  • Tracking allows you to monitor user actions on your Store Locator.


Objectives

  • Analyze the performance of your Store Locator

  • Understand user behavior

  • Identify optimisation opportunities


Tracking Plan

  • The tracking plan is defined and approved in the functional specifications document before the Store Locator development phase.

  • The following elements are generally tracked:

    • Number of page views

    • Clicks on buttons and CTAs (phone, directions, email, appointment booking, etc.)

    • Types of devices used (desktop, mobile, tablet)

    • Traffic sources (Google, direct access, ChatGPT, etc.)


How does tracking work?

  • During development, Partoo integrates a tracking script directly into your Store Locator's code.

  • This script:

    • collects user interactions

    • sends data to Partoo's Google Analytics 4 account

    • feeds a Data Studio monitoring dashboard

Everything is configured by our developers; no action is required on your part.


Your monitoring dashboard

  • Once your Store Locator is live:

    • A Data Studio dashboard is created by the Partoo team

    • It is shared with you during the Delivery Meeting

This dashboard allows you to easily track your Store Locator's performance.


Data & Privacy

Three key points:

  1. No personal or demographic data is collected

  2. Adding Partoo tracking does not affect your existing configuration

  3. Partoo tracking complements your tools without modifying or overwriting your data or Data Layer.


Go further (optional)

  • If you want to use the data in your own tools, you can integrate:

    • Your own Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

    • Your Google Tag Manager (GTM)

This configuration must be defined upstream, during the project's functional specifications.
