Lead source and marketing attribution tracking in Kylas CRM

You send your leads to Kylas CRM and want to attribute each lead to its marketing source.

You may have already tried several solutions, but you still can’t get clean attribution because:

  • Asking your leads where they came from can’t be trusted
  • UTM parameters get lost during the customer journey
  • Too many leads are attributed as “Direct” by default
  • Last-click attribution models ignore the real customer journey

In this article, I’ll show you a robust solution to automatically track lead source (and other marketing attribution data) in Kylas CRM for 100% of your leads.

What lead source and marketing attribution data can you send in Kylas CRM?

LeadSources is a marketing attribution software that tracks attribution data for each lead you generate.

When a user converts into a lead, LeadSources injects this attribution data into Kylas CRM.

Every lead comes with a rich lead source report including: marketing attribution data, UTM parameters, user journey, and device data.

LeadSources attribution works for all channels, both paid (PPC, SMM, affiliates, etc.) and organic (SEO, social, PR, emailing, etc.).

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

  • No UTM parameter lost during complex customer journeys
  • Persistent attribution across subdomains
  • No need for dozens of hidden fields in your form

Now, imagine a user clicks on your PPC ad and leaves your site without filling out your form.

Four months later, the same user returns to your site from a Google organic search and completes your form.

LeadSources remembers all previous visits and provides a complete marketing attribution report for every session that occurred before the form submission.

Tracking the full lead journey helps you understand the role each marketing channel plays in your lead generation strategy.

That ad that seemed ineffective because it didn’t generate leads might actually be the first touchpoint of your most valuable leads. The full lead journey simply wasn’t visible before.
