Web Analytics

Information super highstreet…

Geography 101

Which begs the question… Should they spend money on localising their website?

These guys did… “ While we're on the subject of international adventures, it should be noted that Twitter has officially launched in Japan. We noticed a significant percent of Twitter usage consistently originating from Japan despite the fact that our service is in English . This highlighted an opportunity for us to make Twitter better so we worked with our partner in Japan, Digital Garage to launch a Japanese version of Twitter”. Biz Stone

Web analytics is…
Four Goals

Make web design decisions based on data , not hunches (or pressure)
Improve your website (remove barriers)
Improve conversions and sales

Removing obstacles

Why web analytics?
Back to our four goals :
Better understand our users
Make web design decisions based on data, not hunches (or pressure)

Improve conversions and sales

Implementing analytics

The challenge of web analytics
Identify the metrics that matter
Ignore the ones that don't
Use metrics that are actionable – that lead to making a change

Goals
Multiple KPIs
What’s important to them?
How would they define a successful visit?
Stickiness, good or bad?

Data-democracy: metrics that matter
Access to data they want & need
Digestible data
Regular data, so they can see the value of their decisions

Access

Digestible data: visualisation
