How does conversion tracking work?

Conversion tracking works by adding tracking codes or pixels to your website. These codes record users' actions and send the data to analysis tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or specialized software such as Zaphir.

One example of implementation is to insert a conversion pixel on the confirmation page after a purchase to record the completion of the purchase as a conversion.

That is why we advise you not to integrate conversion tracking yourself

At Yoline, we know how important accurate conversion tracking is to the success of your business. On the other hand, we have learned from numerous projects how complex integration can suddenly be. If everything works, that's wonderful. However, a simple software update can suddenly laboriously change all setups. If you're not constantly working in this area, you may be spending hours in front of YouTube and blog testing possible bug fixes. The agency that took care of the set-up not only advises you and has certainly already made the adjustments for you and other customers without you having noticed anything.

Furthermore, the area of tracking is a bit complex. In connection with data protection regulations and personal data, it makes sense to play a certain amount of ping pong with an agency. The agency is there to advise you, you read in, decide and are responsible. That's the way it is today with data protection - and that's a good thing!

At Yoline, our expertise spans across various tools and platforms, and we use cutting-edge technologies to ensure that your tracking strategy is seamlessly integrated with your existing processes. We have partners in our network who focus exclusively on tracking, and we usually bring them on board during implementation. We offer individual advice, identify the most important KPIs and help you continuously optimize your marketing measures. Our data-driven approaches help you make data-based decisions and ROI to maximize.
