Checklist

Pre-Implementation
•Before I will set up an account, or look to audit an existing
one, I will first need to know what you want to get out of
Google Analytics.
We can then work backwards from your objectives and
translate these into measurable web metrics. Considering
how you want to report on these metrics is also essential at
this juncture.
Within this phase, I will look to identify how your account
should be structured, in terms of web property and profile
set-up, and work with you on KPI definitions.
Implementation
I will provide instructions for any changes you and your web
development team need to make, while outlining what we
have amended in a separate section. Typical examples of
issues I will identify are below.
Implementation
Account Audit
We go through your Google analytics account with a fine-tooth comb. Typically we
find and fix all of the below:
- Broken/unnecessary profiles
- Incorrect profile settings
- Broken/unnecessary filters
- Polluted content reports
- No/incorrect campaign tagging
- No/incorrect goal strategy
Implementation
Site Audit
Any issues related to the website which may hinder accurate data collection are
addressed here.
- Scan of the website to ensure the correct code is placed in all the correct places,
including:
o Whether tag management is appropriate for you
o Whether sub- or cross- domain tracking is required
o Frames or dynamic pages are tracked correctly
- Review of any trackable areas/features which aren’t being tracked
Implementation
Implementation guide
Following on from the above work we build a list of improvements. Typically we
address the following:
- Profile strategy
- IP address exclusion
- Campaign tagging
- Site search tracking
- Goal & funnel strategy
- Tracking events
- Basket pages
- Advanced features
Implementation
ser Guidance (Optional Extra)
I will create a best practice document to be used internally in your organization. This
will allow internal stakeholders to carry out the below tasks without requiring further
support.
- Adding a new user
- Building & scheduling a basic report
- Adding a basic filter
- Creating a basic profile
- Creating alerts and annotations
- Creating a goal
- Tagging a marketing campaign
- Google Analytics glossary
Post Implementation
Following the above stages, I will audit the data that is being collected. I will gauge it
for:
- Comprehensiveness
- Accuracy
- Fit to the brief
The data is minded for accuracies to ensure everything is tracking as it should be
before I will officially sign you off as having an account to be proud of!
