  • 10 Matomo Features You Possibly Didn’t Know About

    28 octobre 2022, par Erin

    Most users know Matomo as the privacy-focussed web analytics tool with data accuracy, superior to Google Analytics. 

    And we’re thrilled to be that — and more ! 

    At Matomo, our underlying product vision is to provide a full stack of accurate, user-friendly and privacy-mindful online marketing tools. 

    Over the years, we’ve expanded beyond baseline website statistics. Matomo Cloud users also get to benefit from additional powerful tools for audience segmentation, conversion optimisation, advanced event tracking and more. 

    Here are the top 10 advanced Matomo features you wish you knew about earlier (but won’t stop using now !). 

    Funnels

    At first glance, most customer journeys look sporadic. But every marketer will tell you that there is a method to almost every users’ madness. Or more precisely — there’s a method you can use to guide users towards conversions. 

    That’s called a customer journey — a schematic set of steps and actions people complete from developing awareness and interest in your solution to consideration and finally conversion.

    On average, 8 touchpoints are required to turn a prospect into a customer. Though the number can be significantly bigger in B2B sales and smaller for B2C Ecommerce websites. 

    With the Funnels feature, you can first map all the on-site touchpoints (desired actions) for different types of customers. Then examine the results you’re getting as prospects move through these checkbox steps.

    Funnel reports provide :

    • High-level metrics such as “Funnel conversion rate”, “Number of funnel conversions”, “Number of funnel entries”. 
    • Drilled-down reports for each funnel and each tracked action within it. This way you can track the success rates of each step and estimate their contribution to the cumulative effect.

    Segmented funnel reports for specific user cohorts (with Matomo Segmentation enabled).

    Funnels Report Matomo

    What makes funnels so fun (pun intended) ? The variety of use cases and configurations ! 

    You can build funnels to track conversion rates for :

    • Newsletter subscriptions
    • Job board applications 
    • Checkout or payment 
    • Product landing pages
    • Seasonal promo campaigns

    …. And pretty much any other page where users must complete a meaningful action. So go test this out. 

    Form Analytics

    On-site forms are a 101 tactic for lead generation. For most service businesses, a “contact request” or a “booking inquiry” submission means a new lead in your pipeline. 

    That said : the average on-site form conversion rates across industries stand at below 50% : 

    • Property – 37% 
    • Telecoms – 40%
    • Software — 46.83%

    That’s not bad, but it could be better. If only you could figure out why people abandon your forms….

    Oh wait, Matomo Form Analytics can supply you with answers. Form Analytics provide real-time information on key form metrics — total views, starter rate, submitter rate, conversions and more.

    Separately the average form hesitation time is also provided (in other words, the time a user contemplates if filling in a form is worth the effort). Plus, Matomo also tracks the time spent on form submission.

    You can review : 

    • Top drop-off fields – to understand where you are losing prospects. These fields should either be removed or simplified (e.g., with a dropdown menu) to increase conversions.
    • Most corrected-field – this will provide a clear indication of where your prospects are struggling with a form. Providing help text can simplify the process and increase conversions. 
    • Unesserary fields – with this metric, you’ll know which optional fields your leads aren’t interested in filling in and can remove them to help drive conversions. 

    With Form Analytics, you’ll be able to boost conversions and create a better on-site experience with accurate user data. 

    A/B testing

    Marketing is both an art and a science. A/B testing (or split testing) helps you statistically verify which creative ideas perform better. 

    A good conversion rate optimisation (CRO) practice is to test different elements and to do so often to find your top contenders.

    What can you split test ? Loads of things :

    • Page slogans and call-to-actions 
    • Button or submission form placements
    • Different landing page designs and layouts
    • Seasonal promo offers and banners
    • Pricing information 
    • Customer testimonial placements 

    More times than not, those small changes in page design or copy can lead to a double-digit lift in conversion rates. Accounting software Sage saw a 30% traffic boost after changing the homepage layout, copy and CTAs based on split test data. Depositphotos, in turn, got a 9.32% increase in account registration rate (CR) after testing a timed pop-up registration form. 

    The wrinkle ? A/B testing software isn’t exactly affordable, with tools averaging $119 – $1,995 per month. Plus, you then have to integrate a third-party tool with your website analytics for proper attribution — and this can get messy.

    Matomo saves you the hassle in both cases. An A/B testing tool is part of your Cloud subscription and plays nicely with other features — goal tracking, heatmaps, historic visitor profiles and more. 

    You can run split tests with Matomo on your websites or mobile apps — and find out if version A, B, C or D is the top performer. 

    Conversions Report Matomo

    Advertising Conversion Exports

    A well-executed search marketing or banner remarketing campaign can drive heaps of traffic to your website. But the big question is : How much of it will convert ?

    The AdTech industry has a major problem with proper attribution and, because of it, with ad fraud. 

    Globally, digital ad fraud will cost advertisers a hefty $8 billion by the end of 2022. That’s when another $74 million in ad budgets get wasted per quarter. 

    The reasons for ad budget waste may vary, but they often have a common denominator : lack of reliable conversion tracking data.

    Matomo helps you get a better sense of how you spend your cents with Advertising Conversion Reports. Unlike other MarTech analytics tools, you don’t need to embed any third-party advertising network trackers into your website or compromise user privacy.

    Instead, you can easily export accurate conversion data from Matomo (either manually via a CSV file or automated with an HTTPS link) into your Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising or Yandex Ads for cross-validation. This way you can get an objective view of the performance of different campaigns and optimise your budget allocations accordingly. 

    Find out more about tracking ad campaigns with Matomo.

    Matomo Tag Manager

    The marketing technology landscape is close to crossing 10,000 different solutions. Cross-platform advertising trackers and all sorts of customer data management tools comprise the bulk of that growing stack. 

    Remember : Each new tool embed adds extra “weight” to your web page. More tracking scripts equal slower page loading speed — and more frustration for your users. Likewise, extra embeds often means dialling up the developer (which takes time). Or tinkering with the site code yourself (which can result in errors and still raise the need to call a developer). 

    With Tag Manager, you can easily generate tags for :

    • Custom analytics reports 
    • Newsletter signups
    • Affiliates 
    • Form submission tracking 
    • Exit popups and surveys
    • Ads and more

    With Matomo Tag Manager, you can monitor, update or delete everything from one convenient interface. Finally, you can programme custom triggers — conditions when the tag gets activated — and specify data points (variables) it should collect. The latter is a great choice for staying privacy-focused and excluding any sensitive user information from processing. 

    With our tag management system (TMS), no rogue tags will mess up your analytics or conversion tracking. 

    Session recordings

    User experience (UX) plays a pivotal role in your conversion rates. 

    A five-year McKinsey study of 300 publicly listed companies found that companies with strong design practices have 32 percentage points higher revenue growth than their peers. 

    But what makes up a great website design and browsing experience ? Veteran UX designers name seven qualities :

    Source : Semantic Studios

    To figure out if your website meets all these criteria, you can use Session Recording — a tool for recording how users interact with your website. 

    By observing clicks, mouse moves, scrolls and form interactions you can determine problematic website design areas such as poor header navigation, subpar button placements or “boring” blocks of text. 

    Such observational studies are a huge part of the UX research process because they provide unbiased data on interaction. Or as Nielsen Norman Group puts it :

    “The way to get user data boils down to the basic rules of usability :

    • Watch what people actually do.
    • Do not believe what people say they do.
    • Definitely don’t believe what people predict they may do in the future.” 

    Most user behaviour analytics tools sell such functionality for a fee. With Matomo Cloud, this feature is included in your subscription. 

    Heatmaps

    While Session Replays provide qualitative insights, Heatmaps supply you with first-hand qualitative insights. Instead of individual user browsing sessions, you get consolidated data on where they click and how they scroll through your website. 

    Heatmaps Matomo

    Heatmaps are another favourite among UX designers and their CRO peers because you can :

    • Validate earlier design decisions around information architecture, page layout, button placements and so on. 
    • Develop new design hypotheses based on stats and then translate them into website design improvements. 
    • Identify distractive no-click elements that confuse users and remove them to improve conversions. 
    • Locate problematic user interface (UI) areas on specific devices or operating systems and improve them for a seamless experience.

    To get even more granular results, you can apply up to 100 Matomo segments to drill down on specific user groups, geographies or devices. 

    This way you can make data-based decisions for A/B testing, updating or redesigning your website pages. 

    Custom Alerts

    When it comes to your website, you don’t want to miss anything big — be it your biggest sales day or a sudden nosedive in traffic. 

    That’s when Custom Alerts come in handy. 

    Matomo Custom Alerts

    With a few clicks, you can set up email or text-based alerts about important website metrics. Once you hit that metric, Matomo will send a ping. 

    You can also set different types of Custom Alerts for your teams. For example, your website administrator can get alerted about critical technical performance issues such as a sudden spike in traffic. It can indicate a DDoS attack (in the worst case) — and timely resolution is crucial here. Or suggest that your website is going viral and you might need to provision extra computing resources to ensure optimal site performance.

    Your sales team, in turn, can get alerted about new form submissions, so that they can quickly move on to lead scoring and subsequent follow-ups. 

    Use cases are plentiful with this feature. 

    Custom Dashboards and Reports

    Did you know you can get a personalised view of the main Matomo dashboards ? 

    By design, we made different website stats available as separate widgets. Hence, you can cherry-pick which stats get a prominent spot. Moreover, you can create and embed custom widgets into your Matomo dashboard to display third-party insights (e.g., POS data).

    Set up custom dashboard views for different teams, business stakeholders or clients to keep them in the loop on relevant website metrics. 

    Custom Reports feature, in turn, lets you slice and dice your traffic analytics the way you please. You can combine up to three different data dimensions per report and then add any number of supported metrics to get a personalised analytics report.

    For example, to zoom in on your website performance in a specific target market you can apply “location” (e.g., Germany) and “action type” (e.g., app downloads) dimensions and then get segmented data on metrics such as total visits, conversion rates, revenue and more. 

    Get to know even more ways to customise Matomo deployment.

    Roll Up Report

    Need to get aggregated traffic analytics from multiple web properties, but not ready to pay $150K per year for Google Analytics 360 for that ?

    We’ve got you with Roll-Up Reporting. You can get a 360-degree view into important KPIs like global revenue, conversion rates or form performance across multiple websites, online stores, mobile apps and even Intranet properties.

    Roll-Up-Reporting in Matomo

    Setting up this feature takes minutes, but saves you hours on manually exporting and cross-mapping data from different web analytics tools. 

    Channel all those saved hours into more productive things like increasing your conversion rates or boosting user engagement

    Avoid Marketing Tool Sprawl with Matomo 

    With Matomo as your website analytics and conversion optimisation app, you don’t need to switch between different systems, interfaces or have multiple tracking codes embedded on your site.

    And you don’t need to cultivate a disparate (and expensive !) MarTech tool stack — and then figure out if each of your tools is compliant with global privacy laws.

    All the tools you need are conveniently housed under one roof.

  • Data Privacy in Business : A Risk Leading to Major Opportunities

    9 août 2022, par Erin — Privacy

    Data privacy in business is a contentious issue. 

    Claims that “big data is the new oil of the digital economy” and strong links between “data-driven personalisation and customer experience” encourage leaders to set up massive data collection programmes.

    However, many of these conversations downplay the magnitude of security, compliance and ethical risks companies face when betting too much on customer data collection. 

    In this post, we discuss the double-edged nature of privacy issues in business — the risk-ridden and the opportunity-driven. ​​

    3 Major Risks of Ignoring Data Privacy in Business

    As the old adage goes : Just because everyone else is doing it doesn’t make it right.

    Easy data accessibility and ubiquity of analytics tools make data consumer collection and processing sound like a “given”. But the decision to do so opens your business to a spectrum of risks. 

    1. Compliance and Legal Risks 

    Data collection and customer privacy are protected by a host of international laws including GDPR, CCPA, and regional regulations. Only 15% of countries (mostly developing ones) don’t have dedicated laws for protecting consumer privacy. 

    State of global data protection legislature via The UN

    Global legislature includes provisions on : 

    • Collectible data types
    • Allowed uses of obtained data 
    • Consent to data collection and online tracking 
    • Rights to request data removal 

    Personally identifiable information (PII) processing is prohibited or strictly regulated in most jurisdictions. Yet businesses repeatedly circumnavigate existing rules and break them on occasion.

    In Australia, for example, only 2% of brands use logos, icons or messages to transparently call out online tracking, data sharing or other specific uses of data at the sign-up stage. In Europe, around half of small businesses are still not fully GDPR-compliant — and Big Tech companies like Google, Amazon and Facebook can’t get a grip on their data collection practices even when pressed with horrendous fines. 

    Although the media mostly reports on compliance fines for “big names”, smaller businesses are increasingly receiving more scrutiny. 

    As Max Schrems, an Austrian privacy activist and founder of noyb NGO, explained in a Matomo webinar :

    “In Austria, my home country, there are a lot of €5,000 fines going out there as well [to smaller businesses]. Most of the time, they are just not reported. They just happen below the surface. [GDPR fines] are already a reality.”​

    In April 2022, the EU Court of Justice ruled that consumer groups can autonomously sue businesses for breaches of data protection — and nonprofit organisations like noyb enable more people to do so. 

    Finally, new data privacy legislation is underway across the globe. In the US, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and Utah have data protection acts at different stages of approval. South African authorities are working on the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI) act and Brazil is working on a local General Data Protection Law (LGPD).

    Re-thinking your stance on user privacy and data protection now can significantly reduce the compliance burden in the future. 

    2. Security Risks 

    Data collection also mandates data protection for businesses. Yet, many organisations focus on the former and forget about the latter. 

    Lenient attitudes to consumer data protection resulted in a major spike in data breaches.

    Check Point research found that cyberattacks increased 50% year-over-year, with each organisation facing 925 cyberattacks per week globally.

    Many of these attacks end up being successful due to poor data security in place. As a result, billions of stolen consumer records become publicly available or get sold on dark web marketplaces.

    What’s even more troublesome is that stolen consumer records are often purchased by marketing firms or companies, specialising in spam campaigns. Buyers can also use stolen emails to distribute malware, stage phishing and other social engineering attacks – and harvest even more data for sale. 

    One business’s negligence creates a snowball effect of negative changes down the line with customers carrying the brunt of it all. 

    In 2020, hackers successfully targeted a Finnish psychotherapy practice. They managed to steal hundreds of patient records — and then demanded a ransom both from the firm and its patients for not exposing information about their mental health issues. Many patients refused to pay hackers and some 300 records ended up being posted online as Associated Press reported.

    Not only did the practice have to deal with the cyber-breach aftermath, but it also faced vocal regulatory and patient criticisms for failing to properly protect such sensitive information.

    Security negligence can carry both direct (heavy data breach fines) and indirect losses in the form of reputational damages. An overwhelming 90% of consumers say they wouldn’t buy from a business if it doesn’t adequately protect their data. This brings us to the last point. 

    3. Reputational Risks 

    Trust is the new currency. Data negligence and consumer privacy violations are the two fastest ways to lose it. 

    Globally, consumers are concerned about how businesses collect, use, and protect their data. 

    Consumer data sharing attitudes
    • According to Forrester, 47% of UK adults actively limit the amount of data they share with websites and apps. 49% of Italians express willingness to ask companies to delete their personal data. 36% of Germans use privacy and security tools to minimise online tracking of their activities. 
    • A GDMA survey also notes that globally, 82% of consumers want more control over their personal information, shared with companies. 77% also expect brands to be transparent about how their data is collected and used. 

    When businesses fail to hold their end of the bargain — collect just the right amount of data and use it with integrity — consumers are fast to cut ties. 

    Once the information about privacy violations becomes public, companies lose : 

    • Brand equity 
    • Market share 
    • Competitive positioning 

    An AON report estimates that post-data breach companies can lose as much as 25% of their initial value. In some cases, the losses can be even higher. 

    In 2015, British telecom TalkTalk suffered from a major data breach. Over 150,000 customer records were stolen by hackers. To contain the issue, TalkTalk had to throw between $60-$70 million into containment efforts. Still, they lost over 100,000 customers in a matter of months and one-third of their company value, equivalent to $1.4 billion, by the end of the year. 

    Fresher data from Infosys gives the following maximum cost estimates of brand damage, companies could experience after a data breach (accidental or malicious).

    Estimated cost of brand damage due to a data breach

    3 Major Advantages of Privacy in Business 

    Despite all the industry mishaps, a reassuring 77% of CEOs now recognise that their companies must fundamentally change their approaches to customer engagement, in particular when it comes to ensuring data privacy. 

    Many organisations take proactive steps to cultivate a privacy-centred culture and implement transparent data collection policies. 

    Here’s why gaining the “privacy advantage” pays off.

    1. Market Competitiveness 

    There’s a reason why privacy-focused companies are booming. 

    Consumers’ mounting concerns and frustrations over the lack of online privacy, prompt many to look for alternative privacy-centred products and services

    The following B2C and B2B products are moving from the industry margins to the mainstream : 

    Across the board, consumers express greater trust towards companies, protective of their privacy : 

    And as we well know : trust translates to higher engagement, loyalty, and – ultimately revenue. 

    By embedding privacy into the core of your product, you give users more reasons to select, stay and support your business. 

    2. Higher Operational Efficiency

    Customer data protection isn’t just a policy – it’s a culture of collecting “just enough” data, protecting it and using it responsibly. 

    Sadly, that’s the area where most organisations trail behind. At present, some 90% of businesses admit to having amassed massive data silos. 

    Siloed data is expensive to maintain and operationalise. Moreover, when left unattended, it can evolve into a pressing compliance issue. 

    A recently leaked document from Facebook says the company has no idea where all of its first-party, third-party and sensitive categories data goes or how it is processed. Because of this, Facebook struggles to achieve GDPR compliance and remains under regulatory pressure. 

    Similarly, Google Analytics is riddled with privacy issues. Other company products were found to be collecting and operationalising consumer data without users’ knowledge or consent. Again, this creates valid grounds for regulatory investigations. 

    Smaller companies have a better chance of making things right at the onset. 

    By curbing customer data collection, you can : 

    • Reduce data hosting and Cloud computation costs (aka trim your Cloud bill) 
    • Improve data security practices (since you would have fewer assets to protect) 
    • Make your staff more productive by consolidating essential data and making it easy and safe to access

    Privacy-mindful companies also have an easier time when it comes to compliance and can meet new data regulations faster. 

    3. Better Marketing Campaigns 

    The biggest counter-argument to reducing customer data collection is marketing. 

    How can we effectively sell our products if we know nothing about our customers ? – your team might be asking. 

    This might sound counterintuitive, but minimising data collection and usage can lead to better marketing outcomes. 

    Limiting the types of data that can be used encourages your people to become more creative and productive by focusing on fewer metrics that are more important.

    Think of it this way : Every other business uses the same targeting parameters on Facebook or Google for running paid ad campaigns on Facebook. As a result, we see ads everywhere — and people grow unresponsive to them or choose to limit exposure by using ad blocking software, private browsers and VPNs. Your ad budgets get wasted on chasing mirage metrics instead of actual prospects. 

    Case in point : In 2017 Marc Pritchard of Procter & Gamble decided to first cut the company’s digital advertising budget by 6% (or $200 million). Unilever made an even bolder move and reduced its ad budget by 30% in 2018. 

    Guess what happened ?

    P&G saw a 7.5% increase in organic sales and Unilever had a 3.8% gain as HBR reports. So how come both companies became more successful by spending less on advertising ? 

    They found that overexposure to online ads led to diminishing returns and annoyances among loyal customers. By minimising ad exposure and adopting alternative marketing strategies, the two companies managed to market better to new and existing customers. 

    The takeaway : There are more ways to engage consumers aside from pestering them with repetitive retargeting messages or creepy personalisation. 

    You can collect first-party data with consent to incrementally improve your product — and educate them on the benefits of your solution in transparent terms.

    Final Thoughts 

    The definitive advantage of privacy is consumers’ trust. 

    You can’t buy it, you can’t fake it, you can only cultivate it by aligning your external appearances with internal practices. 

    Because when you fail to address privacy internally, your mishaps will quickly become apparent either as social media call-outs or worse — as a security incident, a data breach or a legal investigation. 

    By choosing to treat consumer data with respect, you build an extra layer of protection around your business, plus draw in some banging benefits too.
