Parameters
| Parameter | Example | What it does |
|---|---|---|
address | ?address=412 Sample Ridge Ct, Roseville, CA | Fills in the address box. The homeowner still picks and confirms the house. Up to 200 characters. |
service | ?service=gutters | Opens the widget on one trade. Ignored if the widget doesn't offer that trade. Values: gutters, painting, siding, roofing, lighting, holiday, washing, fascia. |
utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content | ?utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=spring | Saved with the lead under utm. Up to 300 characters each. |
gclid, gbraid, wbraid, fbclid, msclkid | ?gclid=abc123 | Ad click IDs, saved with the lead under utm. |
ref | Set by the embed code | The page the widget was on, saved as utm.referrer. Without it, the browser's referrer is used. |
URL-encode values, as browsers do for links. Unknown parameters are ignored. Colors, questions and prices come from the widget's settings, not the URL.
Ad tracking
The embed code copies these parameters from your page's address into the widget, so an ad that lands on your quote page is credited to the lead with no extra work. With a plain link, add them to the link yourself:
