STEP 1 - Make the UID/CID available in your reports (non PII)#1 Make the UID and/or the CID available in your standard reports

with custom dimensions:

#2 Unify the sessions with the UID if any:

ABC258 258.258

STEP 2 - Define the key and make it available for your business

The linking key should be available in your business data when the users complete the offline transaction AND must be sent in GA together with the lead

→ Need to adapt the product/process (ID on the contract, offer etc.)

Make it happen

▶ User ID▶ Transaction ID▶ Unique coupon / unique promo code


Make it happen

Transaction ID Value Product 1 10,00 € Chocolate4 4,00 € Bread3 11,00 € Apple

LINKING ID IS THE SAME FOR LEADS AND SALES

STEP 3 - Carefully define the measurement protocol requests that will feed GA with offline data

Make it happen

▶ Hit type: must be retrievable in MCF reports (transactions, event goals, page goals)

▶ Source/medium: will be direct by default. Choose one that is identifiable

▶ Enrich the hit with transaction data: transaction ID, value, product


Make it happen

STEP 4 - Build your automated solution

Make it happen

▶ Keep it simple (Google sheet + simple script)▶ In case you have a developer: 1h job ▶ Determine a process (ex: each month)▶ Make sure you send the data only once▶ Don’t forget to configure the goals in GA
