Sort Common Conversion Paths by Key Business Metrics

This is an aggregated view of your high level conversion trails organized into your most common conversion paths, where you’re able to see the combination of UTM-sourced touch points your customers interact with before purchase.

You can easily surface top customer paths by Total Revenue, Average Order Value, Touches per Conversion, Time from First Touch, and Time from Last Touch.

Simply use the Order By dropdown to organize your conversion trails by ascending or descending order. 

Review highlights for your paths

The dashboard will highlight the pathways that AdRoll was a touchpoint and the related conversions, the paths where it was the first touch as well as common combinations that can give you insights of how AdRoll interacts with the rest of the platforms in your marketing mix.

Engagement to Conversion

For each conversion path, you’ll see a corresponding visual with UTM-channel touch points occurring over the prior 30-day period (highlighted in the example image). The color blocks show where the concentration of click activity occurs across channels. 

This heat map representation allows you to clearly view where click activities heat up and how that triggers a reaction from your audience to either visit your site and click around or influence purchase decisions.

For example, in the trail featured above, you can see a high concentration of Facebook Social ad interactions towards the beginning of this path, then there's a high level of AdRoll engagement which ultimately pushes users to visit the website and convert. 

Now you have a consolidated view of how your channels are working in tandem you can think about answering meaningful optimization questions like:

  1. What are we doing from a creative perspective?
  2. What are we doing from a messaging perspective and does that align with the sequence of messages users are experiencing across touch points & channels?
