Google Analytics

Overall Satisfaction with Google Analytics

Google Analytics is being used to understand website traffic and content consumption by anonymous site visitors. It allows me to evaluate the site path and most important content for visitors. It also allows me to track visitors form ad campaigns to determine the source of site traffic and promotional effectiveness.
  • Site content analysis of readership and page bounces as an indicator of poor content/navigation
  • Crating goals for analysis and conversion rate calculations
  • Ad tracking and ROI data
  • It is very powerful, but can be confusing at time in the UI
  • Changes to the product require a bit of re-training.
  • It is a little tricky to Anonymize IP to improve GDPR compliance.
  • Customer insights are always important. Understanding the content of interest.
  • Seeing the source of traffic and their site behavior helps evaluate Ad investment.
Campaign tracking requires more set-up in Webtrends, and the additional cost is hard to justify.
It is well suited for website analysis. I have not used it for apps, so I cannot speak to that. There are so many integrations with GA that you can find just about any solution you need, such as WordPress plugins.
