Website Analytics

A turnkey website analytics service is based on website analytics software, A/B or multivariate testing software and the expertise of web analytics and web design professionals. The service typically covers monitoring, collecting, measuring, reporting and analysis of quantitative website activity data, which businesses and organizations can use to optimize landing pages and maximize online marketing activities. The website analytics software runs on the web server or uses code tags that are implemented in the web page to send user activity information back to the web server.

With website analytics site owners and online marketers can track and analyze site visitor behavior on web pages, traffic patterns, click and conversion tracking of marketing campaigns, conversion dynamics and more. The resulting data stream provides businesses with the necessary information to make educated business decisions and maximize campaign ROI.

1. Set Goals - Identify clients’ goals and objectives
2. Measure - Use web analytics software to collect relevant data
3. Report - Compile data in relevant, human-readable reports tied into KPI’s

Program Methodology
Our Web analytics service is based on a 6-step program that includes the following components:

1. Identify Goals and Objectives
   Analyzing the directories to determine in which categories competitors are listed, and what type of descriptions their sites have.
2. Metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s)
   The second step in the service program defines the specific business metrics and key performance indicator (KPI’s). This includes deciding on the KPI’s such as visits-to-lead conversion and visits-to-sales conversion and on a data collection strategy, e.g. what data to keep and what to ignore, storage/archiving requirement and historical report generation.
3. Data Collection and Reporting
   In the data collection and reporting step we set-up the data collection parameters and defines what type of reports need to be generated. After metric data has been collected it is parsed into a useful and human readable reports that ties into the specific site goals or key performance indicator (KPIs). Often different reports are generated for marketing, IT and executives.
4. Define Enhancement Strategy
   Based on a thorough analysis of the report results we identify the changes that could potentially affect the bottom line the most. This could include changes to website or landing page designs, navigation or develop of new content or landing pages.
5. Multivariate and A/B Testing
   The best way to verify whether the changes to the website or landing page are effective is through multivariate or A/B testing. Before multivariate testing can begin we establish a control and baseline, e.g. web page, landing page or banner ad and define the variations we are going to test. Once the baseline is established, we start optimizing the item we have selected one step at a time.
6. Measure Test Results and Repeat
   The final step in the program includes capturing, measuring and analyzing the multivariate testing results of the changes and incorporating those results in the next planning cycle.
