How to Interpret Scan Analytics Data

High Scans, Low Engagement

Your QR code is well-placed and noticed, but your landing page isn't compelling. Improve content relevance, page speed, or offer clarity.

Increasing Return Rate

Users find your content valuable enough to come back. Consider adding exclusive content, loyalty rewards, or regular updates.

Device Concentration

If 80%+ scans come from one device type, ensure your landing page is perfectly optimized for that specific platform.

Peak Time Patterns

Consistent peak times indicate when your audience is most receptive. Schedule promotional campaigns during these windows.
