Below are commonly asked questions about the Digital Marketing Pipeline (Leads) Dashboard:
-
When I view the Conversion Detail tab I see my Website Leads volume by Organic Social vs. Paid Social. However, in my Google Analytics UI reporting, I don't see either of those channels. Is my dashboard broken?
- Nope! Google Analytics reports on activity through their Default Channel Definitions. which does not break out traffic between Organic and Paid Social. ChannelMix will split out traffic for you. This allows you to see the complete performance for these two channels in your Pipeline Summary tab! ChannelMix allows you to see conversion rates for Organic and Paid Social and cost per website lead for Paid Social.
