  • Is my Social Media having a positive impact?
  • Are website visitors encountering errors that prevent them from completing a form?
  • What page(s) do my visitors like most/least?
  • Why are my customer service agents getting calls about the website?

Google Analytics Tips

  1. Ensure it’s setup accurately – Far too often we find Google Analytics not implemented correctly or, worse… no web analytics setup on a site at all.
  2. Goals, goals, goals Goals in Google Analytics are a powerful tool in any marketer’s tool box. If you have an online store you can use Google Analytics to measure sales, shopping cart abandonment and more. If your a company is interested in leads, Google Analytics can tell you how well your latest lead nurturing campaign is working.
  3. Experiment: setup duplicate views within an account If you are going to make the most of your analytics you are going to want to experiment. The thing about experimenting is that you don’t want to do it with the single version of the data that is in your account. Making a duplicate view allows you to experiment on the copy and leave the original data untouched.
