Source and Medium dimension values

The 'Source' and 'Medium' dimensions tell us where website visitors are coming from. Here's how we figure them out:

Using URL Parameters: When someone lands on your site, we first look for 'utm_source' and 'utm_medium' parameters in the URL they came from. If these parameters exist, we use their values for 'Source' and 'Medium'. If they're not there, we look at the name of the advertising platform (like Google Ads or Facebook Ads) and use that as the 'Source', with 'cpc' (cost-per-click) as the 'Medium'.
Google Traffic: If the link contains parameters like gclid, wbraid, or gbraid, indicating traffic from Google, we set 'Source' to 'google' and 'Medium' to 'cpc'.
Organic Search: When visitors come from a search engine's unpaid (organic) results, we record the search engine's domain as the 'Source' (e.g., google.com) and mark the 'Medium' as 'organic'.
Referral Traffic: If they come from another website, we use that website's domain as the 'Source' and mark the 'Medium' as 'referral'.
Direct Visits: If visitors directly type your website's URL into their browser, or if we can't identify where they came from, both 'Source' and 'Medium' are labeled as '(direct)' and '(none)', respectively.

This helps us understand where your website traffic is coming from and how they found you.
