Tracking Form Submissions to Source with WP
-
Hi all!
I know that we can use conversion tracking in analytics to track form submissions by source, but when a specific form comes through for someone (say Susan Smith) who messaged us looking for info about product xyz...is there a way to connect the data so I can figure out exactly which source brough Susan specifically?
Using Wordpress websites FYI.
Thanks,
Ricky

It should do Ricky - let me know how it goes!

Hey Matt,
If this works, you are THE MAN! This is exactly the type of solution I was looking for. Thanks a ton.

Hi
You may find this useful as a potential solution different to that above -
Install one of these contact form plugins on your site if you don't already use one of them:
- Gravity Forms
- Formidable
- Ninja Forms
- Contact Form 7
Then install this - http://helpforwp.com/downloads/campaign-tracker/ - it will provide referrer information - showing how the visitor arrived at your site as required.
There is a cost involved but this isn't massive and hopefully you should be able to install this and set it up yourself relatively easily.
Hope this helps

You can probably find a good WP freelancer that can do this for you. I don't know of a simpler way to implement such an attribution solution.

Hi Logan,
I guess I assumed there was a much easier way to do this that I must have been missing..but this is a pretty darn clever idea! I don't work with a developer unfortunately...so any suggestions on that front by anyone would be helpful.
Is Freelancer/Guru/Odesk a viable place to find that type of help?
Thanks again,
Ricky

Hey Jared,
I'm referring to a contact form submission on site of some kind. I know I can track through my analytics and see that x number of those form conversions came from organic search...but I'm looking for a way to attribute a specific person's form submission as one of those that came from organic.

By messaged you, do you mean via email, or something like a live chat? I don't see any way to attribute it correctly without some kind of real time identifier, for starters.

You can leverage that phone number by populating a field on the form based on what phone number displays.
For example, you may have the following dynamic phone configuration:
555-1234: Google Organic
555-3456: Google Paid Search
555-5678: Email Marketing
When someone submits a form, there is a hidden field that looks at what phone number is displayed and then populates the field with the coordinating marketing channel. As far as execution of this logic, I'm afraid I can't help, our Dev team handled all that. But it's pretty simple logic, so I think most developers would be able to write this relatively easily.

Hi Logan,
Yes we use CallRail for call tracking which is great, just trying to get more data out of our form submissions. Any plugins anyone knows of or solutions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ricky

Are you, by chance, using any type of dynamic phone tracking on the site? We implemented an attribution model like this by leveraging the displayed phone number.

Reducing Negative Impact of Webpage Login Form
Our real estate website (www.metro-manhattan.com) now requires visitors to login in if they want to search our listing database. The result is that. 9 out of 10 visitors leave without searching; they simply refuse to set up an account. I have attached images of the search bar and login form. Is there a way to increase the percentage of visitors that login? We have tried to make it as simple as possible, allowing visitors to login by Facebook, Google or by providing their email address. We do not send any verification email. We are forced to. keep this login unfortunately. But is there anything we can do to reduce the visitor bounce rate? Thanks,

Question regarding on tracking
Hi guys, We are tshirts printing company.
Conversion Rate Optimization | | WayneRooney
We have of course a website and we have around 18k monthly visitors.
We get around 75 daily quotes.
We are not E commerce so we dot sale on the website. We can get all the information from Google analytic regarding to how many quotes we got and from where they came from but we can't know how many quotes was converted. I heard that i can add ref code on the url and then i will see that code in our quotes system and i will know from where that quote arrived.
Another thing that i know i can do is that the system will remember that first url that the visitor enters the site so like that i can know exactly from each url we got the quote and i know that the professional name for this is SESSION. So after all this, the obvious questions here is, Is everything that im saying here is make sense ?
Can i add SESSION to WordPress site ? And how easy is that/or the cost for that ?
For all of you the expert out there, is this the right way to track everything if you are not eCommerce ? Any help are welcome !!0 -
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

Contact Forms Vs Email Enquiries
This is a usability question more than SEO but I thought this community would be the one to ask. Are completed conversion rates generally higher for contact forms or email enquiries? I try to encourage our clients to have short contact forms where possible to ensure the first contact (ask questions later). Personally an email seems like a giant daunting and potentially irrelevant enquiry that could get lost in the plethora of spam emails flying around. Also half the time I start the email and then give up.

Can I track user journeys from a particular source?
We want to track users from a particular campaign to see what they do when they get to the site. The site generates revenue from clicks out so we want to be able to see whether visitors from a particular source click on multiple deals. i.e. enters from the source and then clicks on 3 different deals that take the user to other sites. Using GA, can I track this by implementing UTM on both the campaign links and outgoing links? Can I see exactly how many deals the average user is clicking on? As far as I know I can: Track visitors from the campaign Track overall clicks on deals Divide click outs by visitors But I can't track how many deals the visitors from campaign A clicked on... or can I?
