The SharePoint Marketing Suite’s goal tracking tool enables you to keep a record of the most important actions that potential customers take when they visit your website – from filling out a form to buying a product. If you want to know whether your subscription newsletter is reaching your target audience, how many people are downloading your brochure, or whether your marketing strategy is leading to a boost in sales, we can help you assess how well these goals are being met. After all, goals are the purpose of your website’s existence and, if you aren’t measuring what leads to their fulfillment, then you’re wasting your most powerful and actionable source of data.

Campaign tracking gives you an insight into your conversion rates, whatever they are, allowing you to associate multiple visits, goals, actions and type of visitor with each of your campaigns. With goal tracking, you can view pre-defined goal-conversion funnels, instantly create new sales funnels and apply them to historical data or ad-hoc business scenarios. Campaign tracking with the SharePoint Marketing Suite means you can set up a funnel by using the name of a page, and apply that funnel to any time period in the past to instantly see the crucial points at which visitors are dropping off.

From your goal tracking data, you’ll be able to assess your website’s performance in terms of your banners, ad positioning and search terms.

With campaign tracking, you’ll be able to effectively evaluate your traffic sources and show the dollar value of your website. Using the invaluable data you’ve gathered from campaign tracking, you’ll know which campaigns are leading to conversions and which are letting you down, helping you reduce dropout rates and ensure that visitors stay on your website.
