We’ve introduced UTM tracking codes, which are snippets of text added to the end of a URL, to help you track the performance of your digital marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n<h4>Setting Up UTM Tracking<\/h4>\n<p>It’s easy to set up UTM tracking with BNTouch. You only need:<\/p>\n<p>A website with a BNTouch webform.<br \/>\nA code snippet added to the footer of your website.<br \/>\nOnce these are in place, webform submissions will include tracking details about the visitor. This information will be displayed dynamically on the Mortgage Info tab located at Mortgages > Mortgage Info. If no UTM tracking data is available, the section will not appear.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bntouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screen-Shot-2024-07-23-at-11.30.10-AM-1024x716.png\" alt=\"Utm tracking Code\" width=\"1024\" height=\"716\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-12615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bntouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screen-Shot-2024-07-23-at-11.30.10-AM-1024x716.png 1024w, https:\/\/bntouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screen-Shot-2024-07-23-at-11.30.10-AM-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/bntouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screen-Shot-2024-07-23-at-11.30.10-AM-768x537.png 768w, https:\/\/bntouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screen-Shot-2024-07-23-at-11.30.10-AM.png 1278w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Reporting for Phone Number Validation<\/h2>\n<p>We’ve added a new tab in the Phone Validations page (Options > Phone Validations) that allows you to pull validation results based on database selections.
