Intro intro

Analyze your web analytics from a B2B perspective by viewing organization, industry and Marketo Real-Time Personalization (RTP) campaign data within your Adobe Analytics account.

This document enables the integration between Marketo Real-Time Personalization (RTP) and Adobe Adobe Analytics. Data from RTP will allow you to detect and analyze trends in all industry segments and organizations visiting your site and measure the effectiveness of your RTP campaigns, providing the insights and analysis to gain optimal results.

You can achieve this by looking at metrics such as the numbers of new versus returning visitors in each segment, analyzing click rates on campaigns, and discovering which industries and customized segments and real-time campaigns generated the best converting leads. Leverage this ability to gain the maximum benefit from your RTP account.
