Why is it better?

Why does tracking matter?

Making good decisions is easy when your data is accurate but impossible when it’s not.

Know what converts

Making ad-buying decisions based on clicks and opt-ins leads to expensive mistakes because it’s easy to get lots of clicks that don’t become leads or lots of leads that don’t become customers.

Spend wisely

Optimizing your marketing spend for “deep funnel conversions” is the only way to ensure you’re spending money where it counts.

Problems solved

4 ways that your marketing platform fails to track your leads

What’s most exciting is that you don't even have to do anything to make it work for you because it's all automatic.

Visitor clicks to another page before opting in

You probably don’t realize it, but nearly every marketing platform loses tracking with a single click. Ontraport stores tracking data in the user’s cookie automatically.

Visitor clears their cookies between visits

Even worse, users clear their cookies between visits! (Blasted ad-blockers!) Fortunately, Ontraport tracks first- and last-click attribution data in every contact’s record automatically, out of the box.

Lead opts in with one email address but buys with another

Now they’re really making it hard. But as an Ontraport user, you’re all set. We’ll automatically match IP addresses and attribute the original source to all associated records.

Lead opts in on one device but buys on another

The bane of any marketer’s dream of accurate tracking, using multiple devices thwarts nearly every tracking system. But Ontraport re-identifies a user with every click or login and matches email records to capture the original lead source.

Precog for Your Business

Know what happened even before your contacts opt in

Contacts often click around your site or come back several times before opting in, leaving important clues about their interests and engagement. Ontraport tracks every page visit, and when your prospects opt in, Ontraport completes your contact records with their entire visit history from before they gave you their contact information.

Ontraport Unique Feature

Enhanced UTM Tracking

Don’t lose track just because visitors clear their cookies

Cookies are key for effective marketing campaign tracking, but when visitors use ad blockers or different devices, cookies get lost and your ability to know where a lead came from goes with it. Ontraport automatically stores UTMs in your contact records for permanent tracking goodness — no coding required!

First and Last Attribution

Know where they came from and what made them buy

In order to know what’s working in your marketing program, you need to know both how a contact came to know your business and what content finally drove a purchase… and these are often two different things. Ontraport's advanced marketing attribution keeps track of both the first- and last-clicked source so you know what’s working to drive both new leads and sales.

Getting more clicks is nice, but what you want are real results. With Ontraport, you can base your split testing and lead source tracking not just on what ad or email got the most clicks or leads, but on which got you the most sales, upgrades or referrals.

IP Address Merge

Don’t lose track just because someone uses a different email

When all else fails, it’s worth tracking and merging lead source data based on IP address. Nearly 10% of most lists are composed of leads who use more than one email address, meaning that as many as half of those lead sources are missing from your reports. Ontraport takes care of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is marketing automation and why is it so important?

Marketing automation is technology that manages repetitive marketing tasks and complex campaigns so you don’t have to. This software allows you to automate your communication with leads and customers throughout the customer lifecycle, from their first touchpoint to post-purchase.

When paired with a CRM that collects data about your leads and customers, your marketing automation software can use that data to deliver engaging, effective experiences across multiple channels. Whether you use email marketing, SMS messages or a combination of the two, marketing automation will give you the power to turn more leads into customers — without managing the whole process manually.

What is a digital marketing funnel?

Digital marketing funnels are like road maps that your prospects follow until they eventually convert into loyal customers. You can create all kinds of funnels depending on your business and strategy, however most center around the five customer lifecycle stages: Attract, Convert, Fulfill, Delight and Refer.

With marketing automation, your leads and customers will move from one stage to the next based on their interactions with your business. For example, your marketing platform can bump a contact to their next lifecycle stage automatically after they reach milestones like signing up for your newsletter or making a first purchase. The best part is, it all runs on autopilot after you set it up, which gives you the power to scale faster.


I’m looking for a funnel building software for my B2B business. Would Ontraport be a good fit?

Yes — Ontraport is a great fit for attracting new prospects, nurturing leads, generating sales and more for your B2B business.

Plus, since Ontraport lets you gather and store more data than most marketing automation platforms, you’ll be able to reach more potential customers and get better results from your marketing efforts. 

I want to launch fast. Does Ontraport come with any prebuilt marketing automation systems?

Yes! Ontraport has several done-for-you systems that allow you to kick off your marketing automation in a matter of minutes. These systems are built to help you with a wide range of marketing goals including lead follow-up, customer feedback collection, webinar promotions, online courses, membership sites, email newsletters and more.

What are the best digital marketing tools included in Ontraport’s platform?

Ontraport is designed to be a central hub for your business and marketing needs, which means you’ll have access to all the tools you’ll need to power your digital marketing: a complete CRM, marketing automation, pages and forms, payments, tracking and more. We also have a whole library of ready-to-launch systems that allow you to get your digital marketing strategies up and running in a matter of minutes.

Why should I use an all-in-one marketing platform instead of multiple specialized tools?

Think of it this way — choosing an all-in-one platform is like choosing a smartphone instead of lugging around a computer, camera, map, game console and calculator all day. While a tech stack may seem like a good choice at first glance, it ends up slowing you down in the long run.

The truth is, for most people tech is a hurdle to overcome; not a fun hobby. You don’t have time to stretch yourself thin learning how to use five, six, seven or more different tools at once, when you could embrace one platform that takes care of your CRM, sales and marketing automation under one roof.

Check out this article to learn more about
why all-in-one platforms make the best marketing automation tools.

Is Ontraport a good choice for B2B marketing automation?

Yes — Ontraport is a great fit for attracting new prospects, nurturing leads, generating sales and more for your B2B business. We offer reliable tracking and attribution, highly personalized communication channels, and ready-to-launch marketing funnels that you can kick off in minutes. Plus, since Ontraport lets you gather and store more data than most marketing automation solutions, you’ll be able to reach more potential customers and get better results from your marketing efforts.

How do I know if Ontraport is the best marketing automation software for me?

When you’re shopping for a marketing platform for your business, you’ll want to take your entire business into account — not just the marketing side of things. Whether you choose Ontraport or not, we recommend making sure your automation platform includes the following features, at the very least:
  • A website or landing page builder to share your business with the world online
  • A system for capturing leads and sending marketing emails
  • A contact management system (CRM) to keep track of clients and prospects
  • A payment processing tool to collect orders and charge credit cards/li>
Of course, you’ll probably need more sophisticated tools as your business continues to grow. With Ontraport, you’ll have everything you need now and in the future — all under one roof.

Take a look at our
buyer’s guide for a complete checklist of all the CRM, marketing automation and sales features to keep in mind throughout your software search. It’ll help you find the perfect platform for your business (even if you don’t choose Ontraport).
