Leverage Google Analytics to Create an Engaging Web Experience

Presented by:Michael David

Google Analytics:

Who they are

What they do

What they like

Where they are

When the act

What tools they use

INTRO: WHY GOOGLE ANALYTICS?

4/30/2015

Consider This:

Today, a paperboy with GA has more accurate insight into his website visitors, their behavior and demographics, than any advertising campaign that exisited prior to 1995.

Anyone engaging with GA now?

Anyone have it installed but don't know what to do next?

Is anyone tracking GA Goal Conversions?

4/30/2015

Universal Tip:

Use Google's Tag Assistant Chrome Extension to set up analytics perfectly

CURING BOUNCE RATE & EXIT PAGES

4/30/2015

What types of pages would have an inherent bounce rate near 100%

- Thank you pages at the end of shopping carts, tests, form submissions- Invitations to exit, like “visit us on facebook”- One page websites

- Remember, you don't mind a bounce rate/exit page if the customer has taken the action that you asked them to take (more in a moment)

Ways we can address Exit Pages:

Examine Content & Appearance of Page

Is the content weak? Is the page unnattractive? Is the page unreadable on new devices? Does the page present display problems for its audience?

4/30/2015

Does the page fulfill the promise of the inbound path?

Users come to a page with expectations they acquire along the inbound path

Kansas Veterinary Medical Association

Are their Paths/Links to other content? “Related Pages” Is there a clear and strong Call to Action?

A Call to Action is the ultimate engagement, it turns a visitor into a buyer, member, attendee, regular reader, social follower, more

4/30/2015

Solution: we can “present” a continued path Comment section/Review section Create Paths/Links to other content? “Popular Pages” links “Related Pages” links Social sharing

The Ultimate Way to address Exit Pages:

Is there a clear and strong Call to Action? What do you want? Members? Attendees? Social Followers?

A Call to Action is the ultimate engagement, it turns a visitor into a buyer, member, attendee, regular reader, social follower, more

Why is this a good or bad page for the purpose of getting a customer to act?

CALLS TO ACTION

Goal Tracking lets you define a user action and then you can measure your success at reaching that goal in GA

Purchases Contact Form Fills Requests for information Downloads

It's tricky to set up, get help from I.T.
