A Beginner’s Guide to Omnichannel Analytics
14 avril 2024, par ErinLinear customer journeys are as obsolete as dial-up internet and floppy disks. As a marketing manager, you know better than anyone that customers interact with your brand hundreds of times across dozens of channels before purchasing. That can make tracking them a nightmare unless you build an omnichannel analytics solution.
Alas, if only it were that simple.
Unfortunately, it’s not enough to collect data on your customers’ complex journeys just by buying an omnichannel platform. You need to generate actionable insights by using marketing attribution to tie channels to conversions.
This article will explain how to build a useful omnichannel analytics solution that lets you understand and improve the customer journey.
What is omnichannel analytics ?
Omnichannel analytics collects and analyses customer data from every touchpoint and device. The goal is to collect all this omnichannel data in one place, creating a single, real-time, unified view of your customer’s journey.
Unfortunately, most businesses haven’t achieved this yet. As Karen Lellouche Tordjman and Marco Bertini say :
“Despite all the buzz around the concept of omnichannel, most companies still view customer journeys as a linear sequence of standardised touchpoints within a given channel. But the future of customer engagement transforms touchpoints from nodes along a predefined distribution path to full-blown portals that can serve as points of sale or pathways to many other digital and virtual interactions. They link to chatbots, kiosks, robo-advisors, and other tools that customers — especially younger ones — want to engage with.”
However, doing so is more important than ever — especially when consumers have over 300 digital touchpoints, and the average number of touchpoints in the B2B buyer journey is 27.
Not only that, but customers expect personalised experiences across every platform — that’s the kind you can only create when you have access to omnichannel data.
What might omnichannel analytics look like in practice for an e-commerce store ?
An online store would integrate data from channels like its website, mobile app, social media accounts, Google Ads and customer service records. This would show how customers find its brand, how they use each channel to interact with it and which channels convert the most customers.
This would allow the e-commerce store to tailor marketing channels to customers’ needs. For instance, they could focus social media use on product discovery and customer support. Google Ads campaigns could target the best-converting products. While all this is happening, the store could also ensure every channel looks the same and delivers the same experience.
What are the benefits of omnichannel analytics ?
Why go to all the trouble of creating a comprehensive view of the customer’s experience ? Because you stand to gain some pretty significant benefits when implementing omnichannel analytics.
Understand the customer journey
You want to understand how your customers behave, right ? No other method will allow you to fully understand your customer journey the way omnichannel analytics does.
It doesn’t matter how customers engage with your brand — whether that’s your website, app, social media profiles or physical stores — omnichannel analytics capture every interaction.
With this 360-degree view of your customers, it’s easy to understand how they move between channels, where they encounter issues and what bottlenecks prevent them from converting.
Deliver better personalisation
We don’t have to tell you that personalisation matters. But do you know just how important it is ? Since 56% of customers will become repeat buyers after a personalised experience, delivering them as often as possible is critical.
Omnichannel analytics helps in your quest for personalisation by highlighting the individual preferences of customer segments. For example, e-commerce stores can use omnichannel analytics to understand how shoppers behave across different devices and tailor their offers accordingly.
Upgrade the customer experience
Omnichannel analytics gives you the insights to improve every aspect of the customer experience.
For starters, you can ensure a consistent brand experience across all your top channels by making sure they look and behave the same.
Then, you can use omnichannel insights to tailor each channel to your customers’ requirements. For example, most people interacting with your brand on social media may seek support. Knowing that you can create dedicated support accounts to assist users.
Improve marketing campaigns
Which marketing campaigns or traffic sources convert the most customers ? How can you improve these campaigns ? Omnichannel analytics has the answers.
When you implement omnichannel analytics you automatically track the performance of every marketing channel by attributing each conversion to one or more traffic sources. This lets you see whether Google Ads bring in more customers than your SEO efforts. Or whether social media ads are the most profitable acquisition channel.
Armed with this information, you can improve your marketing efforts — either by focusing on your profitable channels or rectifying problems that stop less profitable channels from converting.
What are the challenges of omnichannel analytics ?
There are three challenges when implementing an omnichannel analytics solution :
- Complex customer journeys : Customer journeys aren’t linear and can be incredibly difficult to track.
- Regulatory and privacy issues : When you start gathering customer data, you quickly come up against consumer privacy laws.
- No underlying goal : There has to be a reason to go to all this effort, but brands don’t always have goals in mind before they start.
You can’t do anything about the first challenge.
After all, your customer journey will almost never be linear. And isn’t the point of implementing an omnichannel solution to understand these complex journeys in the first place ? Once you set up omnichannel analytics, these journeys will be much easier to decipher.
As for the other two :
Using the right software that respects user privacy and complies with all major privacy laws will avoid regulatory issues. Take Matomo, for instance. Our software was designed with privacy in mind and is configured to follow the strictest privacy laws, such as GDPR.
Tying omnichannel analytics to marketing attribution will solve the final challenge by giving your omnichannel efforts a goal. When you tie omnichannel analytics to your marketing efforts, you aren’t just getting a 360-degree view of your customer journey for the sake of it. You are getting that view to improve your marketing efforts and increase sales.

How to set up an omnichannel analytics solution
Want to set up a seamless analytical environment that incorporates data from every possible source ? Follow these five steps :
Choose one or more analytics providers
You can use several tools to build an omnichannel analytics solution. These include web and app analytics tools, customer data platforms that centralise first-party data and business intelligence tools (typically used for visualisation).
Which tools you use will depend on your goals and your budget — the loftier your ambitions and the higher your budget, the more tools you can use.
Ideally, you should use as few tools as possible to capture your data. Most teams won’t need business intelligence platforms, for example. However, you may or may not need both an analytics platform and a customer data platform. Your decision will depend on how many channels your customers use and how well your analytics tool tracks everything.
If it can capture web and app usage while integrating with third-party platforms like your back-end e-commerce platform, then it’s probably enough.
Collect accurate data at every touchpoint
Your omnichannel analytics efforts hinge on the quantity and quality of data you can collect. You want to gather data from every touchpoint possible and store that data in as few places as possible. That’s why choosing as few tools as possible in the step above is so important.
So, where should you start ? Common data sources include :
- Your website
- Apps (iOS and Android)
- Social media profiles
- ERPs
- PoS systems
At the same time, make sure you’re tracking all relevant metrics. Revenue, customer engagement and conversion-focused metrics like conversion rate, dwell time, cart abandonment rate and churn rate are particularly important.
Set up marketing attribution
Setting up marketing attribution (also known as multi-touch attribution) is essential to tie omnichannel data to business goals. It’s the only way to know exactly how valuable each marketing channel is and where each customer comes from.
You’ll want to use multi-touch attribution, given you have data from across the customer journey.
Multi-touch attribution models can include (but are not limited to) :
- Linear : where each touchpoint is given equal weighting
- Time decay : where touchpoints are more valuable the nearer they are to conversion
- Position-based : where the first and last touch points are more valuable than all the others.
You don’t have to use just one of the models above, however. One of the benefits of using a web analytics tool like Matomo is that you can choose between different attribution models and compare them.

Create reports that help you visualise data
Dashboards are your friend here. They’ll let you see KPIs at a glance, allowing you to keep track of day-to-day changes in your customer journey. Ideally, you’ll want a platform that lets you customise dashboard widgets so only relevant KPIs are shown.
Setting up standard and custom reports is also important. Custom reports allow you to choose metrics and dimensions that align with your goals. They will also allow you to present your data most meaningfully to your team, increasing the likelihood they act upon insights.
Analyse data and take action
Now that you have customer journey data at your fingertips, it’s time to analyse it. After all, there’s no point in implementing an omnichannel analytics solution if you aren’t going to take action.
If you’re unsure where to start, re-read the benefits we listed at the start of this article. You could use your omnichannel insights to improve your marketing campaigns by doubling down on the channels that bring in the best customers.
Or you could identify (and fix) bottlenecks in the customer journey so customers are less likely to fall out of your funnel between certain channels.
Just make sure you take action based on your data alone.
Make the most of omnichannel analytics with Matomo
A comprehensive web and app analytics platform is vital to any omnichannel analytics strategy.
But not just any solution will do. When privacy regulations impede an omnichannel analytics solution, you need a platform to capture accurate data without breaking privacy laws or your users’ trust.
That’s where Matomo comes in. Our privacy-friendly web analytics platform ensures accurate tracking of web traffic while keeping you compliant with even the strictest regulations. Moreover, our range of APIs and SDKs makes it easy to track interactions from all your digital products (website, apps, e-commerce back-ends, etc.) in one place.

What is Web Log Analytics and Why You Should Use It
26 juin 2024, par ErinCan’t use JavaScript tracking on your website ? Need a more secure and privacy-friendly way to understand your website visitors ? Web log analytics is your answer. This method pulls data directly from your server logs, offering a secure and privacy-respecting alternative.
In this blog, we cover what web log analytics is, how it compares to JavaScript tracking, who it is best suited for, and why it might be the right choice for you.
What are server logs ?
Before diving in, let’s start with the basics : What are server logs ? Think of your web server as a diary that notes every visit to your website. Each time someone visits, the server records details like :
- User agent : Information about the visitor’s browser and operating system.
- Timestamp : The exact time the request was made.
- Requested URL : The specific page or resource the visitor requested.
These “diary entries” are called server logs, and they provide a detailed record of all interactions with your website.
Server log example
Here’s what a server log looks like :
192.XXX.X.X – – [24/Jun/2024:14:32:01 +0000] “GET /index.html HTTP/1.1” 200 1024 “https://www.example.com/referrer.html” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0 ; Win64 ; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36”
192.XXX.X.X – – [24/Jun/2024:14:32:02 +0000] “GET /style.css HTTP/1.1” 200 3456 “https://www.example.com/index.html” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0 ; Win64 ; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36”
192.XXX.X.X – – [24/Jun/2024:14:32:03 +0000] “GET /script.js HTTP/1.1” 200 7890 “https://www.example.com/index.html” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0 ; Win64 ; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36”
192.XXX.X.X – – [24/Jun/2024:14:32:04 +0000] “GET /images/logo.png HTTP/1.1” 200 1234 “https://www.example.com/index.html” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0 ; Win64 ; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36”
Breakdown of the log entry
Each line in the server log represents a single request made by a visitor to your website. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what each part means :
- IP Address : 192.XXX.X.X
- This is the IP address of the visitor’s device.
- User Identifier : – –
- These fields are typically used for user identification and authentication, which are not applicable here, hence the hyphens.
- Timestamp : [24/Jun/2024:14:32:01 +0000]
- The date and time of the request, including the timezone.
- Request Line : “GET /index.html HTTP/1.1”
- The request method (GET), the requested resource (/index.html), and the HTTP version (HTTP/1.1).
- Response Code : 200
- The HTTP status code indicates the result of the request (200 means OK).
- Response Size : 1024
- The size of the response in bytes.
- Referrer : “https://www.example.com/referrer.html“
- The URL of the referring page that led the visitor to the current page.
- User Agent : “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0 ; Win64 ; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36”
- Information about the visitor’s browser and operating system.
In the example above, there are multiple log entries for different resources (HTML page, CSS file, JavaScript file, and an image). This shows that when a visitor loads a webpage, multiple requests are made to load all the necessary resources.
What is web log analytics ?
Web log analytics is one of many methods for tracking visitors to your site.
Web log analytics is the process of analysing server log files to track and understand website visitors. Unlike traditional methods that use JavaScript tracking codes embedded in web pages, web log analytics pulls data directly from these server logs.
How it works :
- Visitor request : A visitor’s browser requests your website.
- Server logging : The server logs the request details.
- Analysis : These logs are analysed to extract useful information about your visitors and their activities.
Web log analytics vs. JavaScript tracking
JavaScript tracking
JavaScript tracking is the most common method used to track website visitors. It involves embedding a JavaScript code snippet into your web pages. This code collects data on visitor interactions and sends it to a web analytics platform.
Differences and benefits :
Privacy :
- Web log analytics : Since it doesn’t require embedding tracking codes, it is considered less intrusive and helps maintain higher privacy standards.
- JavaScript tracking : Embeds tracking codes directly on your website, which can be more invasive and raise privacy concerns.
Ease of setup :
- Web log analytics : No need to modify your website’s code. All you need is access to your server logs.
- JavaScript tracking : Requires adding tracking code on your web pages. This is generally an easier setup process.
Data collection :
- Web log analytics : Contain requests of users with adblockers (ghostery, adblock, adblock plus, privacy badger, etc.) sometimes making it more accurate. However, it may miss certain interactive elements like screen resolution or user events. It may also over-report data.
- JavaScript tracking : Can collect a wide range of data, including Custom dimensions, Ecommerce tracking, Heatmaps, Session recordings, Media and Form analytics, etc.
Why choose web log analytics ?
Enhanced privacy
Avoiding embedded tracking codes means there’s no JavaScript running on your visitors’ browsers. This significantly reduces the risk of data leakage and enhances overall privacy.
Comprehensive data collection
It isn’t affected by ad blockers or browser tracking protections, ensuring you capture more complete and accurate data about your visitors.
Historical data analysis
You can import and analyse historical log files, giving you insights into long-term visitor behaviour and trends.
Simple setup
Since it relies on server logs, there’s no need to alter your website’s code. This makes setup straightforward and minimises potential technical issues.
Who should use web log analytics ?
Web log analytics is particularly suited for businesses that prioritise data privacy and security.
Organisations that handle sensitive data, such as banks, healthcare providers, and government agencies, can benefit from the enhanced privacy.
By avoiding JavaScript tracking, these entities minimise data exposure and comply with strict privacy regulations like Sarbanes Oxley and PCI.
Why use Matomo for web log analytics ?
Matomo stands out as a top choice for web log analytics because it prioritises privacy and data ownership
Here’s why :
- Complete data control : You own all your data, so you don’t have to worry about third-party access.
- IP anonymisation : Matomo anonymises IP addresses to further protect user privacy.
- Bot filtering : Automatically excludes bots from your reports, ensuring you get accurate data.
- Simple migration : You can easily switch from other tools like AWStats by importing your historical logs into Matomo.
- Server log recognition : Recognises most server log formats (Apache, Nginx, IIS, etc.).
Start using web log analytics
Web log analytics offers a secure, privacy-focused alternative to traditional JavaScript tracking methods. By analysing server logs, you get valuable insights into your website traffic while maintaining high privacy standards.
If you’re serious about privacy and want reliable data, give Matomo’s web log analytics a try.

Linear Attribution Model : What Is It and How Does It Work ?
16 février 2024, par ErinWant a more in-depth way to understand the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns ? Then, the linear attribution model could be the answer.
Although you can choose from several different attribution models, a linear model is ideal for giving value to every touchpoint along the customer journey. It can help you identify your most effective marketing channels and optimise your campaigns.
So, without further ado, let’s explore what a linear attribution model is, when you should use it and how you can get started.
What is a linear attribution model ?
A linear attribution model is a multi-touch method of marketing attribution where equal credit is given to each touchpoint. Every marketing channel used across the entire customer journey gets credit, and each is considered equally important.
So, if a potential customer has four interactions before converting, each channel gets 25% of the credit.
Let’s look at how linear attribution works in practice using a hypothetical example of a marketing manager, Sally, who is looking for an alternative to Google Analytics.
Sally starts her conversion path by reading a Matomo article comparing Matomo to Google Analytics she finds when searching on Google. A few days later she signs up for a webinar she saw on Matomo’s LinkedIn page. Two weeks later, Sally gets a sign-off from her boss and decides to go ahead with Matomo. She visits the website and starts a free trial by clicking on one of the paid Google Ads.
Using a linear attribution model, we credit each of the channels Sally uses (organic traffic, organic social, and paid ads), ensuring no channel is overlooked in our marketing analysis.
Are there other types of attribution models ?
Absolutely. There are several common types of attribution models marketing managers can use to measure the impact of channels in different ways.
- First interaction : Also called a first-touch attribution model, this method gives all the credit to the first channel in the customer journey. This model is great for optimising the top of your sales funnel.
- Last interaction : Also called a last-touch attribution model, this approach gives all the credit to the last channel the customer interacts with. It’s a great model for optimising the bottom of your marketing funnel.
- Last non-direct interaction : This attribution model excludes direct traffic and credits the previous touchpoint. This is a fantastic alternative to a last-touch attribution model, especially if most customers visit your website before converting.
- Time decay attribution model : This model adjusts credit according to the order of the touchpoints. Those nearest the conversion get weighted the highest.
- Position-based attribution model : This model allocates 40% of the credit to the first and last touchpoints and splits the remaining 20% evenly between every other interaction.
Why use a linear attribution model ?
Marketing attribution is vital if you want to understand which parts of your marketing strategy are working. All of the attribution models described above can help you achieve this to some degree, but there are several reasons to choose a linear attribution model in particular.
It uses multi-touch attribution
Unlike single-touch attribution models like first and last interaction, linear attribution is a multi-touch attribution model that considers every touchpoint. This is vital to get a complete picture of the modern customer journey, where customers interact with companies between 20 and 500 times.
Single-touch attribution models can be misleading by giving conversion credit to a single channel, especially if it was the customer’s last use. In our example above, Sally’s last interaction with our brand was through a paid ad, but it was hardly the most important.
It’s easy to understand
Attribution models can be complicated, but linear attribution is easy to understand. Every touchpoint gets the same credit, allowing you to see how your entire marketing function works. This simplicity also makes it easy for marketers to take action.
It’s great for identifying effective marketing channels
Because linear attribution is one of the few models that provides a complete view of the customer journey, it’s easy to identify your most common and influential touchpoints.
It accounts for the top and bottom of your funnel, so you can also categorise your marketing channels more effectively and make more informed decisions. For example, PPC ads may be a more common bottom-of-the-full touchpoint and should, therefore, not be used to target broad, top-of-funnel search terms.
Are there any reasons not to use linear attribution ?
Linear attribution isn’t perfect. Like all attribution models, it has its weaknesses. Specifically, linear attribution can be too simple, dilute conversion credit and unsuitable for long sales cycles.
It can be too simple
Linear attribution lacks nuance. It only considers touchpoints while ignoring other factors like brand image and your competitors. This is true for most attribution models, but it’s still important to point it out.
It can dilute conversion credit
In reality, not every touchpoint impacts conversions to the same extent. In the example above, the social media post promoting the webinar may have been the most effective touchpoint, but we have no way of measuring this.
The risk with using a linear model is that credit can be underestimated and overestimated — especially if you have a long sales cycle.
It’s unsuitable for very long sales cycles
Speaking of long sales cycles, linear attribution models won’t add much value if your customer journey contains dozens of different touchpoints. Credit will get diluted to the point where analysis becomes impossible, and the model will also struggle to measure the precise ways certain touchpoints impact conversions.
Should you use a linear attribution model ?
A linear attribution model is a great choice for any company with shorter sales cycles or a reasonably straightforward customer journey that uses multiple marketing channels. In these cases, it helps you understand the contribution of each touchpoint and find your best channels.
It’s also a practical choice for small businesses and startups that don’t have a team of data scientists on staff or the budget to hire outside help. Because it’s so easy to set up and understand, anyone can start generating insights using this model.
How to set up a linear attribution model
Are you sold on the idea of using a linear attribution model ? Then follow the steps below to get started :
Choose a marketing attribution tool
Given the market is worth $3.1 billion, you won’t be surprised to learn there are plenty of tools to choose from. But choose carefully. The tool you pick can significantly impact your success with attribution modelling.
Take Google Analytics, for instance. While GA4 offers several marketing attribution models for free, including linear attribution, it lacks accuracy due to cookie consent rejection and data sampling.
Accurate marketing attribution is included as a feature in Matomo Cloud and is available as a plugin for Matomo On-Premise users. We support a full range of attribution models that use 100% accurate data because we don’t use data sampling, and cookie consent isn’t an issue (with the exception of Germany and the UK). That means you can trust our insights.
Matomo’s marketing attribution is available out of the box, and we also provide access to raw data, allowing you to develop your custom attribution model.
Collect data
The quality of your marketing attribution also depends on the quality and quantity of your data. It’s why you need to avoid a platform that uses data sampling.
This should include :
- General data from your analytics platform, like pages visited and forms filled
- Goals and conversions, which we’ll discuss in more detail in the next step
- Campaign tracking data so you can monitor the behaviour of traffic from different referral channels
- Behavioural data from features like Heatmaps or Session Recordings
Set up goals and conversions
You can’t assign conversion values to customer journey touchpoints if you don’t have conversion goals in place. That’s why the next step of the process is to set up conversion tracking in your web analytics platform.
Depending on your type of business and the product you sell, conversions could take one of the following forms :
- A product purchase
- Signing up for a webinar
- Downloading an ebook
- Filling in a form
- Starting a free trial
Setting up these kinds of goals is easy if you use Matomo.
Just head to the Goals section of the dashboard, click Manage Goals and then click the green Add A New Goal button.
Fill in the screen below, and add a Goal Revenue at the bottom of the page. Doing so will mean Matomo can automatically calculate the value of each touchpoint when using your attribution model.
If your analytics platform allows it, make sure you also set up Event Tracking, which will allow you to analyse how many users start to take a desired action (like filling in a form) but never complete the task.

Test and validate
As we’ve explained, linear attribution is a great model in some scenarios, but it can fall short if you have a long or complex sales funnel. Even if you’re sure it’s the right model for your company, testing and validating is important.
Ideally, your chosen attribution tool should make this process pretty straightforward. For example, Matomo’s Marketing Attribution feature makes comparing and contrasting three different attribution models easy.
Here we compare the performance of three attribution models—linear, first-touch, and last-non-direct—in Matomo’s Marketing Attribution dashboard, providing straightforward analysis.
If you think linear attribution accurately reflects the value of your channels, you can start to analyse the insights it generates. If not, then consider using another attribution model.
Don’t forget to take action from your marketing efforts, either. Linear attribution helps you spot the channels that contribute most to conversions, so allocate more resources to those channels and see if you can improve your conversion rate or boost your ROI.
Make the most of marketing attribution with Matomo
A linear attribution model lets you measure every touchpoint in your customer journey. It’s an easy attribution model to start with and lets you identify and optimise your most effective marketing channels.
However, accurate data is essential if you want to benefit the most from marketing attribution data. If your web analytics solution doesn’t play nicely with cookies or uses sampled data, then your linear model isn’t going to tell you the whole story.
That’s why over 1 million sites trust Matomo’s privacy-focused web analytics, ensuring accurate data for a comprehensive understanding of customer journeys.
