Editor's Notes
- Having worked with businesses in a lot of different industry verticals, I can confidently say that analytics is important to everyone and needs to be tailored to each business.
- This framework is not my own, rather it is a reframing of AvinashKaushik’s Acquisition Behavior and Outcomes, which is more accurate, but I substitute the word conversion as it is the desired outcome, and a bit easier to remember the “ABCs.”Benefit of Custom Reports is that you’ll be able to see a fuller view of your data in one place. Two types – explorer or flat table. I almost always use the explorer because I can drill down into my data.In this presentation, please pay particular attention to these custom reports and use them as a blue print for building your own.
- Including all three ABCs in your reports allows for efficient data analysis.We’re going to spend some time talking about macro conversions and micro conversions.Macro conversions for ecommerce would be view a receipt page.Micro conversions – newsletter signup, online chat, add to cart, social share, phone call, whitepaper download.
- This is what the macro conversion tab looks like in the actual report.In the drill down example in the bottom left I included Matched search query. At this time, Adwords cost data is not available for search queries, so you’ll need to just focus on performance metrics.
- This is really important for SEO Agencies. Organic traffic levels YoY are going to look like they are falling, but they might not be in reality.
- Of course, additional segmentation for branded vs. non-branded terms is necessary hereBut I believe if you look at this data in your own accounts you’ll see huge differences in CTRs between Top and RHS.
- Sorted by ROILooking for LOW CTR and HIGH impressionsNotice the filter – this because some campaigns had very low volume but 1 or 2 transactions kicked up their ROI.
- There really are some metrics that matter here. CPA, ROI, Per Visit Value.
- Take a look at the landing page. Oftentimes, advertisers make really poor choices about what page a person lands on. Also, keep any eye on the outcomes. Just because someone doesn’t bounce and they look at 2 or 3 pages on your site, doesn’t mean they are interested or engaged. They might just be lost.Highlighted are two problematic campaigns.
- I switched the position of the primary and secondary dimensions so that it would be easier to see the Per Visit Value.
- Action Items -> Check days to purchase using multi channel funnels. Drill down in a custom report from Day of Week into Days since last visit and then apply a Visits with Transactions advanced segment.It is possible to do pan-session analysis in GA even without Universal Analytics. This is just a taste of things to come.
