Best practices
Get clean, useful numbers
A little setup makes your analytics much easier to read.
- Create a separate QR code for each placement you want to compare
- Name codes clearly, e.g. “Menu, patio tables”
- Compare like-for-like time periods
- Use unique scans to estimate reach
- Treat location as approximate, never exact
Good to know
Location is estimated from the scanning device’s IP address and is approximate.
Analytics are private to your account. Only you can see your scan data.
