The gap

Close knows the opportunity was won. It does not know which ad started it.

Close reporting is accurate about everything that happens inside Close, and it starts the moment a Lead exists. The clicks before that, and the signal back to the ad platforms, are the part nobody ships for you.

Close reporting on its own

Accurate about what the team does, blind to how the lead arrived

  • The lead source is a custom field. It holds whatever a form integration or a rep put there, usually one value per Lead.
  • Reports count activities and opportunities: calls made, emails sent, pipeline by status. None of them knows which campaign or ad produced the Lead.
  • The anonymous visits before the form was submitted never reach Close, so the first click that started the journey is invisible.
  • No ad spend enters Close, so ROAS and cost per won opportunity cannot be calculated inside it.
  • Organic search, referral and AI search visitors arrive as Leads with an empty or generic source.
  • A rep works the Lead through calls and sequences and changes its status, but nothing ties that status back to the click that created it.
  • Nothing travels back to Meta, Google or LinkedIn, so the algorithms optimise on form fills rather than on the opportunities your team wins.

Close with LeadJourney

One journey per Lead, joined to spend and to won revenue

  • Every touchpoint is captured server-side as it happens, before a Close Lead exists.
  • The anonymous first click is stitched to the Lead the moment the form is submitted or the call is booked.
  • Spend is pulled from your ad accounts automatically, so ROAS and cost per won opportunity are live at 95%+ accuracy.
  • Organic, direct, referral and AI search are tracked as first class channels next to paid, so no Lead arrives with an empty source.
  • First touch, last touch, campaign and ad land as fields on the Lead, Contact and Opportunity, so reps see the source in the record they call from.
  • Status changes and won opportunities are read back out of Close as they happen, however many calls it took to get there.
  • Won opportunities go back to the ad platforms as offline conversions, with the opportunity value attached.

Every touchpoint

The whole journey into Close, and the closed deal back to the ads

Marketing sees every touch before and after Close, sales sees the source on the record it already opens, and when the deal is won the amount goes back to the platform.

See every journey in LeadJourney

The dashboard marketing runs on

  • Every touchpoint of every lead in one timeline, from the first anonymous click to the deal Close marks won.
  • First touch, last touch and every model in between, so a LinkedIn first click and a Google brand-search close are one journey, not two leads.
  • Filter any campaign, ad or landing page to the leads it produced and the opportunity status each one reached.
  • The same journey written onto the Lead and the Opportunity in Close, so your team sees where a lead came from before the first call.

Send it back to the ad platforms

Where the bidding learns from revenue

  • A deal Close marks won becomes a conversion on Meta, Google Ads, LinkedIn and Microsoft, matched on the click ID captured at the first visit.
  • The opportunity value travels with the event, so value based bidding optimises on revenue rather than on form fills.
  • You choose which stages go back: qualified lead, opportunity, won, or all three.
  • Sent server to server, so there is nothing for an ad blocker or a declined cookie banner to remove.

How it works

Close CRM attribution: pipeline data in, attributed revenue back out

Both directions run on their own once connected: one makes attribution possible, the other puts the answer in the record your reps call from.

  1. 1

    Pull your Close pipeline into LeadJourney

    Your CRM data meets the marketing data it was always missing.

    Close

    LeadJourney reads your Leads, Contacts and Opportunities, with lead status, pipeline stage, value and the date won.

    MetaGoogle AdsLinkedIn AdsYour website

    Ad clicks, spend, sessions, forms and click IDs are tracked server-side across paid, organic and AI search.

    LeadJourney joins the two into one journey per Lead, from the first anonymous click through every call to the opportunity Close marked won.

    Attributed revenue, ROAS and cost per won opportunity, per channel, campaign and ad.

  2. 2

    Push the attribution back to Close

    So nobody has to open a second tool to answer where an opportunity came from.

    LeadJourney writes the finished attribution back onto the Close record, only into the fields you mapped.

    Close

    First touch, last touch, campaign, ad and click ID land as custom fields on the Lead, Contact and Opportunity.

    Smart Views and reports filter on them like any other field, so a view of Leads from one campaign is a saved filter rather than a data project.

    Reps see where the Lead came from before they dial, and prioritise the campaigns that produce opportunities that win.

The return path

Won Close opportunities, back in the ad account that earned them

A form fill is not a result. Once Close marks an opportunity won, the amount goes back to the platform that produced the click.

  • MetaConversions API

    Qualified lead, opportunity created and opportunity won, with value and currency

  • Google AdsOffline conversion import

    Conversions matched on gclid, with the opportunity value for value based bidding

  • LinkedIn AdsConversions API

    Status changes and won revenue matched on li_fat_id

You choose what counts as a conversion

Map any Close lead status or opportunity stage to any platform event. Qualified, demo completed, opportunity won, or all three.

Value based bidding gets a real value

The opportunity value travels with the event, so tROAS strategies optimise on pipeline instead of a flat lead value.

Sent server to server

No pixel to fire, nothing for an ad blocker or a declined cookie banner to remove.

Reporting

The questions your Close reports cannot answer yet

Every one of these is a report in LeadJourney rather than a data project. Close stays the source of truth for the pipeline, and LeadJourney supplies the source that produced it.

  • Which campaign produced the opportunities we won last quarter, not just the leads that got a call?

  • What did a won opportunity actually cost us in ad spend?

  • Which channel starts our biggest opportunities, even when a different one closes them?

  • How much revenue came from ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini last month?

  • Which landing page produces the leads that reach a completed demo?

  • Which campaigns are buying leads our reps mark as bad fit?

LeadJourney and Close reporting

Where Close reporting ends and LeadJourney starts

Close reports on what happens inside Close: activity per rep, opportunities by status, the funnel from lead to won. All of it starts once a Lead exists.

  • 5 out of 5 starsGoogle

    Before LeadJourney, we had no reliable tracking concept for our five-figure ad spend. We were manually building spreadsheet and CRM reports, inaccurate and time-consuming. Within two days, everything was set up. For the first time, I know exactly what I pay per lead and which campaigns actually bring in the best-qualified prospects.

    Florian BuckCEO, Klickkraft GmbH
  • With LeadJourney we are able to track all our leads and connect them with sales and attribution data to make better decisions. In the first month of using it we scaled from 0 to 100k revenue from paid ads only.

    LeadJourney finally fixed my Marketing Analytics. It goes way beyond basic Ad Tracking Software. The Customer Journey Report saves hours of digging, and capturing everything from Offline Conversions to AI Search Tracking makes it the Best B2B Attribution Platform available.

    With LeadJourney, we have finally found a tool that provides us with the data we need to scale our performance marketing campaigns. The most important KPI is no longer lead price but cost per qualified lead.

FAQ

What sales leaders on Close ask before connecting

If yours is not here, our team answers in the chat within a few minutes.

How is Close CRM attribution with LeadJourney different from the source field we already have?

A source field holds one value that a form integration or a rep put there once. LeadJourney produces the touchpoints in the first place: it tracks the anonymous first click, the organic and AI search sessions and the click IDs, joins them to spend from your ad accounts, follows the Lead through every call and status change, and writes the result onto the Close record. Your source field can stay exactly as it is.

Which Close objects and fields does LeadJourney write to?

Custom fields on Leads, Contacts and Opportunities. On the Lead and Contact: first and last touch channel, source and campaign, the ad and creative, the UTM parameters and click IDs, the landing page and a link to the full journey. On the Opportunity: the attributed channel and campaign, the credit each touchpoint earned under your active model and the ad spend attributed to the opportunity. You choose which of those are in scope before anything is written.

Will it overwrite the source field my reps already use?

No. Nothing is written to a field you have not mapped, and the direction of every mapping is yours to set. Most teams write attribution to a dedicated set of LeadJourney fields and leave their existing source field untouched, so historic reporting stays comparable.

Does it work with our pipelines, lead statuses and custom fields?

Yes. LeadJourney reads your own lead statuses and pipeline stages by name rather than a fixed list, so a pipeline per product line or a status called Demo completed works as it is. Custom fields on Leads, Contacts and Opportunities can be read and written, and you decide which ones.

Can I send won opportunities back to Meta and Google?

Yes, and it is the point of the integration. Won opportunities are sent to Meta through the Conversions API, to Google Ads as an offline conversion import matched on gclid, to LinkedIn through the Conversions API and to Microsoft Ads matched on msclkid, with the opportunity value attached so value based bidding has a real number to optimise against. Any earlier status, such as Qualified, can go back as its own event.

A Lead takes a dozen calls over two months before it becomes a won opportunity. Is it still attributed?

Yes. The journey in LeadJourney has no attribution window, so the won opportunity is credited to the campaign and ad that started it however long the sales cycle ran and however many calls and sequences it took. The ad platforms apply their own windows to the events they receive, so late wins mainly improve optimisation there; the report that matches revenue to the ad lives in LeadJourney.

How often does the data sync?

Both directions run continuously rather than as a nightly batch: tracked touchpoints reach Close as Leads arrive, and status changes leave Close for your ad platforms as they happen. Transparent Logs show every record, so you can see exactly what moved and when.

Do I need a developer?

No. Connecting Close is a sign in and a field mapping screen, and most accounts are live in about 21 minutes. Whoever administers your Close account is useful for deciding which fields to expose, and our team will do the mapping with you on a call if you prefer.

Is the Close sync GDPR compliant?

Yes. Data is processed and stored in the EU, we sign a data processing agreement, and tracking runs first-party and server-side so it respects consent decisions rather than working around them. Identifiers sent to the ad platforms are hashed before they leave.

What does it cost?

The Close integration is part of the platform rather than a paid add on. Plans are priced on tracked events instead of seats, so your whole sales team and your agency can share one workspace, and every plan starts with a 14 day free trial without a credit card.
