Best Practices for Adding a Domain to RB2B

Updated this week

Adding the right domains to your Script page is essential for collecting accurate visitor data. This guide will help you understand how domain rules work and how to set them up correctly.

How Domain Matching Works

RB2B uses domain-based rules to decide where your tracking script runs. Here's how it behaves:

  • Entering rb2b.com will allow the script to run on:

    • rb2b.com

    • www.rb2b.com

    • support.rb2b.com

    • Any subdomain of rb2b.com

  • Entering support.rb2b.com will limit the script to just:

    • support.rb2b.com only

    • It will not run on www.rb2b.com or rb2b.com

Think of it like this:

  • Top-level domains = broad coverage

  • Subdomains = specific targeting

Best Practices for Adding a Domain

Follow these tips to make sure you're tracking all the pages you care about:

1. Use the Root Domain When Possible

If your goal is to track your whole site and any subdomains, enter just the root domain.

Recommended:
yourcompany.com

This will track:

  • yourcompany.com

  • www.yourcompany.com

  • blog.yourcompany.com

  • support.yourcompany.com

  • ...and any other subdomains

2. Use a Specific Subdomain Only When Needed

If you only want to run the script on one part of your site (like your help center), enter that full subdomain.

Example:
support.yourcompany.com


(This will not run on your main site or other subdomains.)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake

What Happens

Fix

Adding support.yourcompany.com when you want full coverage

Script only runs on support subdomain

Use yourcompany.com instead

Only adding www.yourcompany.com

Script won’t run on yourcompany.com or other subs

Use yourcompany.com instead

Final Tip: Keep It Broad Unless You Have a Specific Reason

Unless you have a reason to restrict tracking to a very specific part of your site, use the broadest version of your domain to maximize coverage.
