Find the right starting point
Test the link delivered to a recipient, including the email provider’s wrapper. Distinguish delivered clicks, collected website visits and completed conversions. Security scanning can affect click counts, but a short or zero-engagement visit alone does not establish that a visitor is a bot.
- Follow the delivered link
Compare the authored URL with the destination after the email wrapper redirects.
- Review tagging conflicts
Check provider auto-tagging, duplicate values and CTA placement labels.
- Confirm website collection
Verify the intended property and processed campaign report.
