Common questions about Analytics

Which referral metrics should I watch first?

Start with referrer signups, shares, leads, qualified referrals, and reward outcomes. Together, these metrics show whether people are joining the program, sharing it, and generating leads that actually convert.

Can I track referrals outside Referral Factory?

Yes. Many teams combine Referral Factory reporting with CRM data, UTM parameters, tracking pixels, or analytics tools. The important part is preserving referral source and campaign context as leads move through your funnel.

How do I know where my referral program is underperforming?

Look at the funnel step where the drop-off happens. Low referrer signup suggests promotion or offer issues, low sharing suggests friction or weak motivation, and low qualification suggests the referred audience or conversion path needs work.

How often should I review referral performance?

Review early campaigns weekly until the main conversion path is stable. After that, a monthly review is usually enough to compare channels, reward costs, qualified referrals, and changes you want to test.
