Tracking URL feature in LeadSquared allows you to use landing page in multiple marketing campaigns, such as Facebook, Google Pay Per Click ads and so on. You should use tracking URLs when you’re directing traffic to a landing page from somewhere other than a call-to-action on your own site, like an email blast, PPC campaign, banner ad, and so forth. By using tracking URL feature, you can accurately track the lead source. For example, you might want to know how many users come to a landing page from a particular Facebook ad, or Google Search ad, or how many users signed up on your newsletter landing page on a particular website page.
A landing page with tracking URL looks like this (Token is bold): http://pages.leadsquared.com/Webinar-How-to-Get-Started-With-Website-SEO?utm_source=Pay%20per%20Click%20Ads&utm_medium=Google%20PPC%20Ads&utm_campaign=How%20to%20get%20started%20with%20SEO
