How this LinkedIn conversion tracking template works
This template uses a combination of Zapier's powerful tools to create a seamless tracking system. Here's how it works:
- Lead capture: When a new lead is generated through your LinkedIn lead ad campaign, a Zap is triggered.
- Data storage: That Zap automatically captures the lead information and logs it in Zapier Tables. This acts as your central database for all LinkedIn-generated leads.
- Interface creation: An interface is set up to give you a user-friendly view of your database. This allows your team to easily access and update lead information.
- In-store purchase tracking: When a lead buys something in your physical store, you or your staff can quickly update their status in Zapier Tables through the interface.
- Conversion reporting: Once a purchase is recorded, another Zap gets triggered—this time, to send this conversion event back to LinkedIn.
- Campaign optimization: LinkedIn gets the conversion data, allowing its algorithms to refine your future ad campaigns for even better targeting and lead quality.
To get started:
- Create your LinkedIn conversion specification.
- Connect your LinkedIn account to Zapier.
- Select your lead ad campaign in the Zap setup.
- Customize the database and interface to match your business's needs.
- Train your staff on updating purchase information in the Interfaces.
That's all! Then just watch as the data flows in and your campaigns improve.
