ETA for external conversion tracking that spans different domains?

FYI, so everyone understands,
The unBounce page, located on a .me domain, points to an application that resides on a .com domain. The “completion page” of that application, is where we would like to have our external conversion tracking take place.

We will have to use Google Analytics to track the conversions, but I would image that this would be something that a considerable amount of unBounce users would like to have.

I would love to see support for this in Unbounce, tobe used with GA.

Sounds great. I mean, a simple tried and tested process of getting the stuff to work is all that I am asking for. I’ve spent quite a lot of AdWords dollars on driving traffic to your landing pages, from there to shopify but without really knowing the ROI on those ads.

Just going to throw this out there, we’ve seen huge improvements in tracking landing page contributions to external conversions in Google Analytics with in 3 easy steps:

1. Use Unbounce’s Script Manager to add your GA code to all pages at once
2. Instead of the default GA script, use the following to create a “Virtual Pageview” in GA reports that dynamically appends the Variant ID to the end of the pageview…makes is SUPER simple to track the conversion rates and upstream interactions on each landing page variant.
3. Be sure to change your GA view ID and your virtual pageview paths in bold below:

<script> <br />
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){ <br />
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o), <br />
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m) <br />
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga'); <br /><br />
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXX', 'auto'); <br />
ga('require', 'displayfeatures'); <br />
ga('send', 'pageview', '/lp/variant'+window.ub.page.variantId.toUpperCase()); <br /><br /> </script>   

Cheers!

Hi,

I am not a big friend of Google and using Google Analytics is difficult here in Germany (because of the data privacy laws).
But, would the Unbounce external conversion tracking script work if my “success page” is located on a subdomain of my root domain (while the unbounce pages are located on a different subdomain) which is connected to my root domain via a cname entry?

For example, my domain is example.com and I have my unbounce pages on trial.example.com (using a cname to redirect to unbouncepages.com where they are actually hosted) and my success page on success.example.com (using a cname to redirect to the domain where the actual success page lies, e.g. otherdomain.com).

I hope everyone understands what I am trying to say…

Best regards,

Lasse

Thanks for the quick reply. However, this method did not work out for me:

The SSL certificate for my “conversion” domain is only valid for that domain. So if I redirect a subdomain of the domain where my unbounce pages live to that other “conversion” domain (in order to use the unbounce conversion tracking), browsers will always complain that the SSL certificate was not issued for the subdomain that I am using.

However, I assume it should work when not using SSL.

Hi Andrew,

Your code isn’t showing up as bold…which parts are we supposed to change?

Thanks,
