Convert websites are fully integrated with Google Analytics. Each Convert website has their own analytics account. Key events like leads and phone calls are tracked within the analytics account. 

Actions that trigger analytics events

Web form submittals

When a visitor to your website submits a request to you via the web form on your site, a Google Analytics event is triggered. 

Phone calls

How events are recorded in Analytics

Analytics sorted by Category and action. 

  • All lead events are given the CATEGORY "Leads"
