  • Check the quality of sales attribution

Traffic sources in practice

Know where new customers come from. And who comes back.

Google Ads, Meta, organic results or direct visits? See each channel's share and separate acquiring new audiences from people returning to your store.

Traffic sources

One view. Sources, channels and returns.

The session summary, new and returning users and channel share show the structure of your traffic. The bar chart lets you compare the main sources at a glance.

From the report view to your next question

  1. 01

    Which sources bring in new audiences?

    Compare the blue bars for Google Ads, Meta and organic traffic. See which activities widen your audience and set them against the cost of acquisition.

  2. 02

    Where do customers return to the store from?

    The green bars show returning users. Compare their share across sources, then check in the journeys how subsequent visits lead to a purchase.

  3. 03

    Does a channel's result also mean sales?

    Combine this view with costs and attribution to assess the revenue assigned to a channel. Traffic without proof of acquisition has its own category — you also see the share that needs checking.

01

Recognized entry sources

Campaign and click tags in links, along with information about the previous page, help establish where a visitor came from.

02

New and returning audiences

Compare the mix for each source. See where new users appear and where people already recognized by tracking come back.

03

A link to sales

Assess channels together with the available order links. Go to attribution, which assigns a share of the sale to the sources the customer came from before buying.

04

Know which sources couldn't be recognized

A missing source isn't added to some chosen channel. You can see where it's worth improving tagging or tracking.

01

value in everyday work

Assess the value of traffic before investing more in a channel.

More visits can look good in a report, but your store needs interest in the offer and purchases. Traffic sources help you prepare a discussion about the role each channel plays and where deeper analysis is worthwhile.

  • Visit quality next to visit counts
  • Material for assessing a partner or campaign
  • More consistent source names across the team
02

acquisition

Compare the channels that bring in visitors.

Campaign tags and entry context help organize your sources. See where traffic comes from and make sure you're comparing channels over the same period.

  • Recognized sources and media
  • Campaign parameters and referring pages
  • A common period for comparing channels
03

quality after entry

Check whether interest lasts longer than one click.

A visit from a campaign is the start of the path. Go from the source to user behavior and see whether people view the offer and reach the next purchase steps.

  • Context of visitor activity
  • Further analysis of journeys and the funnel
  • Available links to sales
04

clean tracking

Spot where tagging needs fixing.

Inconsistent campaign names and missing source information make analysis harder. The report gives you a reason to check links and configuration before a channel's result becomes the basis for a budget decision.

  • Checking campaign names and parameters
  • Visible lack of attribution
  • Distinguishing traffic sources from cost integrations

Getting started

Start with your own store.

Go from setup to a specific question. During the trial, you'll see how this module helps in your day-to-day work.

  1. 01

    We check your campaign tagging

    We verify entry tracking and the parameters that help recognize sources.

  2. 02

    Compare channels

    Choose a period and set traffic against behavior and the available conversion data.

  3. 03

    Look beyond the click count

    Check the journeys and funnel for the selected traffic. Work out whether the problem starts in the campaign or after entering the store.

In your daily work

From question to action.

Marketing specialist

A newsletter is bringing in visitors.

Check source recognition and further behavior on the offer page.

What you gain

You assess the quality of visits after the click and find something to improve in the messaging or the landing page.

Advertising agency

Two campaigns deliver a similar number of visits.

Review traffic behavior and the available links to orders.

What you gain

You have a broader picture for your recommendation than a click comparison alone.

Analyst

You see different names for the same channel.

Check link tags and standardize how your team creates them.

What you gain

You clean up future tracking and make it easier to compare campaign results.

Partnerships coordinator

A partnership with a partner sending traffic to the store is starting.

Agree on link tags, then compare visits and further behavior with other sources.

What you gain

The discussion about continuing the partnership is based on the behavior of acquired users, not just the reach of the publication.

Your plan for the first 30 days

Check the value.
On your own data.

Assess your most important sources and choose a channel to work on further.

  1. 01

    Connect tracking and tagging

    Within 48 hours we set up Flowpeek and help you organize how entries are recognized.

  4. 04

    Write down the next step for the channel

    Choose a campaign analysis, a landing page or a tagging change that will make the next assessment easier.

How will you know it's worth it?

You have a clear assessment of the selected source and know what action follows from your observations.

Questions and answers

Good to know before you start.

Does Flowpeek recognize traffic without an ad integration?

It can recognize sources from link parameters and the referring page. Campaign cost data requires a separate ad integration.

What does an unattributed source mean?

It's a situation where the available data isn't enough to reliably determine the source or link it to an order. It's worth checking your campaign tagging and tracking configuration.

How do I prepare campaign links for clear reporting?

Add UTM tags to your links: the source name, the channel type and the campaign name. Agree on one naming convention within your team and use it in ads, messages and partner materials. The report will find it easier to group entries from the same campaign.

Does Direct mean the customer typed in the address manually?

This traffic can also include entries with no available referrer or tags. Interpret the category according to the report's definition; a lack of information alone doesn't prove the address was typed in.

Why shouldn't I judge a channel by the number of visits alone?

Different sources can attract visitors with different intentions. Set the scale of traffic against behavior, the cart and available sales, and for paid campaigns, against cost as well.

Does a new user mean a new customer?

No. The report describes user recognition in tracking, not a customer's first purchase. A change of device, identifier or consent scope can affect this split. Use it to assess the traffic mix; check new buyers in your order data.

Should a channel with no orders be switched off right away?

First check its role, scale and place in the recorded journey. It's also worth seeing whether order data and tags are correctly linked. A zero value in a single report doesn't explain the cause on its own.

How can I test this module in my own store?

Over 30 days, compare your store's most important channels. We'll take care of the setup and help you check your campaign tagging.
