Attribution is Power: The New Advertising Conversion Cloud with Enterprise Analytics

Two, among many, truths in digital marketing today are:

1. Online ads should direct visitors to post-click landing pages.
2. Every ad campaign needs a dedicated post-click landing page.

Why?

The hyper-focus a post-click landing page brings to your offer and/or campaign gives you the best chance at converting a prospect into a lead.

Kudos to you If you’re already sending traffic to post-click landing pages. And for those that are dabbling, you’re going to notice a change for the better. What the seasoned marketer and the newbie will both experience is:

• Creating post-click landing pages at scale, quickly, can be a drain on company resources
• Attributing ad spend to post-click landing pages, and more specifically to post-click landing page variations is all but impossible to track

With our newest product, those frustrations disappear.

Introducing Instapage enterprise analytics

As the only post-click landing page platform built for online paid advertising, we’re announcing the new Advertising Conversion Cloud for marketing teams and agencies that invest in digital advertising programs like Google AdWords. This new offering enables marketers to maximize paid advertising ROI by building personalized post-click landing pages at scale. The Advertising Conversion Cloud is built on the powerful Instapage post-click landing page platform and includes a full range of enterprise solutions and services including the new Advertising Attribution Solution, advanced security, implementation services, and customization.

With this new offering marketing teams can:

• Leverage the Instapage platform to build stunning, mobile-responsive post-click landing pages at scale, seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure and satisfy compliance and security requirements
• Attribute conversion, pipeline, and revenue to specific AdWords campaigns
• Track cost-per-visitor and cost-per-lead for paid and organic traffic
• Achieve immediate results with enterprise-grade implementation services
• Realize maximum ROI from ad campaigns with a dedicated Customer Success Manager and expert consultation services

The new Advertising Attribution Solution is a first-of-its-kind offering that delivers highly detailed insights across the entire marketing and sales funnel. It includes integrations with Google AdWords and Google Analytics. Lead metadata from Google AdWords is passed to down-funnel systems like marketing automation and CRM. This passthrough allows users to attribute top of the funnel metrics like ad campaign and cost-per-click to down-funnel goals like conversion, pipeline, and revenue. Users can also track cost-per-visitor and cost-per-lead for paid and organic traffic. post-click landing page variation information is passed to Google Analytics, to allow users to view detailed analytics for each of the variations.

The Advertising Attribution Solution includes enhanced analytics capabilities that offer users improved data filtering and customizability. View real-time analytics reports on visitors, conversion rate, cost per visitor and cost per lead. Slice the reports by page/variation, traffic source, and device type, and filter by unique visitors, traffic type, device type, and date range:

Advertising attribution

The simplest way to ensure paid advertising campaigns are effective is to track their performance across the entire marketing and sales funnel, then attribute revenue, pipeline, and conversions to a specific ad campaign.

Unfortunately, the attribution of bottom-of-the-funnel metrics, like revenue, to top-of-the-funnel data like campaign and cost, is either impossible to track, inaccurate, or can only be collected manually. The source of this difficulty lies in the middle of the funnel. Most data collection systems are unable to capture and pass this information to the bottom-funnel systems.

Now, with the new Advertising Attribution Solution, customers have full visibility into paid advertising attribution across the entire marketing and sales funnel. Enterprise users can also track cost-per-visitor and cost-per-lead for paid and organic traffic — data no other post-click landing page solution can provide:

How it works

The Instapage platform now fully integrates with Google AdWords, allowing you to collect and see AdWords meta data like cost and campaign information within the Instapage dashboard. This allows you to track cost-per-lead and cost-per-visitor for your post-click landing pages for both paid traffic and organic traffic.

The platform will also pass lead meta data like ad campaign, average cost per visitor, referral source and more, to bottom-funnel systems like marketing automation and CRM. This allows customers to attribute top-of-the-funnel metrics to bottom-of-the-funnel goals like conversion, revenue, and cost.

The Instapage platform also integrates with Google Analytics so you can see post-click landing page variation information in your Google Analytics dashboards.

Users on all plans will be able to access the following panels on the analytics dashboard: Visitors, Conversions, and Conversion Rates. Users with the Enterprise Solution can also track cost-per-visitor and cost-per-lead for paid and organic traffic on the analytics dashboard:

We’ve continually added new functionality to our platform that makes Instapage the only post-click landing page solution built for online paid advertising, and it shows:

Instapage has become an important part to scaling our AdWords campaigns. The ability to create, A/B test, optimize, and analyze the success of our post-click landing pages has made our team smarter and faster. Now our designers can create an entire campaign without developer resources. Even more, the service we receive from our dedicated Customer Success Manager has made an enormous impact on our ability to meet our ROI goals.

What else comes with enterprise analytics?

Customization

Your organization is unlike any other. It has its own needs, processes, and technology infrastructures that are developing and changing as it grows. A one-size-fits-all approach won’t work for you, and any new technology you adopt must seamlessly integrate with the existing ecosystem to minimize disruption and ensure business continuity.

What you need is a customized offering that addresses your unique business needs. Instapage will work with you and your team to create the plan that works best for you and your clients. Select the number of published post-click landing pages, monthly visitors to these post-click landing pages, team members, and workspaces, then select the integrations you need, and Instapage will tailor a plan to fit your needs.

Instapage will also work with you to integrate the platform into your marketing stack, without disruption, while minimizing costs, and maximizing efficiency and profitability.

Customer success

Marketers in large organizations value convenience and high-quality service. They need a trusted advisor that can help them realize the maximum value from their investments by implementing best practices.

Instapage will offer a dedicated Customer Success Manager for Enterprise customers. The Customer Success Manager will proactively help them navigate the onboarding process, provide timely responses to issues, consult them on best practices, and help them succeed and realize the maximum return on their investment. The customer success program includes onboarding training and consultation with design and conversion experts.

Implementation services

Marketers in large organizations have many priorities. They want to purchase platforms like Instapage to address their strategic needs but are too busy to learn set up new software, or create best practices to realize optimum results. This can potentially lead to long onboarding times and sub-optimal implementations.

Instapage is committed to offering premium services to ensure that customers realize the maximum ROI. We will offer customers a customized package based on their unique needs, then partner with them to get them started quickly with implementation and onboarding services. We will also offer expert consultation to help them implement best practices to maximize conversions and optimize user experience. We will support customers continually through their growth journey with ongoing customer success and managed services.

Enterprise security

Enterprises have stringent security requirements, and companies in highly regulated industries like finance, healthcare, and government have rigorous compliance requirements like PCI, HIPAA, FDCC, FINRA, etc. Most of these requirements include a basic set of security mandates like data encryption, privacy, authentication, and access control.

Instapage offers a range of security features that allow enterprises to add the platform to their marketing stack in a secure and compliant way.

• SSL certificates ensure secure connections to post-click landing pages
• On-premise hosting allows companies to host post-click landing pages, leads, and integrations on their own servers
• Lead pass-through allows organizations to route leads to their destinations without being stored in the Instapage platform
• Dedicated servers ensure that your instance will be hosted on a dedicated server instead of a shared server

When you sign up for the Enterprise plan, you can enjoy similar success as Heap:

Instapage and PPC advertising go hand-in-hand. Not only has Instapage been the driving force behind our ability to scale our post-click landing page design process, but their advanced features allow us to iterate rapidly with a very small team.

Features and benefits of Instapage enterprise analytics

Feature #1: Integration with Google AdWords

Benefit: With our new AdWords integration, PPC managers can easily track the performance of their AdWords campaigns across the entire funnel. They can also see the average cost per visitor and average cost per lead across paid, organic, and all traffic.

For agencies, you can easily connect your clients’ workspaces with their AdWords accounts and all post-click landing pages created within the client workspace will automatically be integrated with their AdWords account. You can choose to turn off the AdWords integration for specific post-click landing pages. You can also disconnect and switch AdWords accounts at any time.

Feature #2: Integration with Google Analytics

Benefit: With our new Google Analytics integration, marketers can view post-click landing page and variation information from within their Google Analytics dashboard.

You can easily connect your clients’ workspaces with their Google Analytics (GA) accounts and all post-click landing pages created within the client workspace will automatically be integrated with their GA account. You can choose to turn off the GA integration for specific post-click landing pages. You can also disconnect and switch GA accounts at any time.

Feature #3: Lead metadata pass through

Benefit: With the new Advertising Attribution Solution, you can easily attribute bottom of the funnel metrics like conversions, pipeline, and revenue to top of the funnel lead metadata like the post-click landing page name, the variation shown, the version served (mobile/desktop), form submission timestamp, referral source, IP address, AdWords campaign, and average cost-per-click. The Instapage platform enables this by extracting the lead metadata information and passing it down to bottom of the funnel systems like marketing automation (MA) and CRMs.
