Getting started with Madlitics: Capture attribution data effortlessly

‍Turn visits into clear, attribution-ready data
Madlitics captures how visitors arrive on your website and connects that data to every form submission — so you know exactly where your leads come from and what brought them in.

When someone lands on your site, Madlitics checks for UTM parameters and referral data to identify the traffic source. It automatically categorizes each visit into a marketing channel (like Paid Search, Organic Social, or Email) and assigns additional campaign details using a customizable set of segments. As visitors navigate your site, Madlitics stores this data using first-party cookies. When a visitor fills out a form, Madlitics adds attribution values — like Channel, Campaign, Landing Page, and more—into hidden fields behind the scenes.

Data flows directly into your connected tools through the form submission, giving you clear, complete insight into where each lead came from and what influenced their conversion. No need to manage tags, query parameters, or complex tracking setups — Install the snippet, connect your forms, and Madlitics does the rest.

Once Madlitics is installed, every form submission becomes a complete attribution record — no extra tools, no guessing. You’ll be able to optimize spend, improve campaign performance, and report results with confidence, all from the data Madlitics captures automatically.

1. Add UTM parameters to all inbound links

Any marketing effort that drives traffic — whether it’s a paid ad, an email campaign, or an organic post — should have properly structured URLs that clearly define the visitor’s origin. Setting it up is a straightforward process that starts with ensuring all inbound links include UTM parameters.

A LinkedIn campaign, for example, might link to:
‍https://yoursite.com/?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=paidsocial&utm_campaign=q1_promo

2. Add hidden fields

Once you’ve added UTM tracking to your inbound links, the next step is to install Madlitics on your site and update your Framer Forms to include hidden fields that will store attribution data when a visitor submits a form automatically. Hidden fields to include:

• Channel (e.g., Paid Search, Organic Social, Direct)
• Segment 1 (Platform name: Google, LinkedIn, Twitter)
• Segment 2 (Campaign name)
• Segment 3 (Ad group, offer name, or post type)
• Segment 4 (Creative type or ad variation)
• Landing page/group (Tracking & first-touch attribution)

3. Utilize attribution data

With the setup complete, every form submission in Framer now carries full attribution data, ensuring accurate insights into where leads originate. Pass this data to your CRM, analytics tools, or marketing automation platforms to track performance, refine campaigns, and optimize marketing efforts with precision.

Outperforms basic UTM tracking
Madlitics captures, categorizes, and persists attribution data across sessions, giving you a complete, structured view of what’s working in your marketing. Say goodbye to losing attribution when users navigate your site, struggling with formatting inconsistencies, and ingored non-UTM traffic.

Attribution across pages and sessions

Cleaner, more reliable data
Duplicate UTMs and inconsistent formatting break reports and mislead teams. Madlitics cleans and organizes attribution data before sending it to your CRM, giving you accurate insights.

See which content converts
Attribution isn’t just about where visitors came from—it’s about what convinced them to convert. By capturing landing page data alongside UTM parameters, Madlitics shows you which blog posts, case studies, or pricing pages drive the most revenue, helping you scale content that works.
