Let’s start with the basics:
1)	 Install the tracking code
To insert the Google Analytics code, you need to get into the
HTML of your page. If you are using a service like WordPress,
you’ll need to open the footer.php file to place this code.
a.	 Copy the code Google displays for you (it includes your
unique UA code).
b.	 Paste EXACTLY THAT before the
ending tag in your HTML code.
QUICK TIP: Just do a search within the code to find this
tag – “Ctrl+F” on a PC or “Command+F” on a Mac. In
the Find box, type “</head>” (minus quotes)
c.	 Save. As Google says, most websites re-use one file for
commoncontent,soit’slikelythatyouwon’thavetoplace
the code snippet on every single page of your website.
d.	 Done! Wait for Google to recognise the installed code
(can take a few hours to one day). When everything
is installed correctly – “Tracking Status” will read
“Receiving Data.”
Finally, check you analytics code with Google’s Tag Assistant.
- Tag Assistant helps you verify that you have installed various
Google tags correctly on your page. Most Google tags are
checked including Google Analytics, Adwords Conversion
Tracking, Google Tag Manager and more.
In some cases it is best to work with your webmaster, designer
or agency to set this up. It is important that it is put in the
correct places as you want to ensure you are using clean data
and not data that is distorted in some way.
2)	 Getting to grips with the
terminology and metrics
Understanding the metrics is an important starting point for
your Google Analytics reporting and on-going measurement.
The main terms you will come across are listed below.
Understanding what these mean and associating them with a
suitableindustrybenchmarkwillhelpyoumeasurethesuccess
of your campaigns and online marketing efforts.
Getting Started with
Google Analytics
7 Easy but comprehensive steps
Right, so you have a shiny new website or you have a site that has
been up and running for a while now – that’s great.The hard work
is done and the leads and sales will start flooding in. If only!
There are multiple tasks that we should all be doing to maintain and
improve our online presence; setting up and actively using analytics
reporting is a must.
One of the main advantages of the internet in addition to its reach is its
measurability.That old saying“Half the money I spend on advertising
is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know which half.”, now through analytic
tools available on the internet we are in a position now more than ever
to measure the impact and conversions associated with each platform
we use.

Audience Overview
•	 Visits the total number of visits to your site.
•	 Unique Visitors the total number of unique visitors to
your site.
•	 Pageviewsthetotalnumberofpagesviewedonyoursite.
•	 Pages per Visit the average number of pages viewed per
visit.
•	 Average Visit Duration is the average visit length of all
visitors.
•	 Bounce Rate is the percentage of visits that go only one
page before exiting a site.
•	 New Visitors the percentage of total visitors who visited
your site for the first time.
In audience view, you can as with the rest of the overviews;
view different demographics, behaviour and technology.
Traffic Source
Direct traffic
Visits to your site where the user types your URL into their
browser’s address bar or when a visitor uses a bookmark to get
to your website.
Referral Traffic
Other websites that refer or send visitors to your website are
called referring sites
Search Traffic
Online tools that allow you to find specific web pages by using
a keyword search query. The three main search engines are
Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Google Analytics segments your
traffic data so you can see which search engines are driving
traffic to your Website, and how much traffic each search
engine is generating. Google Analytics allows you to separate
this data into organic and paid results.
•	 Organic Traffic: Visitors who come to your website from
unpaid organic or natural search engine results.
•	 Paid Traffic: This consists of visitors who come to your
website from Google AdWords ads, paid search engine
keywords and other online paid ad campaigns.
Campaigns
These can be campaigns you tag through PPC, Email
marketing.ItisbestpracticetomakesureyoulinkyourGoogle
Adwords account and also to complete your Google Analytics
details in the programme you use for email marketing. Large
email marketing providers such as mail chimp and constant
contact would have this facility.
Keywords
Keywords are a great stat that shows you the words that people
have used to find you. If important keywords are not showing
up here then you know you’re missing out on an opportunity.
3)	 Social Reports
The Social Conversions Report allows you to measure the
success of your social campaigns by breaking them down
by network and then aligning them with your on-site goals,
conversions and ecommerce transactions.
In doing this, marketers can see which networks deliver the
highest bottom-line impact, and where they need a social
strategy review.

4)	 Set up Goals and Link to Adwords
One of the core benefits of analytics is measuring the results
andeffectivenessofouronlineadvertisingormarketingefforts.
Whether this is achieving a certain amount of newsletter sign
ups, brochure requests or selling something directly of the site
i.e. a transaction, we want to make sure that is tracked from
start to finish.
Creating a new Goal
Goals are set at the view level. To find a view, click Admin,
then select an account, property, and a view. Click Goals, then
Create a Goal.
Follow the step-by-step flow in your account to set up a Goal.
As you complete each step, click Next step to save and move
on. Click Save Goal to finish. To quit the process without
saving, click Cancel.
Linking your Adwords account to Analytics
1.	 Sign in to your AdWords account at  https://adwords.
google.com.
2.	 Click the  Tools and Analysis  tab, then select  Google
Analytics.
3.	 Click the Admin tab at the top of the page.
4.	 Click the name of the account you’d like to link
5.	 Click the Data sources 
6.	 Click the AdWords tab, then select Link Accounts.
7.	 Select which Google Analytics profiles you’d like to
link to AdWords. Autotagging is recommended and
allows AdWords to automatically and invisibly tag your
destination URLs  so that Google Analytics can track
them.
Once accounts are linked, it can take 24 hours to see your
AdWords data reflected in your Analytics account, and you
may need to sign out and back in again to see it.
5)	 Content Overview
The Content section contains reports designed to help you
improve the content on your site to meet the needs and
expectations of visitors.
The content overview specifies the top five most viewed pages
over the time period you’re looking at.
1.	 Click on the name of any page to get extremely detailed
information about where the people viewing that page
came from, how long they spent on the page, how many
of them were new to the page, and a lot more.
2.	 Click on View Report to get access to information about
the performance of all pages on the site.
Thecontentoverviewhelpspointouthowyourcontentisdoing
in comparison to other content on your site. It is important to
note that different pages will have different results e.g. news
items, contact us page, about us, services or products. Do not
compare apple and oranges!
Based on this data, you can develop an understanding of how
well your content addresses the purpose of your site.
For example, if your landing pages have a high bounce rate
and visitors spend only a few seconds on those pages, you
might conclude that the page content does not meet visitors’
expectations or that the page isn’t designed to effectively draw
visitors further into your site.

•	 40-60% Content websites
•	 30-50% Lead generation sites
•	 70-98% Blogs
•	 20-40% Retail sites
•	 10-30% Service sites
6)	 Dashboards
Dashboards give you an overview on how your properties are
performing by displaying summaries of different reports as
widgets on a single page. With a dashboard, you can monitor
many metrics at once, so you can quickly check the health of
your accounts or see correlations between different reports. To
view and manage your dashboards, use the Dashboards menu
on the left, found under the Home tab.

how they should be displayed. To access your custom reports,
click the Custom Reporting tab. Your reports will be listed in
the left navigation under Custom Reports.

and then click Overview under Custom Reports in the left
navigation.Click +NewCustomReport tocreateanewreport.

Getting stared with google analytics

  • 1. Let’s start with the basics: 1) Install the tracking code To insert the Google Analytics code, you need to get into the HTML of your page. If you are using a service like WordPress, you’ll need to open the footer.php file to place this code. a. Copy the code Google displays for you (it includes your unique UA code). b. Paste EXACTLY THAT before the ending tag in your HTML code. QUICK TIP: Just do a search within the code to find this tag – “Ctrl+F” on a PC or “Command+F” on a Mac. In the Find box, type “</head>” (minus quotes) c. Save. As Google says, most websites re-use one file for commoncontent,soit’slikelythatyouwon’thavetoplace the code snippet on every single page of your website. d. Done! Wait for Google to recognise the installed code (can take a few hours to one day). When everything is installed correctly – “Tracking Status” will read “Receiving Data.” Finally, check you analytics code with Google’s Tag Assistant. - Tag Assistant helps you verify that you have installed various Google tags correctly on your page. Most Google tags are checked including Google Analytics, Adwords Conversion Tracking, Google Tag Manager and more. In some cases it is best to work with your webmaster, designer or agency to set this up. It is important that it is put in the correct places as you want to ensure you are using clean data and not data that is distorted in some way. 2) Getting to grips with the terminology and metrics Understanding the metrics is an important starting point for your Google Analytics reporting and on-going measurement.

The three main search engines are Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Google Analytics segments your traffic data so you can see which search engines are driving traffic to your Website, and how much traffic each search engine is generating. Google Analytics allows you to separate this data into organic and paid results. • Organic Traffic: Visitors who come to your website from unpaid organic or natural search engine results. • Paid Traffic: This consists of visitors who come to your website from Google AdWords ads, paid search engine keywords and other online paid ad campaigns.

  • 3. 4) Set up Goals and Link to Adwords One of the core benefits of analytics is measuring the results andeffectivenessofouronlineadvertisingormarketingefforts. Whether this is achieving a certain amount of newsletter sign ups, brochure requests or selling something directly of the site i.e. a transaction, we want to make sure that is tracked from start to finish. Creating a new Goal Goals are set at the view level. To find a view, click Admin, then select an account, property, and a view. Click Goals, then Create a Goal. Follow the step-by-step flow in your account to set up a Goal. As you complete each step, click Next step to save and move on. Click Save Goal to finish. To quit the process without saving, click Cancel. Linking your Adwords account to Analytics 1. Sign in to your AdWords account at  https://adwords. google.com. 2. Click the  Tools and Analysis  tab, then select  Google Analytics. 3. Click the Admin tab at the top of the page. 4. Click the name of the account you’d like to link 5. Click the Data sources  6. Click the AdWords tab, then select Link Accounts. 7. Select which Google Analytics profiles you’d like to link to AdWords. Autotagging is recommended and allows AdWords to automatically and invisibly tag your destination URLs  so that Google Analytics can track them. Once accounts are linked, it can take 24 hours to see your AdWords data reflected in your Analytics account, and you may need to sign out and back in again to see it. 5) Content Overview The Content section contains reports designed to help you improve the content on your site to meet the needs and expectations of visitors. The content overview specifies the top five most viewed pages over the time period you’re looking at. 1. Click on the name of any page to get extremely detailed information about where the people viewing that page came from, how long they spent on the page, how many of them were new to the page, and a lot more. 2. Click on View Report to get access to information about the performance of all pages on the site. Thecontentoverviewhelpspointouthowyourcontentisdoing in comparison to other content on your site. It is important to note that different pages will have different results e.g. news items, contact us page, about us, services or products. Do not compare apple and oranges! Based on this data, you can develop an understanding of how well your content addresses the purpose of your site. For example, if your landing pages have a high bounce rate and visitors spend only a few seconds on those pages, you might conclude that the page content does not meet visitors’ expectations or that the page isn’t designed to effectively draw visitors further into your site.
