There are many different types of analytical software that you can use to be able to track your website’s traffic and usage, but, the main system and platform that is used and universally known would be that of Google Analytics. In this case, and for examples, we will be speaking about Google Analytics only within this section.
Google Analytics is a web analytics service that is offered by search engines to be able to track and optimise traffic through the use of reporting and is now the most widely used analytical web service on the internet.
Goal Completions
Users will be able to review all online campaigns by tracking the landing page quality and the conversions made on these specific pages. Each conversion would be labelled as a ‘Goal’ which you can set up yourself. This ‘Goal Completion’ may be submitting a lead, entering an email for the newsletter, purchasing a product or simply visiting a certain page on the website that is of importance.
The system itself shows a high level of analytical data which will enable you to drill down to many different areas including, what pages were visited on the site, session duration, bounce rate, what type of demographic is visiting, what technology are they using to visit (Tablet, Desktop, Phone etc), where in the world is the traffic coming from and what digital marketing channel the user has come from.
All of this information will enable you to track and record against your initial marketing plan, where you can then report back to your team on whether the campaigns have been a success or a failure.
You are also able to build sales funnels within the analytical software, so you are then able to track certain sale types against others, which will help you optimise your campaigns and get the very best out of the marketing efforts that you are putting in.
Google Analytics Academy
Google does also offer a free educational platform in which you will be able to learn how to use Google Analytics to its maximum, though within this section we will go through the basic mediums, I would highly suggest that you endeavour to take the educational programmes and become Google Analytics Qualified.
Benefits of Google Analytics
For all marketers throughout the globe, Google Analytics is the eyes and ears of the campaigns that are put into place. All learnings are taken from Google Analytics alone, be it an Email Campaign, Search Engine Optimisation, PPC or Social Media. Though they all have their platforms that can report on the success and failures, these are all below the mighty Google Analytics platform.
