Why use Marketo’s Munchkin JavaScript?
Marketo’s Munchkin JavaScript is a powerful tracking technology that captures user behaviour on websites and dedicated landing pages. By integrating tracking code on these pages, user activity such as page views and link clicks can be documented. This information is stored in Marketo as events such as “Visit Web Page” and “Clicked Link on Web Page”, which can be used as the basis for triggers and filters in Smart Campaigns and Smart Lists. This allows marketing campaigns and customer interactions to be effectively optimised.
Why use Munchkin JavaScript?
- Understand Customer Behaviour: Munchkin JavaScript provides a detailed insight into the behaviour of website visitors. This includes the first page view through to every subsequent interaction on the site. Organisations gain valuable information about which content is most engaging and which pages are driving conversion.
- Effective Lead Generation and Attribution: Marketo creates an anonymous lead profile for each new visitor identified by the Munchkin cookie. Once a visitor takes a defined action (such as opening an email from a link or filling out a form), their profile is registered in Marketo as a known lead. This allows companies to track the behaviour of leads and take targeted actions based on their behaviour.
- Flexibility and Customisation: Munchkin supports various types of tracking code, including simple (synchronised) and asynchronous (recommended) versions. The asynchronous jQuery version even allows the script to be used in systems with specific requirements for embedded scripts. Companies can customise tracking functionality by, for example, disabling the “Visit Web Page” event or setting cookies only for certain leads.
- Reliability and Data Control: With Munchkin, companies can accurately track specific activities and user behaviour. This includes creating cookies for each visitor and recognising when a known lead is active across multiple sub-domains. Cross-domain tracking is also possible, which is particularly useful for companies that manage multiple domains.
Conclusion
Marketo’s Munchkin JavaScript is an indispensable tool for companies looking to better understand and target their customers. The ability to comprehensively track visitor activity provides valuable insights into customer behaviour and optimises marketing.
Its flexible integration and customisable tracking capabilities make Munchkin JavaScript a versatile digital marketing asset, contributing to lead generation as well as targeted campaign management.
