When we're creating landing pages, we always test the entire flow/mechanics to make sure all connected assets are working properly e.g. workflow, form leading to the right thank you page, etc.
I already excluded my home and office IP address and also all of our agencies' IP adderesses to analytics, but somehow, the LP still captures my submissions submitted from my office.
So would be great if there's a way to remove internal submissions to make sure the analytics report the clean data. Or perhaps a way to reset analytics post testing.
A workaround I'm thinking right now would be to clone the landing page once it passed the QA but then I realized, all "connected assets" won't be working. Besides, cloning will also give a room for human error again.
Use +skipform@hubspot.com in the email address (the other fields don't matter), it won't register the conversion, and you'll be able to test what happens when the form is submitted.
@bendonahower It would work only for submissions. What about pageviews?
I wonder if this is something that will ever happen. Testing always messes up all my metrics and dashboards; technically, it shouldn't be super hard to implement for Hubspot - and not doing testing is not an option.
Agree this should be an option for landing pages, such as "Reset page analytics".
There is a workaround though:
When the page is completed and ready for launch, clone the page. Then go back to the original page and copy the URL to your clipboard, then edit the URL to be something random and update the page.
Now go to your NEW cloned page and edit the URL, copying from your clipboard, replacing the URL with the one you were using on the original page, and which will be your final live URL. Save/update the page.
This basically replaces your "test" page with a new cloned version that has the same URL but has all fresh analytics.
