  • Is Google Analytics Accurate ? 6 Important Caveats

    8 novembre 2022, par Erin

    It’s no secret that accurate website analytics is crucial for growing your online business — and Google Analytics is often the go-to source for insights. 

    But is Google Analytics data accurate ? Can you fully trust the provided numbers ? Here’s a detailed explainer.

    How Accurate is Google Analytics ? A Data-Backed Answer 

    When properly configured, Google Analytics (Universal Analytics and Google Analytics 4) is moderately accurate for global traffic collection. That said : Google Analytics doesn’t accurately report European traffic. 

    According to GDPR provisions, sites using GA products must display a cookie consent banner. This consent is required to collect third-party cookies — a tracking mechanism for identifying users across web properties.

    Google Analytics (GA) cannot process data about the user’s visit if they rejected cookies. In such cases, your analytics reports will be incomplete.

    Cookie rejection refers to visitors declining or blocking cookies from ever being collected by a specific website (or within their browser). It immediately affects the accuracy of all metrics in Google Analytics.

    Google Analytics is not accurate in locations where cookie consent to tracking is legally required. Most consumers don’t like disruptive cookie banners or harbour concerns about their privacy — and chose to reject tracking. 

    This leaves businesses with incomplete data, which, in turn, results in : 

    • Lower traffic counts as you’re not collecting 100% of the visitor data. 
    • Loss of website optimisation capabilities. You can’t make data-backed decisions due to inconsistent reporting

    For the above reasons, many companies now consider cookieless website tracking apps that don’t require consent screen displays. 

    Why is Google Analytics Not Accurate ? 6 Causes and Solutions 

    A high rejection rate of cookie banners is the main reason for inaccurate Google Analytics reporting. In addition, your account settings can also hinder Google Analytics’ accuracy.

    If your analytics data looks wonky, check for these six Google Analytics accuracy problems. 

    You Need to Secure Consent to Cookies Collection 

    To be GDPR-compliant, you must display a cookie consent screen to all European users. Likewise, other jurisdictions and industries require similar measures for user data collection. 

    This is a nuisance for many businesses since cookie rejection undermines their remarketing capabilities. Hence, some try to maximise cookie acceptance rates with dark patterns. For example : hide the option to decline tracking or make the texts too small. 

    Cookie consent banner examples
    Banner on the left doesn’t provide an evident option to reject all cookies and nudges the user to accept tracking. Banner on the right does a better job explaining the purpose of data collection and offers a straightforward yes/no selection

    Sadly, not everyone’s treating users with respect. A joint study by German and American researchers found that only 11% of US websites (from a sample of 5,000+) use GDPR-compliant cookie banners.

    As a result, many users aren’t aware of the background data collection to which they have (or have not) given consent. Another analysis of 200,000 cookies discovered that 70% of third-party marketing cookies transfer user data outside of the EU — a practice in breach of GDPR.

    Naturally, data regulators and activities are after this issue. In April 2022, Google was pressured to introduce a ‘reject all’ cookies button to all of its products (a €150 million compliance fine likely helped with that). Whereas, noyb has lodged over 220 complaints against individual websites with deceptive cookie consent banners.

    The takeaway ? Messing up with the cookie consent mechanism can get you in legal trouble. Don’t use sneaky banners as there are better ways to collect website traffic statistics. 

    Solution : Try Matomo GDPR-Friendly Analytics 

    Fill in the gaps in your traffic analytics with Matomo – a fully GDPR-compliant product that doesn’t rely on third-party cookies for tracking web visitors. Because of how it is designed, the French data protection authority (CNIL) confirmed that Matomo can be used to collect data without tracking consent.

    With Matomo, you can track website users without asking for cookie consent. And when you do, we supply you with a compact, compliant, non-disruptive cookie banner design. 

    Your Google Tag Isn’t Embedded Correctly 

    Google Tag (gtag.js) is a web tracking script that sends data to your Google Analytics, Google Ads and Google Marketing Platform.

    A corrupted gtag.js installation can create two accuracy issues : 

    • Duplicate page tracking 
    • Missing script installation 

    Is there a way to tell if you’re affected ?

    Yes. You may have duplicate scripts installed if you have a very low bounce rate on most website pages (below 15% – 20%). The above can happen if you’re using a WordPress GA plugin and additionally embed gtag.js straight in your website code. 

    A tell-tale sign of a missing script on some pages is low/no traffic stats. Google alerts you about this with a banner : 

    Google Analytics alerts

    Solution : Use Available Troubleshooting Tools 

    Use Google Analytics Debugger extension to analyse pages with low bounce rates. Use the search bar to locate duplicate code-tracking elements. 

    Alternatively, you can use Google Tag Assistant for diagnosing snippet install and troubleshooting issues on individual pages. 

    If the above didn’t work, re-install your analytics script

    Machine Learning and Blended Data Are Applied

    Google Analytics 4 (GA4) relies a lot on machine learning and algorithmic predictions.

    By applying Google’s advanced machine learning models, the new Analytics can automatically alert you to significant trends in your data. [...] For example, it calculates churn probability so you can more efficiently invest in retaining customers.

    On the surface, the above sounds exciting. In practice, Google’s application of predictive algorithms means you’re not seeing actual data. 

    To offer a variation of cookieless tracking, Google algorithms close the gaps in reporting by creating models (i.e., data-backed predictions) instead of reporting on actual user behaviours. Therefore, your GA4 numbers may not be accurate.

    For bigger web properties (think websites with 1+ million users), Google also relies on data sampling — a practice of extrapolating data analytics, based on a data subset, rather than the entire dataset. Once again, this can lead to inconsistencies in reporting with some numbers (e.g., average conversion rates) being inflated or downplayed. 

    Solution : Try an Alternative Website Analytics App 

    Unlike GA4, Matomo reports consist of 100% unsampled data. All the aggregated reporting you see is based on real user data (not guesstimation). 

    Moreover, you can migrate from Universal Analytics (UA) to Matomo without losing access to your historical records. GA4 doesn’t yet have any backward compatibility.

    Spam and Bot Traffic Isn’t Filtered Out 

    Surprise ! 42% of all Internet traffic is generated by bots, of which 27.7% are bad ones.

    Good bots (aka crawlers) do essential web “housekeeping” tasks like indexing web pages. Bad bots distribute malware, spam contact forms, hack user accounts and do other nasty stuff. 

    A lot of such spam bots are designed specifically for web analytics apps. The goal ? Flood your dashboard with bogus data in hopes of getting some return action from your side. 

    Types of Google Analytics Spam :

    • Referral spam. Spambots hijack the referrer, displayed in your GA referral traffic report to indicate a page visit from some random website (which didn’t actually occur). 
    • Event spam. Bots generate fake events with free language entries enticing you to visit their website. 
    • Ghost traffic spam. Malicious parties can also inject fake pageviews, containing URLs that they want you to click. 

    Obviously, such spammy entities distort the real website analytics numbers. 

    Solution : Set Up Bot/Spam Filters 

    Google Analytics 4 has automatic filtering of bot traffic enabled for all tracked Web and App properties. 

    But if you’re using Universal Analytics, you’ll have to manually configure spam filtering. First, create a new view and then set up a custom filter. Program it to exclude :

    • Filter Field : Request URI
    • Filter Pattern : Bot traffic URL

    Once you’ve configured everything, validate the results using Verify this filter feature. Then repeat the process for other fishy URLs, hostnames and IP addresses. 

    You Don’t Filter Internal Traffic 

    Your team(s) spend a lot of time on your website — and their sporadic behaviours can impair your traffic counts and other website metrics.

    To keep your data “employee-free”, exclude traffic from : 

    • Your corporate IPs addresses 
    • Known personal IPs of employees (for remote workers) 

    If you also have a separate stage version of your website, you should also filter out all traffic coming from it. Your developers, contractors and marketing people spend a lot of time fiddling with your website. This can cause a big discrepancy in average time on page and engagement rates. 

    Solution : Set Internal Traffic Filters 

    Google provides instructions for excluding internal traffic from your reports using IPv4/IPv6 address filters. 

    Google Analytics IP filters

    Session Timeouts After 30 Minutes 

    After 30 minutes of inactivity, Google Analytics tracking sessions start over. Inactivity means no recorded interaction hits during this time. 

    Session timeouts can be a problem for some websites as users often pin a tab to check it back later. Because of this, you can count the same user twice or more — and this leads to skewed reporting. 

    Solution : Programme Custom Timeout Sessions

    You can codify custom cookie timeout sessions with the following code snippets : 

    Final Thoughts 

    Thanks to its scale and longevity, Google Analytics has some strong sides, but its data accuracy isn’t 100% perfect.

    The inability to capture analytics data from users who don’t consent to cookie tracking and data sampling applied to bigger web properties may be a deal-breaker for your business. 

    If that’s the case, try Matomo — a GDPR-compliant, accurate web analytics solution. Start your 21-day free trial now. No credit card required.

  • How to Conduct a Customer Journey Analysis (Step-by-Step)

    9 mai 2024, par Erin

    Your customers are everything.

    Treat them right, and you can generate recurring revenue for years. Treat them wrong ; you’ll be spinning your wheels and dealing with churn.

    How do you give your customers the best experience possible so they want to stick around ?

    Improve their customer experience.

    How ?

    By conducting a customer journey analysis.

    When you know how your customers experience your business, you can improve it to meet and exceed customer expectations.

    In this guide, we’ll break down how the customer journey works and give you a step-by-step guide to conduct a thorough customer journey analysis so you can grow your brand.

    What is a customer journey analysis ?

    Every customer you’ve ever served went on a journey to find you.

    From the moment they first heard of you, to the point that they became a customer. 

    Everything in between is the customer journey.

    A customer journey analysis is how you track and analyse how your customers use different channels to interact with your brand.

    What is a customer journey analysis?

    Analysing your customer journey involves identifying the customer’s different touchpoints with your business so you can understand how it impacts their experience. 

    This means looking at every moment they interacted with your brand before, during and after a sale to help you gain actionable insights into their experience and improve it to reach your business objectives.

    Your customers go through specific customer touchpoints you can track. By analysing this customer journey from a bird’s eye view, you can get a clear picture of the entire customer experience.

    4 benefits of customer journey analysis

    Before we dive into the different steps involved in a customer journey analysis, let’s talk about why it’s vital to analyse the customer journey.

    By regularly analysing your customer journey, you’ll be able to improve the entire customer experience with practical insights, allowing you to :

    Understand your customers better

    What’s one key trait all successful businesses have ?

    They understand their customers.

    By analysing your customer journey regularly, you’ll gain new insights into their wants, needs, desires and behaviours, allowing you to serve them better. These insights will show you what led them to buy a product (or not).

    For example, through conducting a customer journey analysis, a company might find out that customers who come from LinkedIn are more likely to buy than those coming from Facebook.

    Find flaws in your customer journey

    Nobody wants to hear they have flaws. But the reality is your customer journey likely has a few flaws you could improve.

    By conducting customer journey analysis consistently, you’ll be able to pinpoint precisely where you’re losing prospects along the way. 

    For example, you may discover you’re losing customers through Facebook Ads. Or you may find your email strategy isn’t as good as it used to be.

    But it’s not just about the channel. It could be a transition between two channels. For example, you may have great engagement on Instagram but are not converting them into email subscribers. The issue may be that your transition between the two channels has a leak.

    Or you may find that prospects using certain devices (i.e., mobile, tablet, desktop) have lower conversions. This might be due to design and formatting issues across different devices.

    By looking closely at your customer journey and the different customer touchpoints, you’ll see issues preventing prospects from turning into leads or customers from returning to buy again as loyal customers.

    Gain insights into how you can improve your brand

    Your customer journey analysis won’t leave you with a list of problems. Instead, you’ll have a list of opportunities.

    Since you’ll be able to better understand your customers and where they’re falling off the sales funnel, you’ll have new insights into how you can improve the experience and grow your brand.

    For example, maybe you notice that your visitors are getting stuck at one stage of the customer journey and you’re trying to find out why.

    So, you leverage Matomo’s heatmaps, sessions recordings and scroll depth to find out more.

    In the case below, we can see that Matomo’s scroll map is showing that only 65% of the visitors are reaching the main call to action (to write a review). 

    Scroll depth screenshot in Matomo displaying lack of clicks to CTA button

    To try to push for higher conversions and get more reviews, we could consider moving that button higher up on the page, ideally above the fold.

    Rather than guessing what’s preventing conversions, you can use user behaviour analytics to “step in our user’s shoes” so you can optimise faster and with confidence.

    Grow your revenue

    By taking charge of your customer journey, you can implement different strategies that will help you increase your reach, gain more prospects, convert more prospects into customers and turn regulars into loyal customers.

    Using customer journey analysis will help you optimise those different touchpoints to maximise the ROI of your channels and get the most out of each marketing activity you implement.

    7 steps to conduct a customer journey analysis

    Now that you know the importance of conducting a customer journey analysis regularly, let’s dive into how to implement an analysis.

    Here are the seven steps you can take to analyse the customer journey to improve your customer experience :

    7 steps to conduct a customer journey analysis.

    1. Map out your customer journey

    Your first step to conducting an effective customer journey analysis is to map your entire customer journey.

    Customer journey mapping means looking at several factors :

    • Buying process
    • Customer actions
    • Buying emotions
    • Buying pain points
    • Solutions

    Once you have an overview of your customer journey maps, you’ll gain insights into your customers, their interests and how they interact with your brand. 

    After this, it’s time to dive into the touchpoints.

    2. Identify all the customer touchpoints 

    To improve your customer journey, you need to know every touchpoint a customer can (and does) make with your brand.

    This means taking note of every single channel and medium they use to communicate with your brand :

    • Website
    • Social media
    • Search engines (SEO)
    • Email marketing
    • Paid advertising
    • And more

    Essentially, anywhere you communicate and interact with your customers is fair game to analyse.

    If you want to analyse your entire sales funnel, you can try Matomo, a privacy-friendly web analytics tool. 

    You should make sure to split up your touchpoints into different customer journey stages :

    • Awareness
    • Consideration
    • Conversion
    • Advocacy

    Then, it’s time to move on to how customers interact on these channels.

    No credit card required

    3. Measure how customers interact on each channel

    To understand the customer journey, you can’t just know where your customers interact with you. You end up learning how they’re interacting.

    This is only possible by measuring customer interactions.

    How ?

    By using a web analytics tool like Matomo.

    With Matomo, you can track every customer action on your website.

    This means anytime they :

    • Visit your website
    • View a web page
    • Click a link
    • Fill out a form
    • Purchase a product
    • View different media
    • And more

    You should analyse your engagement on your website, apps and other channels, like email and social media.

    4. Implement marketing attribution

    Now that you know where your customers are and how they interact, it’s time to analyse the effectiveness of each channel based on your conversion rates.

    Implementing marketing attribution (or multi-touch attribution) is a great way to do this.

    Attribution is how you determine which channels led to a conversion.

    While single-touch attribution models credit one channel for a conversion, marketing attribution gives credit to a few channels.

    For example, let’s say Bob is looking for a new bank. He sees an Instagram post and finds himself on HSBC’s website. After looking at a few web pages, he attends a webinar hosted by HSBC on financial planning and investment strategies. One week later, he gets an email from HSBC following up on the webinar. Then, he decides to sign up for HSBC’s online banking.

    Single touch attribution would attribute 100% of the conversion to email, which doesn’t show the whole picture. Marketing attribution would credit all channels : social media, website content, webinars and email.

    Matomo offers multiple attribution models. These models leverage different weighting factors, like time decay or linear, so that you can allocate credit to each touchpoint based on its impact.

    Matomo’s multi-touch attribution reports give you in-depth insights into how revenue is distributed across different channels. These detailed reports help you analyse each channel’s contribution to revenue generation so you can optimise the customer journey and improve business outcomes.

    5. Use a funnels report to find where visitors are leaving

    Once you set up your marketing attribution, it’s time to analyse where visitors are falling off.

    You can leverage Matomo funnels to find out the conversion rate at each step of the journey on your website. Funnel reports can help you see exactly where visitors are falling through the cracks so you can increase conversions.

    6. Analyse why visitors aren’t converting

    Once you can see where visitors are leaving, you can start to understand why.

    For example, let’s say you analyse your funnels report in Matomo and see your landing page is experiencing the highest level of drop-offs.

    Screenshot of Forms Overview report in Matomo's Form Analytics feature

    You can also use form analytics to find out why users aren’t converting on your landing pages – a crucial part of the customer journey.

    7. A/B test to improve the customer journey

    The final step to improve your customer journey is to conduct A/B tests. These are tests where you test one version of a landing page to see which one converts better, drives more traffic, or generates more revenue.

    For example, you could create two versions of a header on your website and drive 50% of your traffic to each version. Then, once you’ve got your winner, you can keep that as your new landing page.

    Screenshot of A/B testing report in Matomo

    Using the data from your A/B tests, you can optimise your customer journey to help convert more prospects into customers.

    Use Matomo to improve your customer journey analysis

    Now that you understand why it’s important to conduct customer journey analysis regularly and how it works, it’s time to put this into practice.

    To improve the customer journey, you need to understand what’s happening at each stage of your funnel. 

    Matomo gives you insights into your customer journey so you can improve website performance and convert more visitors into customers.

    Used by over 1 million websites, Matomo is the leading privacy-friendly web analytics solution in the world.

  • Web Analytics Reports : 10 Key Types and How to Use Them

    29 janvier 2024, par Erin

    You can’t optimise your website to drive better results if you don’t know how visitors are engaging with your site.

    But how do you correctly analyse data and identify patterns ? With the right platform, you can use a wide range of web analytics reports to dive deep into the data.

    In this article, we’ll discuss what website analytics reports are, different types, why you need them, and how to use reports to find the insights you need.

    What is web analytics ?

    Website analytics is the process of gathering, processing, and analysing data that shows what users are doing when they visit your website. 

    You typically achieve this with web analytics tools by adding a tracking code that shares data with the analytics platform when someone visits the site.

    Illustration of how website analytics works

    The visitors trigger the tracking code, which collects data on how they act while on your site and then sends that information to the analytics platform. You can then see the data in your analytics solution and create reports based on this data.

    While there are a lot of web analytics solutions available, this article will specifically demonstrate reports using Matomo.

    What are web analytics reports ?

    Web analytics reports are analyses that focus on specific data points within your analytics platform. 

    For example, this channel report in Matomo shows the top referring channels of a website.

    Channel types report in Matomo analytics

    Your marketing team can use this report to determine which channels drive the best results. In the example above, organic search drives almost double the visits and actions of social campaigns. 

    If you’re investing the same amount of money, you’d want to move more of your budget from social to search.

    Why you need to get familiar with specific web analytics reports

    The default web analytics dashboard offers an overview of high-level trends in performance. However, it usually does not give you specific insights that can help you optimise your marketing campaigns.

    For example, you can see that your conversions are down month over month. But, at a glance, you do not understand why that is.

    To understand why, you need to go granular and wider — looking into qualifying data that separates different types of visitors from each other.

    Gartner predicts that 70% of organisations will focus on “small and wide” data by 2025 over “big data.” Most companies lack the data volume to simply let big data and algorithms handle the optimising.

    What you can do instead is dive deep into each visitor. Figure out how they engage with your site, and then you can adjust your campaigns and page content accordingly.

    Common types of web analytics reports

    There are dozens of different web analytics reports, but they usually fall into four separate categories :

    Diagram that illustrates the main types of web analytics reports
    • Referral sources : These reports show where your visitors come from. They range from channel reports — search, social media — to specific campaigns and ads.
    • Engagement (on-site actions) : These reports dive into what visitors are doing on your site. They break down clicks, scrolling, completed conversion goals, and more.
    • E-commerce performance : These reports show the performance of your e-commerce store. They’ll help you dive into the sales of individual products, trends in cart abandonment and more.
    • Demographics : These reports help you understand more about your visitors — where they’re visiting from, their browser language, device, and more.

    You can even combine insights across all four using audience segmentation and custom reports. (We’ll cover this in more detail later.)

    How to use 10 important website analytics reports

    The first step is to install the website analytics code on your website. (We include more detailed information in our guide on how to track website visitors.)

    Then, you need to wait until you have a few days (or, if you have limited traffic, a few weeks) of data. Without sufficient website visitor data, none of the reports will be meaningful.

    Visitor Overview report

    First, let’s take a look at the Visitor Overview report. It’s a general report that breaks down the visits over a given time period.

    Visitor overview report in Matomo

    What this report shows :

    • Trends in unique visits month over month
    • Basic engagement trends like the average visit length and bounce rate
    • The number of actions taken per page

    In general, this report is more of a high-level indicator you can use to explore certain areas more thoroughly. For example, if most of your traffic comes from organic traffic or social media, you can dive deeper into those channels.

    Location report

    Next up, we have the most basic type of demographic report — the Location report. It shows where your visitors tend to access your website from.

    Location report in Matomo

    What this report shows :

    • The country, state or city your visitors access your website from

    This report is most useful for identifying regional trends. You may notice that your site is growing in popularity in a country. You can take advantage of this by creating a regional campaign to double down on a high performing audience.

    Device report

    Next, we have the Device report, which breaks down your visitors’ devices.

    Device report in Matomo analytics

    What this report shows :

    • Overall device types used by your visitors
    • Specific device models used

    Today, most websites are responsive or use mobile-first design. So, just seeing that many people access your site through smartphones probably isn’t all that surprising.

    But you should ensure your responsive design doesn’t break down on popular devices. The design may not work effectively because many phones have different screen resolutions. 

    Users Flow report

    The Users Flow report dives deeper into visitor engagement — how your visitors act on your site. It shows common landing pages — the first page visitors land on — and how they usually navigate your site from there.

    Users flow report in Matomo analytics

    What this report shows :

    • Popular landing pages
    • How your visitors most commonly navigate your site

    You can use this report to determine which intermediary pages are crucial to keeping visitors engaged. For example, you can prioritise optimisation and rewriting for case study pages that don’t get a lot of direct search or campaign traffic.

    Improving this flow can improve conversion rates and the impact of your marketing efforts.

    Exit Pages report

    The Exit Pages report complements the Users Flow report well. It highlights the most common pages visitors leave your website from.

    Exit pages report in Matomo analytics

    What this report shows :

    • The most common exit pages on your website
    • The exit rates of these pages

    Pages with high exit rates fall into two categories. The first are pages where it makes sense that visitors leave, like a post-purchase thank-you page. The second are pages where you’d want your visitors to stay and keep flowing down the funnel. When the rates are unusually high on product pages, category pages, or case study pages, you may have found a problem.

    By combining insights from the Users Flow and Exit Pages reports, you can find valuable candidates for optimisation. This is a key aspect of effective conversion rate optimisation.

    Traffic Acquisition Channel report

    The Acquisition Channels report highlights the channels that drive the most visitors to your site.

    Acquisition report in Matomo analytics

    What this report shows :

    • Top referring traffic sources by channel type
    • The average time on site, bounce rates, and actions taken by the source

    Because of increasingly privacy-sensitive browsers and apps, the best way to reliably track traffic sources is to use campaign tracking URL. Matomo offers an easy-to-use campaign tracking URL builder to simplify this process.

    Search Engines and Keywords report

    The Search Engines and Keywords report shows which keywords are driving the most organic search traffic and from what search engines.

    Search engine keyword report in Matomo analytics

    What this report shows :

    • Search engine keywords that drive traffic
    • The different search engines that refer visitors

    One of the best ways to use this report is to identify low-hanging fruit. You want to find keywords driving some traffic where your page isn’t ranked in the top three results.
