All WOWAPPS widgets allow you to add a 'source code' to each link. You can call it whatever you want and the benefit of doing so is that you will be able to see where your traffic is coming from.
The majority of WOWAPPS links look like this:
https://bookings.wowapps.com/make-booking/sheascafe?src=button1
Notice the src=button1 - this is known as your ‘source code’ - basically a way to know which link your customer has booked from.
You can change anything after the '=' to whatever you desire and then have your WOWAPPS report reflect this information.
For example:
https://bookings.wowapps.com/make-booking/sheascafe?src=fB2
https://bookings.wowapps.com/make-booking/sheascafe?src=instbio
https://bookings.wowapps.com/make-booking/sheascafe?src=holidaypromo
I have made three links and changed the ‘source code’ in each one.
- Link one – I have put on a Facebook ad.
- Link two – I have put on my Insta bio.
- Link three – is a local community page that has done a write-up for me and people can book from.
Now let's assume that bookings happen at all three links and let’s take a look at the booking report:
Through the ‘Via’ column (you may have to click on the image) we can see that a booking happened at each link.
Why is this Useful?
You can now start tracking where your traffic is coming from and who is ordering/booking with you. As the world moves toward more stringent privacy policies, tech behemoths make it more difficult to easily track where your marketing spend is coming from...this is one way to keep track.
