In the past, determining marketing attribution using UTMs with Marketing Cloud Account Engagement was limited to a same-page-same-visit form fill. What if you could hold those UTMs across multiple pages and even across multiple visits, until the visitor completes a form?

This session lays out a process using a simple low-cost third-party tool that works on ANY website and enables tracking of UTMs across site pages. It even tracks visits between landing pages and your main site. The process works by capturing first- and last-touch UTMs in hidden fields on any Pardot form and on any page.

We will further explore the process of setting first- and last-touch UTM fields that flow through Salesforce from leads to opportunities. Ultimately, you’ll have the power to attribute newly acquired business to specific UTM campaigns.
