Lead Scoring Basics
Why you should incorporate PathFactory Engagement Data into your Pardot Lead Scoring Model
PathFactory accurately measures a visitor’s level of engagement by recording the amount of time a visitor spends on each content asset in a Content Track, and by identifying binge behavior of visitors (ie. consuming multiple assets during a single session).
This stands in clear contrast to the traditional baseline metrics that MAPs use to measure engagement: email opens, clicks, and webpage visits.
A Lead Scoring Model based on these limited metrics means that a visitor who opens an email link and leaves the content right away will get the same score as a visitor who also opens an email link but spends minutes with your content.
Incorporating PathFactory data into your Lead Scoring Model means you are getting a more accurate measure of which contacts are actually moving through the funnel.
Using PathFactory Data in your Pardot Lead Scoring Model
- Create a new numeric field called PathFactory Cumulative Score.
Create Custom Field menu - Create a list to temporarily store PathFactory visitor session webhook form submissions.Folder storage
- Update the PathFactory visitor session webhook form to include the completion action of Add to list and select the previously created list Add to List option
- Create a program to accumulate a contact’s score when they engage with any asset.
- Set the Recipient List to a the list used by the webhook form
- Enable Allow prospects to enter program more than once
- Set Days before eligible to reenter to 1
- Set Limit Program entries? to No, allow unlimited entries No, Allow Unlimited Entries radio button
- Repeat the following substeps until the branches for Content Count Time Threshold Met reaches 5 (or whatever value you deem reasonable).
- Create your first branch with a Rule that evaluates if the Prospect Custom Field: PathFactory Content Count Threshold Met is 1 Prospect Custom Field
- If yes, add an Action step to Change Prospect Field Value: PathFactory Cumulative Score increment by 5 points Change Prospect Field Value
- If no, add a Rule that evaluates if the Prospect Custom Field: PathFactory Content Count Threshold Met is 2
Note: Increase the score awarded as the value of PathFactory Content Count Threshold Met increases. For example if Content Count Time Threshold Met is 2, increment by 10 points
- Prior to the End step, add the Action step to Remove from list for Recipient list. This will prevent the prospect from re-entering the program again until they have visited a PathFactory track or asset again. Immediately radio button
