How to track YouTube ad parameters in Keap

Watch lead source tracking in action

You’re running YouTube ads and sending leads to Keap, but tracking which exact campaign, ad group, or ad generated each lead can feel impossible.

While YouTube ads show the total number of leads per campaign, they don’t link individual leads (or the revenue they eventually bring) to specific campaigns, ad groups, or ads.

In this article, I’ll show you a method to capture YouTube UTM parameters in Keap for every lead, so you can see exactly which ads drive results.

Capture YouTube ads parameters in Keap

LeadSources is a marketing attribution software that tracks YouTube ads UTM parameters for every lead you generate.

When a visitor converts into a lead, LeadSources automatically captures the YouTube ads UTM parameters from the URL and injects them directly into Keap.

Each lead comes with a comprehensive lead source report, including:

  • Channel & source (automatic attribution)
  • UTM parameters: campaign, term, and content
  • Pages visited
  • Device data

LeadSources lead source attribution doesn’t only work for YouTube ads, but also for other channels such as: SMM, SEO, social, PR, emailing, etc.

LeadSources relies on a robust attribution algorithm to ensure attribution for 100% of the leads:

  • No YouTube ads UTM parameter lost during complex customer journeys
  • Persistent attribution across subdomains
