Configuring Dynamic Tracking Code

Overview

In today's digital landscape, understanding where your leads come from is essential for making smarter marketing decisions. The Dynamic Tracking Code (DTC) helps you track and understand how potential students interact with their websites. By embedding this simple JavaScript code right after the opening <body> tag, you can capture valuable data about website visitors, such as which marketing campaigns brought them in. This information is crucial for optimizing marketing efforts, improving lead management, and increasing enrollments.

The Dynamic Tracking Code helps in:
  1. Enhanced Lead Attribution: The DTC ensures that every lead interaction is captured accurately, providing a clear attribution to the traffic source. This allows you to understand which campaigns are driving the most engagement.
  2. Optimized Marketing ROI: With detailed lead tracking, you can identify high-performing channels and allocate budgets more effectively, leading to improved marketing returns.

Types of Dynamic Tracking Codes

  1. Single Entity Tracking Code: 
    1. Applicable when an institute has only one entity configured on Meritto. 
    2. Features a single College ID (CID) and single URL.
    3. Must be implemented across all web pages to ensure complete tracking coverage.
  2. Multiple Entity Tracking Code:
    1. Applicable when an institute has multiple entities configured.
    2. Requires integration of multiple CIDs and URLs.
    3. Ensures each entity's data is tracked distinctly but within a consolidated framework.

Where to Find the Dynamic Tracking Code



You can access the Dynamic Tracking Code by navigating to: 
  1. Settings > Campaign Tracking > Dynamic Tracking Code. 
  2. For Single Entity Tracking:
    1. Copy the provided tracking code.
    2. Paste it immediately after the opening <body> tag on all web pages
  3. For Multiple Entity Tracking:
    1. Copy individual tracking codes for each entity.
    2. Merge the codes by listing URLs and CIDs in a comma-separated format.
    3. Ensure the order of URLs and CIDs matches for accurate tracking.
    4. Place the combined code after the opening <body> tag.
    5. For example:
      <script type="text/javascript">
      var npf_d='https://demotest1.nopaperforms.com,https://demotest2.nopaperforms.com';
      var npf_c='221,222';
      var npf_m='1';
      var s=document.createElement("script");
      s.type="text/javascript";
      s.async=true;
      s.src="https://track.nopaperforms.com/js/track.js";
      document.body.appendChild(s);
      </script>

Conclusion

Embedding the Dynamic Tracking Code is not just a technical necessity but a strategic advantage. It empowers you with actionable insights, enhances marketing efficiency, and drives better enrollment outcomes. To ensure you're leveraging the full potential of Meritto's lead tracking capabilities, make sure the DTC is correctly implemented across all relevant web properties.
