll do a SOAP requestCampaign call for significant events for example -- this creates a hook into your Marketo instance and then you can activate anything you want from there. 

You can also simulate Visited Web Page activity using the APIs (aka, virtual page views). 

These methods are pretty robust but unfortunately there is a development cost up front and every time you want to make a change. 😞

@Kelli as @Murtza says, it will take some development work to make sure interesting actions are logged, but this is not a Munchkin problem so much as a tracking problem in general.  Luckily a single-page website must be powered by JavaScript, which means your developer should be ready add to add the appropriate event hooks.
