Welcome to AdBeacon!

It’s time to set you and your clients up for optimization and attribution success!

Step 1: Client Permissions

In order to ensure your teams can properly integrate and track your client’s first-party ecommerce data and achieve the best results possible – your clients will need to grant you the proper access and permissions.

To simplify this first step AdBeacon has provided detailed instructions you can send to your client.

Your team can send the link below directly to your client via email – once permissions have been granted your team can move on to step two!

Step 2: Agency Set-Up

Now that your cleints ecommerce store permissions are set up, it’s time to connect all the dots for your client’s campaigns. Below you will find step-by-step instructions for UTM’s, user access settings and much more. 

UTM Set-UP

By implementing the AdBeacon UTM codes, AdBeacon is able to track separately from the ad platforms to ensure the click journey is revealed. 

This is just one part to how we’re able to prove each and every purchase. 

  1. Without UTM codes in place, tracking will not be accurate – so make sure they’re implemented!
  2. Placing UTM parameters at the ad level should not kick your ads back into the learning phase. 
  3. As an extra step of precaution, input the UTM and publish during low traffic times. 
  4. For post ID, please read the below on best practices.
