Custom Variables

Custom Variables are additional dimensions that allow you to refine your Google Analytics tracking

Custom Variables allow us to track any additional data that we choose!

So campaign generation experience too!

HOW?

• Client adds Custom Variable in Google Analytics UI

• Client adds Custom Variable in Google Analytics UI
   
• Tells us his account ID and a chosen slot number for storing Maxymiser information

• Client adds Custom Variable in Google Analytics UI
