Google analytics goal complete when lead capture?

Hi Finge,

Your best bet is to track the form submit action as an event. To make this work with Unbounce and Google’s Universal Analtyics, you’ll use their jquery method to tie the action to your button.

So, if, for example, your form’s button ID were #lp-pom-button-16, then you’d replace #button in their example with #lp-pom-button-16, like this:

ga('send', 'event', 'button', 'click', 'nav-buttons');   
}); ```   
 
That should do the trick.

…that, unfortunately, I can’t say for sure. In my own experience using KISSmetrics the answer is unfortunately yes and up till now, I haven’t found a proper solution. I’ve poked around to see if Universal Analytics supports URL goal tracking but haven’t seen anything yet. If they do, that would help avoid those mis-attributed clicks.

Hmm. So far as I know, you shouldn’t have to define it. Once you add the tracking it should populate in GA automatically thanks to the “send” parameter. I’d recommend posting in the Google Analytic’s support forum as well. I poked through the even tracking posts but couldn’t see anything that quite describes your situation Finge. Nonetheless, you can find a list of event tracking related issues here and you might notice something I didn’t.

If you do puzzle it out though, I’d love to hear what the solution was.

Hey Bert,
The best way to achieve this would be to use a “Form Confirmation” dialogue when your form is submitted (this is the second tab in the editor when you add a form to your page).

This dialogue acts like any other page, which means you can put scripts on it for firing third party conversions (google adwords, analytics, etc…)

Now I haven’t actually done this myself yet, but here’s how I believe this should work!

Google Analytics goals are URL based, so when you set one up in GA, you’ll have to provide a URL. You’ll need to fake this a bit, but if your landing page was http://mysite.com/mypage then make the goal URL something like " /mypage/formsubmit". It’s important to know that what you name it doesn’t matter as long as you refer to it properly later on.

Now that your goal is set up in GA, go back to your Unbounce page (where I assume you have your GA script embeded using the Javascripts component - if not, check out this knowledge base article) and select the Form Confirmation window for your form (the second tab in the editor)

You’ll want to embed google analytics into this page as well, so follow the same steps as in this article and put your code in the Scripts component. This is where you’re going to edit a line of code to trigger the URL for your goal. The line of code you need to edit in your script will end up looking like:

_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', "/mypage/formsubmit"]);

So your final result should be something like this:

<script type="text/javascript"> <br /><br />
var _gaq = _gaq || []; <br />
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']); <br />
<strong>_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', "/mypage/formsubmit"])</strong> <br /><br />
(function() { <br />
  var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; <br />
  ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; <br />
  var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); <br />
})(); <br /><br /> </script>   

Save and republish, and let me know if it works!

Cheers,
Carter

hi carter,
isn’t it a problem that with the solution you’re suggesting, i include the GA tracker code twice?
one time in the landing page and another time in the “popup page”?

hi Carter
I remember reading somewhere that google analytics in an iframe might not work - have you tried it yet?
thanks
