How do I pass in Google keywords or other ad keywords into Lucky Orange?

Google and other search engines are phasing out keyword data

Google has been gradually phasing out sending keyword data to websites. Previously the keywords people searched for were passed to your website in the web browser's referrer. Google started phasing out passing that data if someone was logged in to Google and using their secure search and clicked on an Organic link. If the user came from a PPC (Pay Per Click) link then Google still sends the keyword data.

It's affecting all 3rd party analytics services

Originally, this was affecting a small percent of users. More recently, this percentage has grown and now, is even affecting Google PPC Keyword data. This is affecting ALL analytics tools and not just Lucky Orange.

What to do about this?

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about this with regards to Organic Search keywords. We'll only be able to tell you that a visitor came from Google, but not the keywords they used. Again, this affects all 3rd party analytics services regarding Google traffic.
