THE USER JOURNEY
SUBHEADER

Bounce rate – High or low – good or bad?
| 50UXSTORIES.DK
Bounce rate - high or low - good or bad?
Time on page - high or low - good or bad?
New / returning visitor - differences in the way the
users behave?
Completed goals on the page - few or many?
Conditions above should be considered in compare
to where the user are in the journey, and what we
would like the user to do on the site!
THE USER JOURNEY
Metrics that describe user behaviour
15
| 50UXSTORIES.DK
"Its not about what, but about why?"
Analytics gives you answers to what happens, not
why users do what they do!
Therefore, be sure to compare Google Analytics data
with a visual review of your website, and with other
knowledge about user behavior(tests and interviews)
that can help you understand why users do what
they do!
THE USER JOURNEY
Web Analytics provide What
16
| 50UXSTORIES.DK
Be sure to compare same month in year to same
month the following year
Be sure to know what is going on in your business,
so that you know why the numbers might deviate
from expected…
There also a technical side to consider, be sure your
analytics is set up right, in order to measure right!
