A practical example
A comparison-page demo request converts, but the CRM record shows no source. Tracing the path reveals the booking tool sits on a redirect that strips UTM parameters before the form loads.
What to evaluate before investing
- Map every hop from click to CRM record and confirm which fields each integration writes, asking vendors for their field-mapping documentation.
- Submit test conversions through each capture asset and compare the source fields that arrive against the parameters sent on the click.
- Check whether redirects on your capture destinations preserve query strings, and who controls those redirects.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Fixing the gap restores data linkage but does not by itself prove which channel caused the conversion; attribution modeling remains a separate decision.
