Or how many users visit your website on a daily basis, how long they linger there, from where and how they reach the site or where they leave it? What can you learn from your visitors\u2019 interaction with your website?<br>To track and understand all of the above you will need an analytics program. In most cases Google Analytics will be your first choice \u2013 it\u2019s free and effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mcg-padding-top-100px has-h-2-font-size\">How do I set up Google Analytics on my website?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The installation of Google Analytics is pretty straight forward: First of all you\u2019ll have to register an account with Google. After typing in all requested information about the website you will get a short JavaScript code from Google. This cade has to be added to each and every page of the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The easiest way is through a CMS like WordPress. There you will find an input field for your code (normally in the theme option section) that, once the code is entered, implements it automatically to all pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In the case that your WP installation doesn\u2019t offer this option you can do the trick by installing a plug-in like <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/google-analytics-for-wordpress\/\">MonsterInsights<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Of course you can also always manually add the code to a WordPress header. Just make sure to use a child theme as any theme updates might otherwise override the Analytics snippet later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">With static websites a manual implementation is the only choice. A site-wide \u201csearch and replace\u201d is highly suggested to ensure complete data tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Google recommends adding the code just above the closing &lt;\/head&gt; tag. Doing so brings the big advantage that other Google services will work better in combination with Analytics that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You can instantly see whether the code was implemented correctly or not in in Google Analytic\u2019s \u201creal time \u2013 overview\u201d report. If everything went right you should be able to see all active sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Further installation details and tips can be found on <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/analytics\">Google\u2019s Analytic Support <\/a>website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mcg-padding-top-100px has-h-2-font-size\">What\u2019s the best way to set up Google Analytics?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading mcg-padding-block-1em has-h-3-font-size\">Defining goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">To make the most of the data collected by Analytics it is always advisable to be as clear as possible about the goals you set for your website and how you define them. What are the users supposed to do on my website? Buy products and services, submit a form or just hang around on specific pages?<br>What does a successful user interaction look like on my website?<br>What are my guidelines for goal completion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading mcg-padding-block-1em has-h-3-font-size\">Setting goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Setting and evaluating goals in Google Analytics really is no rocket science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Just navigate to the \u201cAdmin\u201d section and select the \u201cGoals\u201d option in the \u201cView\u201d column. Click on the \u201c+ New Goal\u201d button and follow the instructions. The program already provides templates for the most common goal types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In case you want to set form submissions as a goal it is best practice to have Analytics count every visit to the \u201cthank you\u201d page that is loaded after a successful submission. Doing so will record every user submitting a certain form.<br>If the goal has a certain value, e.g. purchases on shopping websites, you can also attribute those to your goals. Otherwise you can always set the value to 1 or leave it blank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full mcg-padding-block-1em\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"886\" src=\"https:\/\/kloos.vonblock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Bildschirmfoto20161207um140514png-1030x886-1.png\" alt=\"Zielvorhaben Analytics\" class=\"wp-image-7596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kloos.vonblock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Bildschirmfoto20161207um140514png-1030x886-1.png 1030w, https:\/\/kloos.vonblock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Bildschirmfoto20161207um140514png-1030x886-1-300x258.png 300w, https:\/\/kloos.vonblock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Bildschirmfoto20161207um140514png-1030x886-1-1024x881.png 1024w, https:\/\/kloos.vonblock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Bildschirmfoto20161207um140514png-1030x886-1-768x661.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading mcg-padding-block-1em has-h-3-font-size\">Establishing funnels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A \u201cfunnel\u201d equals a series of pages a user has to visit before a goal conversion can be triggered. The name is a metaphor, as on the first funnel page you will find the most views which will then thin out and narrow down further along the way, as some users are sure to leave the website before reaching an actual goal completion.<br>Through funnel tracking we can visualize how efficiently a goal completion process is designed. Wherever there is a prominent user loss, we can guess there is a weakness in the process and room for optimizations, be it an overly complex or poorly designed and user unfriendly page. Funnels allow us to localize and rectify these weaknesses.<br>To set up a funnel you must first create a \u201cdestination\u201d type goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You will find the \u201cfunnel\u201d option in the \u201cgoal details\u201d section. Here all individual steps a user has to take before triggering a goal conversion have to be listed. To later analyze and evaluate the collected data go to \u201cConversions \u2013 Goals \u2013 Funnel Visualization\u201d in the reporting view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mcg-padding-top-100px has-h-2-font-size\">Reports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Reports surely are the most interesting aspect of Google Analytics. The importance of the individual report types depend on each project\u2019s characteristics. The \u201cDashboard\u201d can be customized to meet individual needs, e.g. by adding often used reports and removing irrelevant ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading mcg-padding-block-1em has-h-3-font-size\">The most informative reports on Google Analytics:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conversions \u2013 Goals \u2013 Overview:<\/strong><br>The one stop overview for all defined goals.<br>This report will only be displayed if there is at least one defined goal available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Acquisition \u2013 All Traffic \u2013 Channels:<\/strong><br>Show how and from where users came to the website. The data is grouped by traffic source (e.g. Organic Search, Paid Search, Direct hits, Referring websites, etc.). This report gives good insight into the development of different traffic sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Behavior \u2013 Overview:<\/strong><br>Here you can find out which pages of your website are trending and attract the most traffic. There is a lot of insight to gained from this report about user behavior on a website, letting your draw conclusion about your audience\u2019s interests for future content and product development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Behavior \u2013 Behavior Flow:<\/strong><br>Shows on which pages users enter a website and what they do afterwards. Also indicates where most users leave the site. Once again there is a lot of insight into user behavior and audience preferences to be gained here, that can be used to make a website more attractive and enhance user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mcg-padding-top-100px has-h-2-font-size\">Exclude internal traffic from reports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Many website admins often spend a lot of time browsing their own websites thus distorting the data collected by Analytics. In some extreme cases we\u2019ve seen companies where internal traffic even overweighed the regular one. That\u2019s why it is crucial to keep reports as untarnished as possible. To do so it is good advice to block one\u2019s own IP address from being tracked by Google Analytics.<br>To do so, create a new filter in the \u201cAdmin\u201d view\u2019s \u201cFilters\u201d section. Just select \u201cExclude\u201d, \u201ctraffic from IP addresses\u201d and enter your own IP address into the box below. Don\u2019t forget to save!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full mcg-padding-block-1em\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1188\" src=\"https:\/\/kloos.vonblock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Bildschirmfoto20161207um143811png-1500x1188-1.png\" alt=\"Filter Analytics\" class=\"wp-image-7599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kloos.vonblock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Bildschirmfoto20161207um143811png-1500x1188-1.png 1500w, https:\/\/kloos.vonblock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Bildschirmfoto20161207um143811png-1500x1188-1-300x238.png 300w, https:\/\/kloos.vonblock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Bildschirmfoto20161207um143811png-1500x1188-1-1024x811.png 1024w, https:\/\/kloos.vonblock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Bildschirmfoto20161207um143811png-1500x1188-1-768x608.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">For more detailed instructions see <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/analytics\/answer\/1034840\">Google Analytics Help.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading mcg-padding-block-1em has-h-3-font-size\"><strong>EU GDPR compliant Google Analytics setup<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">To be on the safe side while using Google Analytics on a website in the EU, there are some points to be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group bg-full mcg-padding-bottom-50px mcg-padding-top-50px has-light-yellow-background-color has-background  wp-block-group-\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group  wp-block-group-\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-font-size\">Update:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">According to most european data protection authorities, Google Analytics may only send data to Google if the user has given his consent. Consent is now usually granted via a privacy pop-up that the user must fill out before he can use the site. The consent is stored for further visits to the site via cookie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, the IP address must be pseudonymized, the data processing agreement must be accepted and the use of Google Analytics must be explicitly stated in the privacy policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mcg-padding-bottom-1em has-copy-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Google Analytics offers a wide variety of functions that haven\u2019t been discussed in this basic tutorial.
