+##  Adding query strings to CTAs headed to about.gitlab.com/pricing
+
+We've created [a Sisense dashboard that can only be seen by full-time team members](https://app.periscopedata.com/app/gitlab/950797/GitLab.com-SaaS-trials---no-SAFE-data)
+to track the number of SaaS free trials that start from a documentation page.
+
+If you would like to track that information, add the following parameters to the URL:
+
+- `glm_source` is `docs.gitlab.com`
+- `glm_content` set to anything that ends with `-docs`
+
+### Example: 
+
+`https://about.gitlab.com/pricing?=glm_source=docs.gitlab.com&glm_content=name-of-item-docs`
