/Web Analytics
What is Web Analytics?
Web analytics is the process of collection, analysis, and reporting of data generated from the interaction of visitors to a website. Measured data and activity involve, for example, the amount of users and sessions, traffic sources, referring sites, page views, paths taken, and conversion rates.
Why should you invest in Web Analytics?
Website Analytics is essential for businesses, as it enables brands to retain customers, attract more visitors and increase the purchase value each customer spends, by putting the customer at the centre of their marketing strategy. A proper implementation of analytics provides decision makers with actionable insights to help understand what opportunities can be implemented to improve the digital offering and enhance the experience of their current and potential customers.
All these opportunities to understand what actions are required to create a better user experience and drive growth to your business are lost if they are not reliably captured, measured, and informed with accurate web analytics.
What are the benefits of Web Analytics?
1. Customer-centric optimization
Web analytics will collect and show a vast range of data: from most visited pages to exit pages, top popular products, the most frequent paths to purchase or even common on-site search terms. This clear understanding of customer behavior is crucial to effectively optimize a website so it achieves key conversion metrics, but more importantly, improves the users' experience by allowing you to get to know your customers better and enhancing their visit experience with tailored results, products and services.
2. Improve site performance
By quickly identifying the factors responsible for a drop in traffic, a spike in bounce rate, or highlighting trends in user navigation and conversion in your site, it can help you determine the changes a site needs to improve its performance.
3. Digital marketing efficiency
With website analytics you can accurately track the efficiency of your digital marketing campaigns to help fine-tune future initiatives. For instance, you can identify which clusters of users are more valuable to your marketing efforts, whether they share a common source of traffic, device, browser or geographical region. It all adds up to knowledge that will come in handy when planning for the next digital marketing campaigns.
4. Segmentation
Related to the above, by making use of segmentation and audience creation in web analytics, results from paid media campaigns can significantly improve if targeted only to such audiences of most relevant or potential users.
5. Measure success
Web analytics allow marketing teams to define Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) or benchmarks to measure the level of success of the various elements of the website, including purchases, calls to action, subscription options or form sign-ups.
