WPDKI Pro facilitates the insertion of ad keywords and Ad visitor real locations into your landing pages directly from your Google ad campaigns. By leveraging Google ValueTrack parameters, you can dynamically display personalized content tailored to each visitor’s location and search intent. Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting started and optimizing your ad landing pages for better results.

3. Shortcodes for Displaying Ad Visitor’s Information on Landingpage

WPDKI Pro provides shortcodes to display dynamic values on your landingpages. These shortcodes allow you to personalize content based on the Ad visitor’s searched keyword or physical/intrest location.

{location}: Displays the Ad visitor’s location.
{location target_type=City}: Display the Ad visitor’s city.
{location target_type=State}: Displays the Ad visitor’s state.
{location target_type=Country}: Displays the Ad visitor’s country.

Example:

<h1>Pet shops in {location}</h1>
<h3>Best places to visit in {location target_type=Country}</h3>

This will dynamically replace the shortcode with the location.

4. Setup Google Ads ValueTrack Parameters

For personalized landingpages, use Google Ads ValueTrack parameters in your URL or tracking template.

Recommended ValueTrack Parameters:

5. Customize Dynamic Parameters for Final URL (if needed)

By default, WPDKI Pro uses location & dyn_keyword in its keyword settings. However, you can customize them to meet your campaign needs:

Steps to Customize:

  • Navigate to Keyword Settings in WPDKI Pro.
