The four most common tasks to set up

Manage Profiles Filters Tagging Links Goals and Funnels

Once these are in place you will get comprehensive data about your web

traffic

Page 19: Google Analytics, IRUN Business Intelligence workshop

Managing Profiles

A website profile is a set of rules that correspond to a domain and it will define the reports that you see.

You can also use profiles to track sub-domains, or different sections of your site – you set up multiple profiles with filters to get the data you want

Advantages are you can filter and segment data depending on your needs

Page 20: Google Analytics, IRUN Business Intelligence workshop

Setting up Filters

Filters are applied to the information coming into your account, to manipulate the final data in order to provide accurate reports.

E.g remove the traffic from your company

Page 21: Google Analytics, IRUN Business Intelligence workshop

Tagging Links

Tagging your online ads is an important prerequisite to allowing Google Analytics to show you which marketing activities are really paying off.

You don’t need to tag Google Adwords – as long as auto tagging is enabled this will be sorted for you

However you might want to tag other ad campaigns such as banner ads or perhaps an email campaign

Page 22: Google Analytics, IRUN Business Intelligence workshop

Goals and Funnels

A goal is a way to measure your business objectives, the funnel is the path a visitor takes to get there.

You can have a maximum of 4 goals per profile

A typical goal would be – a thank you page, purchase confirmation page

Defining the funnel pages allows you to see how frequently visitors abandon goals, and where they go

Page 23: Google Analytics, IRUN Business Intelligence workshop

Customer Journey Tracking – defining your funnel

Landing Pages– not always your ‘home page’

Funnel Path– the specific route you expect visitors to take

Money Page- opportunity for visitor goal completion

Goal Completion- Confirmation / thank you pages

Page 24: Google Analytics, IRUN Business Intelligence workshop

Conversion Tracking…

Conversion occurs when a click on an Adword ad leads to an visitor action you have determined to be of value e.g. Purchase, sign-up, page view

Cookies are used to track the connection between the Adwords ad and the conversion page. When a match is made, Google records a successful conversion for you.

The cookie Google adds expires in approx 30 days. This measure, and the fact that Google uses separate servers for conversion tracking and search results, protects the user's privacy.
