Separate real scans from Bot traffic

Crawlers, link preview tools, security scanners, and uptime monitors all fetch the destination URL behind a QR Code, and every fetch lands in your scan count. Scanova identifies that automated traffic by device type and flags it as Bot, so switching on Exclude Bot traffic under Analytics, then Filters, leaves every breakdown — date, location, device, and OS — reporting human scans only.

Conversion Tracking measures the scan itself and what scanners do after they visit your page. There is also a value and currency attached so that each code can be ranked by the value it brought. With its funnel analysis, you can also see on a graph where people drop out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get quick answers related to Scanova’s trackable QR Codes

How can I track the performance of my QR Codes?

Scanova QR Code Generator with tracking feature helps you track the performance of your codes. You can track your QR Codes by monitoring metrics such as the number of scans, scan locations, device types, and engagement rates through detailed analytics. Additionally, with UTM parameters, you can also track the exact source, medium, and campaign details of your QR Code traffic in analytics platforms like Google Analytics, enabling deeper insights into which channels and campaigns are driving results.

How does GPS tracking work with QR Code scans?

With user permission, you can access the exact GPS location of each scanning device. This feature allows for precise location tracking of user interactions.

Is it possible to export my QR Code scan data?

Yes, you can export both aggregate and detailed scan-level data in CSV or Excel formats for efficient analysis and reporting.

Can I track user engagement on my landing pages using QR Codes?

Yes. You can monitor clicks and engagement rates for actionable elements like buttons on various landing pages—including custom pages, product pages, business card profiles, and social media links.

How will I receive analytics updates about my QR Codes?

You can set up regular reports to be sent directly to your email inbox, providing you with timely insights for informed decision-making and strategic planning. You can select an email frequency of your choice daily, once a week, or once a month.

Why are my QR Code scans higher than expected?

Some of those scans are almost certainly Bots. Search engine crawlers, link preview tools, security scanners, and uptime monitors fetch your QR Code's destination URL and register as scans. Turn on Exclude Bot traffic under Analytics, then Filters, to see human scans only.

How is QR Code Health Center different from analytics?

Analytics tells you how your QR Codes are performing. Health Center tells you whether they are working at all. It uses scan volume to rank which problems affect the most traffic.

Can I see analytics for a group of QR Codes together?

You can see analytics for a group of QR Codes together using Scanova's folders feature. Put the QR Codes in a folder, then open View Analytics from that folder to see the whole group's scan data in one report. Folders are available on the Pro Plan and above.
