Cross-platform tracking

Cross-platform tracking refers to monitoring and analyzing user interactions across platforms like mobile apps and websites. This method enables marketers and businesses to create a comprehensive user behavior profile, facilitating a deeper understanding of the customer journey from initial engagement to conversion.

How it works: You can track the entire customer journey with an extension to the web tracking client and mobile SDKs. Keep events attached to the same visitor even while switching from a native mobile app to a mobile web browser and vice versa. One of the common uses of cross-platform tracking is deep linking. Marketers can use deep links in campaigns to track performance and improve targeting strategies.

Key benefits:

  • User journey analysis: Cross-platform tracking allows for mapping user interactions across different platforms, helping to identify how users transition between them (e.g., starting on a mobile app and completing a purchase on a desktop).
  • Attribution accuracy: By capturing data from various touchpoints, cross-platform tracking enhances the accuracy of marketing attribution, allowing businesses to assess the effectiveness of their advertising efforts across channels.
  • Data integration: The collected data is integrated to form a unified view of user behavior, which is crucial for optimizing marketing strategies and improving user experience.

Cross-platform tracking is a strategic advantage for many companies. With consumers frequently switching between platforms for various tasks, businesses implementing effective cross-platform tracking strategies can significantly enhance their marketing effectiveness and improve customer engagement.
