Capture online store intent with Criteo OneTag
Overview
There are several events or pages on your website which can provide useful physical store intent signals, which through Criteo OneTag, we can use to enhance performance of your store campaigns.
Please see below the different store intent signals that you are likely to have available on your website, along with detailed configuration of Criteo OneTag to start tracking these events.
We strongly advise that you implement all scenarios that are relevant to your site to maximize the performance of your store campaigns.
1.1 - 'Recommended' or 'Favorite' Store
A 'recommended' store provided by an algorithm based on a shopper's location (where permission has been granted), or a 'favorite' store specifically registered by the shopper, provide strong intent signals of the physical store they prefer to visit.
If you have these capabilities on your website, these events should be added in all events across your site:
Homepage event
Product page event
Search page event
Basket page event
Transaction conclusion page event
Search page event
NB: If both 'recommended' and 'favorite' store are available, always prefer the 'favorite' store.
1.1.1 Script for 'recommended' or 'favorite' store events
<script type="text/javascript" src="//dynamic.criteo.com/js/ld/ld.js?a=YOUR_PARTNER_ID" async="true"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> window.criteo_q = window.criteo_q || []; window.criteo_q.push( { event: "setAccount", account: YOUR UNIQUE ACCOUNT ID }, { event: "setSiteType", type: "m FOR MOBILE OR t FOR TABLET OR d FOR DESKTOP" }, { event: "setEmail", email: "TRIMMED AND LOWERCASE USER EMAIL ADDRESS" }, { event: "viewHome"}, { event: "setZipcode", zipcode: "STORE ZIPCODE" }, { event: "setStore", store_id: "STORE ID" } ); </script>
2.1 Store Locator main page or search page
There are several formats of Store Locator pages that you may have on your site:
Store Locator main page
Store Locator search page
Store Locator listing page
Store Locator search result page
Please see below the events that need to be added to these pages.
2.1.1 Script for Store Locator main page or search page
Whenever (and only when) a shopper accesses the Store Locator main page or search page the following event should be added to the OneTag:
<script type="text/javascript" src="//dynamic.criteo.com/js/ld/ld.js?a=YOUR_PARTNER_ID" async="true"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> window.criteo_q = window.criteo_q || []; window.criteo_q.push( { event: "setAccount", account: YOUR UNIQUE ACCOUNT ID }, { event: "setSiteType", type: "m FOR MOBILE OR t FOR TABLET OR d FOR DESKTOP" }, { event: "setEmail", email: "TRIMMED AND LOWERCASE USER EMAIL ADDRESS" }, { event: "viewStore", user_segment: 18 } ); </script>
2.1.2 Script for Store Locator listing or search result page
If your Store Locator page provides a search functionality, then add the following event to the Criteo OneTag to pass us the result of the search operation by providing the store IDs in the store_id array.
If the search criterion is a postal code, then include it in the zip_code array.
<script type="text/javascript" src="//dynamic.criteo.com/js/ld/ld.js?a=YOUR_PARTNER_ID" async="true"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> window.criteo_q = window.criteo_q || []; window.criteo_q.push( { event: "setAccount", account: YOUR UNIQUE ACCOUNT ID }, { event: "setSiteType", type: "m FOR MOBILE OR t FOR TABLET OR d FOR DESKTOP" }, { event: "setEmail", email: "TRIMMED AND LOWERCASE USER EMAIL ADDRESS" }, { event: "viewStore", store_id: ["FIRST STORE ID", "SECOND STORE ID" /* add a Store ID for each store in the list */], zipcode: "SEARCH ZIPCODE", user_segment: 18} ); </script>
