Dear CMO, last month, the number of sessions to our site was…
…which is an uplift of 3.45% compared to the previous month!

8. Definition of a Session
• Group of interactions that takes place on a website…
GPeC Summit 11-May-2015 | @SimoAhava
• That expires after 30 minutes of inactivity…
• Or at the end of they day…
• Or when acquisition campaign changes…
• Unless the referral is in the Referral Exclusion List…
• Or traffic is cross-domain, and cross-domain tracking is implemented…
• Unless it’s implemented incorrectly…
• Which is likely since it’s so !#/%(“% difficult…
• Unless you’re using Google Tag Manager…
• Except if you’ve implemented THAT incorrectly…

9. All metrics and dimensions used by
a platform subscribe to the
schemas of said platform!

recommend optimizing for these milestones…

metrics, it might be
better to look at a site
through funnels.

GPeC Summit 11-May-2015 | @SimoAhava
A schema that expands a single metric (Transaction /
Conversion Rate) and turns it into funnels.
An optimization tool especially for identifying missed
opportunities.
A way to navigate around the limitations of a heavily
biased platform like Google Analytics.

49. Implementation tips & ideas
…if you can’t make it to my workshop tomorrow…
GPeC Summit 11-May-2015 | @SimoAhava

50. Use a Data Layer
GPeC Summit 11-May-2015 | @SimoAhava

51. Use a Data Layer
GPeC Summit 11-May-2015 | @SimoAhava

52. Use Google Tag Manager
GPeC Summit 11-May-2015 | @SimoAhava
Works beautifully with a Data Layer
Relatively trivial to implement new tags
Short time-to-market for changes in the
page template or Data Layer

53. Recognize the limitations
GPeC Summit 11-May-2015 | @SimoAhava
Session-scoped :(
Only works with a specific, albeit common,
type of webstore
Very little room for customisation

54. Practise with the Live Demo
