Check Up On Your Data
By far, Google Analytics is one of the most important marketing tools that a business can use on its website. A Google Analytics audit reviews your current marketing platforms to see what is working, metrics you may not be accurately tracking, and presents recommendations for better results.
Why Do a Google Analytics Audit?
When we begin working with clients, we initially recommend a Google Audit. It ensures you have accurate marketing data for decision-making. Audits often uncover errors in reporting data such as website sessions and users, goal completions, and more. A comprehensive audit looks at how each of your marketing channels tracks visitor behaviors and conversions. In some instances, an audit identifies reporting inconsistencies that distort lead generation efforts.
Common Issues
Common issues we identify in a Google Analytics audit include (yet are not limited to) things like:
Google Analytics Audits: What’s Included?
While the process itself varies depending on your website’s size, technologies used, and a number of marketing channels, there are a few key elements we typically include in a Google Analytics audit.
- Check tracking code implementation to make sure the code is correctly executed, and data is accurately tracked.
- Map out conversions and micro conversions/events (visitor behaviors that indicate engagement and interest, such as viewing a video, reading a specific page, etc.)
- Review the Admin section configuration to check key settings and debug issues to avoid data fragmentation.
You’ll receive a report on our findings and a list of recommendations. If you’d like us to implement those recommendations, we’ll agree on the project’s scope and final deliverables. Many clients combine other analytics services and projects, such as creating custom dashboards and alerts.
