USER BEHAVIOUR
On-site search
One of the most underrated and underused reports inside Google Analytics is “search terms”.
![Page 28: Web Analytics Reporting and Strategy](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052514/58a597d91a28abaf3e8b53c1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

USER BEHAVIOUR
On-site search
New website = improved navigation = improved visitor satisfaction = less on-site search
![Page 33: Web Analytics Reporting and Strategy](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052514/58a597d91a28abaf3e8b53c1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

CASE STUDY #4{A WORK IN PROGRESS}
Who, What, Where, How-But Not Why
![Page 38: Web Analytics Reporting and Strategy](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052514/58a597d91a28abaf3e8b53c1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
WHO?
2014 stats: old website2015 stats: new website
Stats don’t lie!!Visitors prefer the new website, they are now returning.
![Page 39: Web Analytics Reporting and Strategy](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052514/58a597d91a28abaf3e8b53c1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
WHAT?
How can we improve the “account” page design and copy to improve % exit rate?
![Page 40: Web Analytics Reporting and Strategy](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052514/58a597d91a28abaf3e8b53c1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
WHERE?
Should we push paid ads to locations with high conversion rate to “Account Register” page?
Should we push re-marketing ads to those areas with a high percentage of new visitors?
![Page 41: Web Analytics Reporting and Strategy](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052514/58a597d91a28abaf3e8b53c1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
HOW?
§ Mobile visitors are interested in registering an account!§ Are these people in-store doing their own research?? Are we selling the benefits online?§ What is the mobile user behaviour once after they’ve visited the “account register” page?§ How can we improve on this? Let’s use heat maps and funnel reports to guide next design
phase.
