Marketers must excel at bringing structure and meaning to numbers, and then be prepared to adapt strategies in real time based on the results (or lack thereof). In this HUG event, we’ll dive into the process of setting up a comprehensive tracking system, consolidating data into easy to understand visualizations, and generating concise, actionable reports that your team can use to quickly reallocate resources and drive results.

58. Website Traffic Analysis
When comparing last month to this month there were 10,618 website sessions, which is an improvement of 200
(+1.9%) over the previous month. Unfortunately, the 7,600 Users to the site was a decrease of -515 (-6.9%).
There were 5,298 New Users, which slipped by -8.8%.
In terms of engagement, Goal conversions (300) decreased by -15 (-20.9%). On the bright side, all
supplemental engagement metrics improved:
• Bounce Rate: 42.0% (-4.2 points)
• Pages / Session: 5.2 (+4.5%)
• Avg. Time on Site (sec): 154.7 (+30.9%)
Of the 8 channels that drove traffic last month, 3 saw an increase. However, majority of the site's increase in
sessions (200) can be attributed to:
Referral: 1,054 total sessions / +539 sessions — This is thanks to an improvement from from 2 sites.
Specifically:
• hubspot: Drove 401 more sessions to the following pages /blog (+27 sessions), /pages-two (+20), page-
six (+11), page-seven (+9), /pages-eight (+8)
• pr2020.com drove +86 more sessions to the following pages: homepage (+7 sessions), /blog-post-1 (+6),
/blog-post-2(+5), /industries (+2), /resources (+2).
However, if you total all the channels that improved, total sessions had the potential to grow by 3,249, or 1,406
more than what we saw. This means some of the positive growth was limited by drops in other channels,
specifically:
(Other): 569 total sessions / -646 sessions — Other is a channel where campaigns a grouped in Google
Analytics if it can't identify the channel. The decrease here can be associated with 1 source. Specifically:
• Trade pub enewsletter resulted in -443 fewer sessions to homepage (-107 sessions), /industries (-238).
Display: 3,162 total sessions / -132 sessions — This is the result of a drop in traffic from primarily 1 campaign.
Specifically:
• Resources 1 campaign resulted in -722 fewer sessions, specifically to the following page: /landing-page(-399
sessions)
Key Channels
Not covered above, PR 20/20 also regularly monitors the performance of the following 3 channels:
Organic Search: Sessions: 7,839 (+553) / Users: 2,525 (+522) / Goals: 132 (+43)
The boost is the direct result of 500 more visitors to the "(not provided)" keyword going to /blog/how-to-won (+239
sessions), home (+332), /industries (+50), /blog-post-one (+36), /blog-next-page (+25). In addition, the "(not set)"
keyword saw an increase of 6, specifically those going to: /home-page (+6 sessions),
Social: Sessions: 46 (-81) / Users: 42 (-89) / Goals: 2 (-5)
The drop can be attributed to LinkedIn driving -95 fewer sessions to /blog-post-one (-47 sessions), /blog-post-two (-
21), /bloggy-blogs (-2), /industries (-3). Twitter saw a decrease of -5, specifically those going to /industries (-2
sessions), /pages (-1). In addition, Facebook saw a drop of -5, specifically those going to the homepage (-3
sessions).
Email: Sessions: 583 (+297) / Users: 372 (+256) / Goals: 154 (+87)

month. Specifically:
Blog subscriber email drove 234 more sessions to /blog-post-three (236 sessions), (not set) (3), /landing-page-two
(1), /website-pages (1), /blah-blah (1).
