The problem
Kit (ConvertKit) tracks opens and clicks once someone's on the list. Where they came from before that, the ad, the post, the referral, never makes it into their profile.
How to set it up
SourceTag watches your website and remembers how each visitor got there. Submit a form connected to Kit (ConvertKit) and that history rides along in hidden fields, landing on the subscriber's profile as channel, campaign and source.
Add SourceTag to your site
One script tag in the header, or the WordPress plugin.
Add hidden fields to your forms
Add the attribution fields to whatever form feeds Kit (ConvertKit). They map straight to subscriber properties.
Look at a subscriber profile
Submit a test form with a UTM parameter, then check Kit (ConvertKit) for the new properties on that subscriber.
Segment subscribers by channel
Once attribution data lands on subscriber profiles in Kit (ConvertKit), you can build segments based on how people found you. Send different sequences to paid vs organic subscribers. See which campaigns actually grow your list.
By channel
Paid Search, Organic, Social, Referral, Direct
By campaign
Which ad campaigns drive the most signups
By landing page
Which pages convert visitors into subscribers
