See source and medium next to the person who requested a demo or applied. Your team knows which channel brought the visit before the first call.
Keep the campaign from tagged links with the lead, along with the click codes Google, Meta and LinkedIn add to ad links.
A prospect can find you through one channel and return through another. The source journey lists the channels used on the way to the form.
See whether the visit included your pricing, security or product pages before the request came in.
Before the first call, your sales team sees where the lead came from and which pages they read.
Mark each lead as won or lost in your CRM. With the source stored on the lead, you can compare how many close from each channel.
Move spend toward the channels whose leads become customers, and test the ones that only bring enquiries.
Lead source tracking records where each lead on your website came from. TrackLeadSource fills hidden form fields, the ones a visitor never sees, with the visit’s source, medium, campaign, click IDs and the pages viewed before the form was submitted.
In fintech, a demo request, application or partnership enquiry can follow more than one visit. The source journey lists the sources of the visits it detected, so your team sees the whole route to the form.
The lead arrives in your CRM or spreadsheet with that context once you map the form’s fields, usually through Make or Zapier. Add the outcome there, and you can compare channels by the leads that close. Our guide on how to measure lead quality by marketing source shows how, and the one on CRM lead source fields shows how to keep the records consistent.
A “How did you hear about us?” field records what a person remembers. Lead source tracking records the visit itself: the channel, the ad click and the pages viewed.
The two can disagree, and the difference is useful. A recorded source shows the channel that brought the visit, and the answer shows what the person recalls.
Many teams keep both. How did you hear about us options covers when the question still helps and how to word it.
Google Analytics 4 shows how many leads each channel brings. TrackLeadSource works at the level of the individual lead: you can see that John Smith came from Google Organic and Merlin Wu from Meta Ads (example names), and keep that next to the lead in your CRM. What is lead attribution explains where each approach fits.
Data analysis
Every lead in your CRM or Google Sheet already has its source next to it. Export the sheet, give it to ChatGPT or Claude, and ask which channels bring the applications you accept and the accounts that get funded. You get a plain-English answer instead of building a pivot table.
Budget allocation
The cheapest leads are often not the cheapest customers. Compare cost per lead with cost per customer for each channel in your own sheet, then move spend to the channels that bring customers.
Market research
You might plan around paid search and find that many customers first came through an AI assistant or a community post. Lead-level source data shows the channels your form submitters used, so your plan can follow them instead of your assumptions.
