Add Tracking Tools to a Campaign
Why for a digital marketer it is so fundamental to use tracking tools?
At the heart of a digital marketing campaign is the importance of performance monitoring.
The most important part of a campaign is to study the data that emerges more than the results themselves, which allows you to fine-tune future campaigns and increase the likelihood of success.
Using very advanced software such as Google Analytics or Google Ads, it is possible to obtain a great deal of information on both the organic and campaign performance in relation to the audience (age, gender, geographical origin), the device used (PC, mobile, tablet), the operating system (Android or iOS) and the events recorded on your website.
Among the parameters to be checked is the 'digital' origin of the user, which can be:
- organic search, when the user finds your site via search;
- referral, when a third-party service refers to your site;
- direct, when the user types your site directly into the search bar;
- social, when they arrive via your social pages;
- paid search, when the user reaches your site through an advertising campaign.
It is precisely this last type that we will discuss in this article, in particular the tracking tools you can use to correctly set up the URLs, events and emails of your campaigns from which users come.
These 3 tools are provided by SeoChecker and are totally free:
- Google URL Builder;
- iOS Tracking URL;
- Google Play URL Builder;
