Why This Matters: You’ve fixed the “Inactive” issue—but basic tracking only scratches the surface. True mastery comes when you can:

  • See which campaigns, ads, and keywords generate high-quality leads

  • Automatically alert your team to issues before they become costly

  • Scale budgets with confidence—knowing exactly where extra spend pays off

1. Hidden UTM Capture in Client Forms

Rather than rely on post-click reports alone, I embed hidden UTM fields in every contact form.

  • Outcome: Every lead record carries the original source, medium, and campaign.

  • Strategic Edge: Build ROI models at the lead level—understand not just volume, but which ads produce your best opportunities.

2. Funnel-Stage Conversion Actions

Stop driving all campaigns toward a one-size-fits-all goal. Instead:

  • Top-Funnel: Track “Download eBook” or “Video View.”

  • Mid-Funnel: Track “Demo Request” or “Webinar Sign-Up.”

  • Bottom-Funnel: Track “Contact Form” or “Phone Call.”
