Know Exactly Where Every Lead Comes From

Lead Source for WordPress tracks UTM parameters, ad platform click IDs, and referral sources — then attaches that data to every form submission in WordPress. So you can see exactly which campaigns, channels, and ads are generating real leads.

You’re Spending Money on Ads. But Which Ones Are Actually Generating Leads?

Google Analytics tells you how many visitors came from each channel. But it can’t tell you which specific leads came from your Google Ads campaign versus your Facebook retargeting. Lead Source plugin for WordPress bridges that gap — giving you lead-level attribution right inside WordPress.

Stop guessing which half of your marketing budget is working. Start seeing real data, attached to real leads, so you can double down on what’s actually driving results.

How It Works

Install & Activate

Upload the plugin, run the 5-step setup wizard, and you’re done. Lead Source auto-detects your form plugins — no form editing required.

Leads Come In With Source Data

When someone submits a form, Lead Source captures the traffic source, UTM parameters, click IDs, landing page, and referrer — automatically.

See What’s Working

Open your WordPress dashboard and see every lead alongside its source. Colour-coded badges show you at a glance whether it came from Google Ads, Meta, organic search, or anywhere else.

Everything You Need to Track Lead Sources on a WordPress Website

Automatic UTM Tracking

Captures utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, and utm_content from every visitor — stored in a cookie until they submit a form.

5 Ad Platforms Detected

Automatically identifies clicks from Google Ads, Meta (Facebook & Instagram), Microsoft Ads (Bing), LinkedIn and TikTok using their unique click IDs.

Works With Your Forms

Hooks directly into your existing form plugin — no shortcodes, no hidden fields, no form editing. Just install and it works.

Email Notifications

Get an email every time a lead comes in — complete with their name, message, and source data. Plus optional daily, weekly or monthly summary emails. All included, free.

Organic, Referral & Direct Detection

No UTMs or click IDs? Lead Source reads the referrer and labels the lead Organic – Google (or Bing, DuckDuckGo…), Referral – the site that sent them, or Direct.

Privacy-First Design

All data stays in your WordPress database. No external tracking, no data sent to third parties. IP addresses are automatically anonymised. GDPR-friendly by design.

Works With the Form Plugins You Already Use

Lead Source integrates automatically with the most popular WordPress form plugins. No shortcodes, no hidden fields — just install and it works.
