## Real Attribution. Real Improvement.

EEK runs Facebook ad campaigns targeting location-specific misfuel audiences — ads that link to the relevant EEK location page. Without source attribution, a visitor who clicks through from a Facebook ad looks identical to an organic search visitor. EEK built a gate on location pages for Facebook ad traffic: visitors arriving via these links are asked to confirm their source before proceeding to the full page content.

This single-question gate takes two seconds and provides data that is meaningfully more accurate than UTM parameters alone: it confirms intentional, human engagement with the ad rather than an accidental click or bot traffic.

## For Customers Who Come Through These Ads

The gate is lightweight and unobtrusive. Visitors are not asked for personal details — simply to confirm how they found the page. For genuine visitors who clicked a Facebook ad because they have a misfuel problem, the two-second gate is not a barrier. For EEK's marketing team, the attribution data it produces is the difference between knowing which campaigns are working and guessing.
