Key questions
customer
journey profile
What do they buy?
Who visits and buys
from the site?
How are they using
the site?
Why do they visit the
site?

Core data relating to CX
• Web Analytics – the what
• Detailed traffic measurement tool showing volume of traffic across your digital
real-estate.
• Customer Relationship Management (CRM) – the who
• A database with details of who your customers are, what they have bought,
and their communication preferences.
• Voice of Customer (VoC) / Surveys – the why
• Responses to online or market research questionnaires. Typically run by
external agencies and hosted via an external tool.

Survey approach
site experience
visit intention
outcome versus
intention
entry survey exit survey
expectations delivery against
expectation
visit profile
visitor profile

What people say vs what they actually do...
Over a third of people say that they intend to
buy something
Conversion rates are in the normal range
People say that they are going to visit 2.5
categories on average
On average they visit 1
Say Do
Nearly half of people say that they are likely
or very likely to use the search function
Less than 20% of visits have a search in
them

Customer Experience
• Do you know who your customers are?
• Do you listen to them?
• Do you know what they think of you?
• Are changes to your web site driven by people within the
business rather than by the people that actually pay them – the
customer?
Ultimately, it’s best to try and avoid…

Most people don’t like bad experiences

CONVERSIONS

STRATEGIES
Acquisition & Conversion
USABILITY

“I got there in the end but it was a
struggle. Probably best try
www.acme.com”
…not what I
expected
I’ll try another site
This is a nightmare!
Grrr, where’s the
phone?
What a load of
b*ll**ks!!

Optimising Processes – survey first
• Ask about reasons for visiting, i.e. task intent.
• Trigger survey at the end of key processes, e.g. purchase or
registration.
• Capture trigger URLs and web analytics visitor cookie values.
• Segment survey data based on visitors failing to complete their task
and then review their comments
• Use web analytics data to confirm traffic volumes for trigger URLs – this
will allow you to scale the issue

Optimising Processes – analytics first
• Use web analytic data to find process steps with significant drop-out
• Segment out visitors that start process, but fail to complete.
• Cross-reference visitor IDs with survey data to see if any visitors had
left feedback
• Use feedback to help isolate the problem

The Peak End Rule
• Proposed by Barbara Fredrickson and Daniel Kahneman
• Theory states that people remember the most intensely felt moments
of an experience and the feelings at end
• Understanding how your customers are feeling at the end of a
process is very powerful

Peak End Rule

Experience

Getting started…

Getting started
• Basic
• Simply show VoC alongside web analytic reports
and basic demographics from CRM
• The mid-point (correlate)
• Overlay key VoC metrics, e.g. recommendation,
with key web analytics data, e.g. orders
• The goal (associate)
• Fully integrated customer feedback covering a
range of data sources

Integrating CRM & Analytics
• Many Analytics providers can now do this ‘out of the box’, e.g. Adobe’s
(Omniture) Genesis platform
• Common approaches are to:
• Capture a user ID when a user logs into the site based on their CRM record,
which can then be used to link their clickstream data with their CRM record
• Selectively write out details of the user’s CRM record to the web site, allowing
these data to be captured in the web analytics tool as custom fields, e.g.
Gender, Age, job role, etc.
• Make sure you’re completely transparent with your users as to how you
store and use their personal data – do not breach their trust!

Integrating VoC & Analytics
• Many VoC providers now offer Google Analytics integration ‘out of the
box’ and some support other vendors as well
• I’ve personally worked with eDigitalResearch, OpinionLabs,
SurveyMonkey, SurveyGizmo, and Cvent
• Many of the above, simply require you to give them your tracking
details and they can then pass back survey response data into your
web analytics.
• Alternatively, you can pass a user ID over to the survey, and so long as
the survey provider allows you to export raw response level data you
can then integrate with your web analytics at a later point.

Example Survey capture
Web site feedback
We’d love to here your thoughts on how we can
improve our site
Yes | No
Site Survey
1. Which of the following best describes your reasons
for visiting the site today:
• [Drop-down of key tasks]
2. Where you able to complete this?
• [Drop-down: Yes, Partially, No]
3. How easy did you find it?
• [Single select on scale 0-10]
4. Would you recommend this site to your family and
friends?
• [Single select on scale 0-10]
5. Any other comments?
• [Text box]

Example data capture – Google Analytics
<script>
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']);
_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'analyt.co.uk']);
_gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',1, ’Task Intent', ’Buy fireplace', 2]);
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',2, 'Task Completion', ’yes', 2]);
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',3, 'Recommendation', 9, 2]);
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',4, 'Easy Score', 7, 2]);
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',5, ’Comments', ’great site', 1]);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
Initial Google Analytics variables
• setAccount = defined the profile to send the data to
• setDomainName = sets the scope of the cookie
• setAllowLinker = allows GA to work across multiple
domains
Sets Google Analytics custom variables
• Using all 5 ‘free’ custom variables (Premium has 50)
• Task Intent, Completion, Recommendation, and
Easy Score all set to whole visit
• Other possible items of interest: Gender, page
ratings, etc.

Example…

Exercise…

Exercise (30 mins)
• In groups of 4… (10 mins)
• Choose a site you all know
• What does ‘good’ look like for them?
• What might they want to measure?
• What would an ideal blend of CRM + VoC + Analytics?
• How would you present it back to the business? To an executive audience/
You’ll then present back to the group for discussion (20 mins)

Bring it all together…

Bring it all together
• Use your web analytics tool as a hub for much of your analysis
• You CRM tool can act as the hub for acting on the data, for example pushing
updated email lists to your email provider
• Create a measurement framework about what ‘good’ looks like for your site.
Capture these events as success goals and associate these successes with
the users CRM record. Equally, make sure that you capture pain points so
you can proactively resolve them.
• Publish key demographic details from your CRM or VoC responses back to
your site so that these can be tracked in your analytics. Ideally, do this via a
non-PII ID stored in a cookie, to allow multi-visit analysis.
