⬇️ 4. Add your Website

4.1 Use this article to help you add your Website to RedTrack.

4.2 Once you’ve added your Website, you already have the universal tracking script generated for you automatically. To get it, in your Website form go to the tab Scripts-> scroll down to the field Universal tracking script and copy it (as you will need it later to insert in Magento):

⬇️ 5. Create tracking Campaigns in RedTrack

Once you’ve added your Website within step 4, a default Campaign for the unattributed traffic was automatically created for you. Your next step is to consider the following tracking scenarios:

Scenario 1: If you only need unattributed (aka organic) traffic, then this Campaign is enough for you and you don’t have to create any more Campaigns manually.

Scenario 2: If in addition to the unattributed traffic you also use several paid Traffic channels (like Facebook or Google or something else) you’ll need to add these Traffic channels first and then create a Campaign for each added channel. Thus, you will have 1 Campaign for the unattributed traffic (created automatically within step 4) and another (or more in case of several Traffic channels) for the paid traffic.

Workflow for Scenario 2: 1. Add the needed Traffic channel. 2. Use this guide to help you launch your Campaign for the paid Traffic channel.
Tip: Your online shop will act as an Offer in most cases, so your Campaigns will have only this Offer in the Funnel.
