What is the Visitor Counting Rule?

Visitor count for Scarcity notifications

The Visitor Counting Rule is a rule that applies to our Scarcity notifications. These notifications show how many people visit a certain page, adding Social Proof to you website.

Convertize will track the number of visits to the page you add Scarcity notifications to. It then displays the number of people who have visited within a certain time period.

Count all visitors

By default, the platform will count all visitors to the page, regardless of how they arrived there. For example, if you have applied Scarcity notifications to a page with the following URL: www.yourwebsite.com/product1

The Scarcity notification will count visitors from each of:

• www.yourwebsite.com/product1
• www.yourwebsite.com/product1?utm_source=mailchimp&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=promo13
• www.yourwebsite.com/product1?utm_source=facebook

All traffic landing on a page contributes to the value displayed on the Scarcity notification.

Count query parameters separately

Would you like each visitor to be counted according to their parameters (usually the link they clicked on to arrive there)? Tick the box titled ‘Count query parameters separately’ in the Scarcity notification setup.
