Google Analytics and Other Business Tools: Unlocking Insights for Success
Google Analytics and Other Tools For Business Success
Google Analytics is a free resource that provides valuable business insight. It is a popular tool among businesses of all sizes.
The tool offers many tools including Google Tag Assistant and RegExr. These tools help debug and test tracking codes in real-time. This allows you to troubleshoot issues quickly and efficiently.
Web Analytics
Web Analytics is a free, highly relevant and easy-to-use tool that helps businesses better understand their websites. It also helps them identify which products or services are most popular with customers so they can focus on promoting those items and increase sales.
Using Google Tag Manager, marketers can easily manage various scripts and tags that track data for their website. This saves time and improves website speed as it reduces the need to update a site’s HTML every time a new tag is added.
The data collected by Web Analytics is stored in a database for reporting and analysis purposes. Data is measured using dimensions and metrics. Dimensions are qualitative attributes that describe and organize data, while metrics are quantitative measurements. Examples of metrics include average session length, page views and unique visitors.
Mobile Analytics
Mobile analytics is the process of tracking data about user activity within a mobile app. This can include metrics like number of app downloads, cost per install (CPI), and conversion and purchase paths.
App users tend to be more engaged and convert more frequently than web users, so mobile analytics can help you optimize your experience for them. In addition, understanding how people use your app can encourage new ideas for converting them into paying customers.
Mobile analytics tools usually track user data by adding a JavaScript snippet to your website or app. Once it’s installed, they automatically start capturing every tap, swipe, pageview, fill, and device. Smartlook, for example, has a snippet that’s ready to go in 9 popular apps, frameworks, and engines: Android, iOS, React Native, Cordova, Flutter, Xamarin, and Unity.
App Analytics
App analytics gives you deeper insight into new customers that can be converted into higher stages of the customer lifecycle. It also provides deep insight into customers that churn from your app, so you can focus on targeted strategies to win them back using a personalized approach.
App Analytics can be used to identify any technical issues affecting the performance of your apps such as, uptime and crashes. You can also use it to monitor performance across different devices and find out how your app performs in different markets. The platform also offers various features for data visualization and monitoring, including intelligence and anomaly detection. It can even integrate with other Google tools and partner products to save time and effort.
Looker
Looker is a data exploration platform that can help you create dynamic reports. It also allows multiple users to access and work with the same data without altering the original data source. You can also easily share your reports with others.
This tool can help you make informed decisions and boost your conversions by creating visualizations that are easy to understand and communicate to stakeholders. It can also allow you to make real-time adjustments and stay on top of your business performance.
Nimbata’s call tracking can be integrated with Looker to add your call conversion data as another metric in your marketing performance dashboard. This will give you a complete view of your ROI to align teams and clients on key performance metrics. You can also use the mParticle Action within Looker to send query results to your mParticle environment.
Google Ads
Google Ads is a tool that allows advertisers to bid on keywords in order to get their ads shown on the search engine results page. The amount that is paid for a click on an ad can vary widely depending on how competitive the keywords are and the advertiser’s budget.
For e-commerce marketers, a key metric to track is conversions (i.e. sales or sign-ups). This can be difficult since there may be multiple steps between the ad click and the conversion happening on the website.
To help with this, Google Ads offers enhanced conversion tracking. This provides more accurate data and can make it easier to optimize and attribute conversions. You can also use UTM codes, which are unique identifiers that allow you to track clicks and conversions in Analytics alongside the other traffic sources they come from.
