Gartner Digital Markets Tracking

To track traffic from Gartner Digital Markets (Capterra, Software Advice, GetApp) Dreamdata uses UTM parameters.

Dreamdata will default to 'Capterra' if the platform is not specified using utm_source equal to 'gartner' or 'gdm'

To furthermore, ensure Dreamdata can map your traffic and revenue back to the Categories they originated from, add the Category name to your UTMs links using utm_campaign. You can find the categories here: PPC Bidding > Landing Pages

Example:

utm_source=capterra

utm_medium=cpc

utm_campaign= marketing_analytics (the category name)
