Please move the question to Products as it is Marketo implementation-specific. (Marketing Central is supposed to be for general mktg discussion, though this is totally confusing because there are Marketo-specific blog posts there. Grr.)
- Do URL parameters only work on Marketo landing pages? Would the parameters work for a page on our main website even if that page doesn't have an embedded form? I'm asking because the links we share via social media are not always Marketo landing pages or pages with forms. |
Do they "work"... well, they certainly still appear in the URL! But if there is nothing to process them, they'll just be ignored. When tracking the touch-to-conversion path, you want your tracking scripts on every single page, even if the pages don't contain forms. This way the information is persisted (= stored in cookies) to be forwarded around until there's a reason/way to pass it up to Marketo.
- Can we use the name of a custom field for the Parameter Name? In the example, it only uses the "Source" field. |
You can use any field you want.
- Depending on the type of the custom field (Parameter Name), can the Parameter Value be a value (such as +1) if we wanted to track number of clicks for a particular social network for a particular lead? |
You can't directly use a lead field, even it's numeric, as an "Increment By" field against another (Number or Score) field without calling a webhook to do the addition.
You can use the last update of a field to increment a Score. Trigger on Data Value Changes for a field called Last Source, for example, constraining by New Value is Twitter.
