  • What is a Cohort Report? A Beginner’s Guide to Cohort Analysis

    3 January 2024, by Erin

    Handling your user data as a single mass of numbers is rarely conducive to figuring out meaningful patterns you can use to improve your marketing campaigns.

    A cohort report (or cohort analysis) can help you quickly break down that larger audience into sequential segments and contrast and compare based on various metrics. As such, it is a great tool for unlocking more granular trends and insights — for example, identifying patterns in engagement and conversions based on the date users first interacted with your site.

    In this guide, we explain the basics of the cohort report and the best way to set one up to get the most out of it.

    What is a cohort report?

    In a cohort report, you divide a data set into groups based on certain criteria — typically a time-based cohort metric like first purchase date — and then analyse the data across those segments, looking for patterns.

    Date-based cohort analysis is the most common approach, often creating cohorts based on the day a user completed a particular action — signed up, purchased something or visited your website. Depending on the metric you choose to measure (like return visits), the cohort report might look something like this:

    Example of a basic cohort report

    Note that this is not a universal benchmark or anything of the sort. The above is a theoretical cohort analysis based on app users who downloaded the app, tracking and comparing the retention rates as the days go by. 

    The benchmarks will be drastically different depending on the metric you’re measuring and the basis for your cohorts. For example, if you’re measuring returning visitor rates among first-time visitors to your website, expect single-digit percentages even on the second day.

    Your industry will also greatly affect what you consider positive in a cohort report. For example, if you’re a subscription SaaS, you’d expect high continued usage rates over the first week. If you sell office supplies to companies, much less so.

    What is an example of a cohort?

    As we just mentioned, a typical cohort analysis separates users or customers by the date they first interacted with your business — in this case, they downloaded your app. Within that larger analysis, the users who downloaded it on May 3 represent a single cohort.

    Illustration of a specific cohort

    In this case, we’ve chosen behaviour and time — the app download day — to separate the user base into cohorts. That means every specific day denotes a specific cohort within the analysis.

    Diving deeper into an individual cohort may be a good idea for important holidays or promotional events like Black Friday.

    Of course, cohorts don’t have to be based on specific behaviour within certain periods. You can also create cohorts based on other dimensions:

    • Transactional data — revenue per user
    • Churn data — date of churn
    • Behavioural cohort — based on actions taken on your website, app or e-commerce store, like the number of sessions per user or specific product pages visited
    • Acquisition cohort — which channel referred the user or customer

    For more information on different cohort types, read our in-depth guide on cohort analysis.

    How to create a cohort report (and make sense of it)

    Matomo makes it easy to view and analyse different cohorts (without the privacy and legal implications of using Google Analytics).

    Here are a few different ways to set up a cohort report in Matomo, starting with our built-in cohorts report.

    Cohort reports

    With Matomo, cohort reports are automatically compiled based on the first visit date. The default metric is the percentage of returning visitors.

    Screenshot of the cohorts report in Matomo analytics

    Changing the settings allows you to create multiple variations of cohort analysis reports.

    Break down cohorts by different metrics

    The percentage of returning visits can be valuable if you’re trying to improve early engagement in a SaaS app onboarding process. But it’s far from your only option.

    You can also compare performance by conversion, revenue, bounce rate, actions per visit, average session duration or other metrics.

    Cohort metric options in Matomo analytics

    Change the time and scope of your cohort analysis

    Splitting up cohorts by single days may be useless if you don’t have a high volume of users or visitors. If the average cohort size is only a few users, you won’t be able to identify reliable patterns. 

    Matomo lets you set any time period to create your cohort analysis report. Instead of the most recent days, you can create cohorts by week, month, year or custom date ranges. 

    Date settings in the cohorts report in Matomo analytics

    Cohort sizes will depend on your customer base. Make sure each cohort is large enough to encapsulate all the customers in that cohort and not so small that you have insignificant cohorts of only a few customers. Choose a date range that gives you that without scaling it too far so you can’t identify any seasonal trends.

    Cohort analysis can be a great tool if you’ve recently changed your marketing, product offering or onboarding. Set the data range to weekly and look for any impact in conversions and revenue after the changes.

    Using the “compare to” feature, you can also do month-over-month, quarter-over-quarter or any custom date range comparisons. This approach can help you get a rough overview of your campaign’s long-term progress without doing any in-depth analysis.

    You can also use the same approach to compare different holiday seasons against each other.

    If you want to combine time cohorts with segmentation, you can run cohort reports for different subsets of visitors instead of all visitors. This can lead to actionable insights like adjusting weekend or specific seasonal promotions to improve conversion rates.

    Easily create custom cohort reports beyond the time dimension

    If you want to split your audience into cohorts by focusing on something other than time, you will need to create a custom report and choose another dimension. In Matomo, you can choose from a wide range of cohort metrics, including referrers, e-commerce signals like viewed product or product category, form submissions and more.

    Custom report options in Matomo

    Then, you can create a simple table-based report with all the insights you need by choosing the metrics you want to see. For example, you could choose average visit duration, bounce rate and other usage metrics.

    Metrics selected in a Matomo custom report

    If you want more revenue-focused insights, add metrics like conversions, add-to-cart and other e-commerce events.

    Custom reports make it easy to create cohort reports for almost any dimension. You can use any metric within demographic and behavioural analytics to create a cohort. (You can explore the complete list of our possible segmentation metrics.)

    We cover different types of custom reports (and ideas for specific marketing campaigns) in our guide on custom segmentation.

    Create your first cohort report and gain better insights into your visitors

    Cohort reports can help you identify trends and the impact of short-term marketing efforts like events and promotions.

    With Matomo cohort reports you have the power to create complex custom reports for various cohorts and segments.

  • My SBC Collection

    31 December 2023, by Multimedia Mike — General

    Like many computer nerds in the last decade, I have accumulated more than a few single-board computers, or “SBCs”, which are small computers based around a system-on-a-chip (SoC) that nearly always features an ARM CPU at its core. Surprisingly few of these units are Raspberry Pi units, though that brand has come to exemplify and dominate the product category.

    Also, as is the case for many computer nerds, most of these SBCs lay fallow for years at a time. Equipped with an inexpensive lightbox that I procured in the last year, I decided I could at least create glamour shots of various units and catalog them in a blog post.

    While Raspberry Pi still enjoys the most mindshare far and away, and while I do have a few Raspberry Pi units in my inventory, I have always been a bigger fan of the ODROID brand, which works with convenient importers around the world (in the USA, I can vouch for Ameridroid, to whom I’ve forked over a fair amount of cash for these computing toys).

    As mentioned, Raspberry Pi undisputedly has the most mindshare of all these SBC brands and I often wonder why… and then I immediately remind myself that it has the biggest ecosystem, and has a variety of turnkey projects and applications (such as Pi-hole and PiVPN) that promise a lower barrier to entry — as well as a slightly lower price point — than some of these other options. ODROID had a decent ecosystem for awhile, especially considering the monthly ODROID Magazine, though that ceased publication in July 2020. The Raspberry Pi and its variants were famously difficult to come by due to the global chip shortage from 2021-2023. Meanwhile, I had no trouble procuring these boards during the same timeframe.

    So let’s delve into the collection…

    Cubieboard
    The Raspberry Pi came out in 2012 and by 2013 I was somewhat coveting one to hack on. Finally! An accessible ARM platform to play with. I had heard of the BeagleBoard for years but never tried to get my hands on one. I was thinking about taking the plunge on a new Raspberry Pi, but a colleague told me I should skip that and go with this new hotness called the Cubieboard, based on an Allwinner SoC. The big value-add that this board had vs. a Raspberry Pi was that it had a SATA adapter. Although now that it has been a decade, it only now occurs to me to quander whether it was true SATA or a USB-to-SATA bridge. Looking it up now, I’m led to believe that the SoC supported the functionality natively.

    Anyway, I did get it up and running but never did much with it, thus setting the tone for future SBC endeavors. No photos because I gave it to another tech enthusiast years ago, whose SBC collection dwarfs my own.

    ODROID-XU4
    I can’t recall exactly when or how I first encountered the ODROID brand. I probably read about it on some enthusiast page or another circa 2014 and decided to try one out. I eventually acquired a total of 3 of these ODROID-XU4 units, each with a different case, 1 with a fan and 2 passively-cooled:

    Collection of ODROID-XU4 SBCs

    Collection of ODROID-XU4 SBCs

    This is based on the Samsung Exynos 5422 SoC, the same series as was used in their Note 3 phone released in 2013. It has been a fun chip to play with. The XU4 was also my first introduction to the eMMC storage solution that is commonly supported on the ODROID SBCs (alongside micro-SD). eMMC offers many benefits over SD in terms of read/write speed as well as well as longevity/write cycles. That’s getting less relevant these days, however, as more and more SBCs are being released with direct NVMe SSD support.

    I had initially wanted to make a retro-gaming device built on this platform (see the handheld section later for more meditations on that). In support of this common hobbyist goal, there is this nifty case XU4 case which apes the aesthetic of the Nintendo N64:

    ODROID-XU4 N64-style case

    ODROID-XU4 N64-style case

    It even has a cool programmable LCD screen. Maybe one day I’ll find a use for it.

    For awhile, one of these XU4 units (likely the noisy, fan-cooled one) was contributing results to the FFmpeg FATE system.

    While it features gigabit ethernet and a USB3 port, I once tried to see if I could get 2 Gbps throughput with the unit using a USB3-gigabit dongle. I had curious results in that the total amount of traffic throughput could never exceed 1 Gbps across both interfaces. I.e., if 1 interface was dealing with 1 Gbps and the other interface tried to run at 1 Gbps, they would both only run at 500 Mbps. That remains a mystery to me since I don’t see that limitation with Intel chips.

    Still, the XU4 has been useful for a variety of projects and prototyping over the years.

    ODROID-HC2 NAS
    I find that a lot of my fellow nerds massively overengineer their homelab NAS setups. I’ll explore this in a future post. For my part, people tend to find my homelab NAS solution slightly underengineered. This is the ODROID-HC2 (the “HC” stands for “Home Cloud”):

    ODROID-HC2 NAS

    ODROID-HC2 NAS

    It has the same guts as the ODROID-XU4 except no video output and the USB3 function is leveraged for a SATA bridge. This allows you to plug a SATA hard drive directly into the unit:

    ODROID-HC2 NAS uncovered

    Believe it or not, this has been my home NAS solution for something like 6 or 7 years now– I don’t clearly remember when I purchased it and put it into service.

    But isn’t this sort of irresponsible? What about a failure of the main drive? That’s why I have an external drive connected for backing up the most important data via rsync:

    ODROID-HC2 NAS backup enclosure

    The power consumption can’t be beat– Profiling for a few weeks of average usage worked out to 4.5 kWh for the ODROID-HC2… per month.

    ODROID-C2
    I was on a kick of ordering more SBCs at one point. This is the ODROID-C2, equipped with a 64-bit Amlogic SoC:

    ODROID-C2

    ODROID-C2

    I had this on the FATE farm for awhile, performing 64-bit ARM builds (vs. the XU4’s 32-bit builds). As memory serves, it was unreliable and would occasionally freeze up.

    Here is a view of the eMMC storage through the bottom of the translucent case:

    ODROID-N2+
    Out of all my ODROID SBCs, this is the unit that I long to “get back to” the most– the ODROID-N2+:

    ODROID-N2+

    ODROID-N2+

    Very capable unit that makes a great little desktop. I have some projects I want to develop using it so that it will force me to have a focused development environment.

    Raspberry Pi
    Eventually, I did break down and get a Raspberry Pi. I had a specific purpose in mind and, much to my surprise, I have stuck to it:

    Original Raspberry Pi

    Original Raspberry Pi

    I was using one of the ODROID-XU4 units as a VPN gateway. Eventually, I wanted to convert the XU4 to something else and I decided to run the VPN gateway as an appliance on the simplest device I could. So I procured this complete hand-me-down unit from eBay and went to work. This was also the first time I discovered the DietPi distribution and this box has been in service running Wireguard via PiVPN for many years.

    I also have a Raspberry Pi 3B+ kicking around somewhere. I used it as a Steam Link device for awhile.

    SOPINE + Baseboard
    Also procured when I was on this “let’s buy random SBCs” kick. The Pine64 SOPINE is actually a compute module that comes in the form factor of a memory module.

    Pine64 SOPINE Compute Module

    Pine64 SOPINE Compute Module

    Back to using Allwinner SoCs. In order to make this thing useful, you need to place it in something. It’s possible to get a mini-ITX form factor board that can accommodate 7 of these modules. Before going to that extreme, there is this much simpler baseboard which can also use eMMC for storage.

    Baseboard with SOPINE, eMMC, and heat sinks

    Baseboard with SOPINE, eMMC, and heat sinks

    I really need to find an appropriate case for this one as it currently performs its duty while sitting on an anti-static bag.

    NanoPi NEO3
    I enjoy running the DietPi distribution on many of these SBCs (as it’s developed not just for Raspberry Pi). I have also found their website to be a useful resource for discovering new SBCs. That’s how I found the NanoPi series and zeroed in on this NEO3 unit, sporting a Rockchip SoC, and photographed here with some American currency in order to illustrate its relative size:

    NanoPi NEO3

    NanoPi NEO3

    I often forget about this computer because it’s off in another room, just quietly performing its assigned duty.

    MangoPi MQ-Pro
    So far, I’ve heard of these fruits prepending the Greek letter pi for naming small computing products:

    • Raspberry – the O.G.
    • Banana – seems to be popular for hobbyist router/switches
    • Orange
    • Atomic
    • Nano
    • Mango

    Okay, so the AtomicPi and NanoPi names don’t really make sense considering the fruit convention.

    Anyway, the newest entry is the MangoPi. These showed up on Ameridroid a few months ago. There are 2 variants: the MQ-Pro and the MQ-Quad. I picked one and rolled with it.

    MangoPi MQ-Pro pieces arrive

    MangoPi MQ-Pro pieces arrive

    When it arrived, I unpacked it, assembled the pieces, downloaded a distro, tossed that on a micro-SD card, connected a monitor and keyboard to it via its USB-C port, got the distro up and running, configured the wireless networking with a static IP address and installed sshd, and it was ready to go as a headless server for an edge application.

    MangoPi MQ-Pro components, ready for assembly

    The unit came with no instructions that I can recall. After I got it set up, I remember thinking, “What is wrong with me? Why is it that I just know how to do all of this without any documentation?”

    MangoPi MQ-Pro in first test

    MangoPi MQ-Pro in first test

    Only after I got it up and running and poked around a bit did I realize that this SBC doesn’t have an ARM SoC– it’s a RISC-V SoC. It uses the Allwinner D1, so it looks like I came full circle back to Allwinner.

    MangoPi MQ-Pro with more US coinage for scale

    MangoPi MQ-Pro with more US coinage for scale

    So I now have my first piece of RISC-V hobbyist kit, although I learned recently from Kostya that it’s not that great for multimedia.

    Handheld Gaming Units
    The folks at Hardkernel have also produced a series of handheld retro-gaming devices called ODROID-GO. The first one resembled the original Nintendo Game Boy, came as a kit to be assembled, and emulated 5 classic consoles. It also had some hackability to it. Quite a cool little device, and inexpensive too. I have since passed it along to another gaming enthusiast.

    Later came the ODROID-GO Advance, also a kit, but emulating more devices. I was extremely eager to get my hands on this since it could emulate SNES in addition to NES. It also features a headphone jack, unlike the earlier model. True to form, after I received mine, it took me about 13 months before I got around to assembling it. After that, the biggest challenge I had was trying to find an appropriate case for it.

    ODROID-GO Advance with case and headphones

    ODROID-GO Advance with case and headphones

    Even though it may try to copy the general aesthetic and form factor of the Game Boy Advance, cases for the GBA don’t fit this correctly.

    Further, Hardkernel have also released the ODROID-GO Super and Ultra models that do more and more. The Advance, Super, and Ultra models have powerful SoCs and feature much more hackability than the first ODROID-GO model.

    I know that the guts of the Advance have been used in other products as well. The same is likely true for the Super and Ultra.

    Ultimately, the ODROID-GO Advance was just another project I assembled and then set aside since I like the idea of playing old games much more than actually doing it. Plus, the fact has finally crystalized in my mind over the past few years that I have never enjoyed handheld gaming and likely will never enjoy handheld gaming, even after I started wearing glasses. Not that I’m averse to old Game Boy / Color / Advance games, but if I’m going to play them, I’d rather emulate them on a large display.

    The Future
    In some of my weaker moments, I consider ordering up certain Banana Pi products (like the Banana Pi BPI-R2) with a case and doing my own router tricks using some open source router/firewall solution. And then I remind myself that my existing prosumer-type home router is doing just fine. But maybe one day…

  • Conversion Rate Optimisation Statistics for 2024 and Beyond

    21 November 2023, by Erin — Analytics Tips

    Driving traffic to your website is only half the battle. The real challenge — once you’ve used a web analytics solution to understand how users behave — is turning more of those visitors into customers.

    That doesn’t happen by accident. You need to employ conversion rate optimisation strategies and tools to see even a small lift in conversion rates. The good news is that it doesn’t take much to see massive results. Raising your conversion rate from 1% to 3% can triple your revenue. 

    In even better news, you don’t have to guess at the best ways to improve your conversion rate. We’ve done the hard work and collected the most recent and relevant conversion rate optimisation statistics to help you. 

    General conversion rate optimisation statistics

    It appears the popularity of conversion rate optimisation is soaring. According to data collected by Google Trends, there were more people searching for the term “conversion rate optimization” in September 2023 than ever before. 

    As you can see from the chart below, the term’s popularity is on a clear upward trajectory, meaning even more people could be searching for it in the near future. (Source)

    More people searching for conversion rate optimization than ever before according to Google Trends data

    Do you want to know what the average landing page conversion rate is? According to research by WordStream, the average website conversion rate across all industries is 2.35%

    That doesn’t paint the whole picture, however. Better-performing websites have significantly higher conversion rates. The top 25% of websites across all industries convert at a rate of 5.31% or higher. (Source)

    Let’s break things down by industry now. The Unbounce Conversion Benchmark Report offers a detailed analysis of how landing pages convert across various industries.

    First, we have the Finance and Insurance industry, which boasts a conversion rate of 15.6%. 

    On the other end, agencies appears to be one of the worst-performing. Agencies’ landing pages convert at a rate of 8.8%. (Source)

    The average landing page conversion rates across industries

    What about the size of the conversion rate optimisation industry? Given the growth in popularity of the term in Google, surely the industry is experiencing growth, right?

    You’d be correct in that assumption. The conversion rate optimisation software market was valued at $771.2 million in 2018 and is projected to reach $1.932 billion by 2026 — a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%.

    Statistics on the importance of conversion rate optimisation

    If you’re reading this article, you probably think conversion rate optimisation is pretty important. But do you know its importance and where it ranks in your competitors’ priorities? Read on to find out. 

    Bounce rate — the number of people who leave your website without visiting another page or taking action — is the scourge of conversion rate optimisation efforts. Every time someone bounces from your site, you lose the chance to convert them.

    The questions, then, are: how often do people bounce on average and how does your bounce rate compare? 

    Siege Media analysed over 1.3 billion sessions from a range of traffic sources, including 700 million bounces, to calculate an average bounce rate of 50.9%. (Source)

    The average bounce rate is 50.9%

    Bounce rates vary massively from website to website and industry to industry, however. Siege Media’s study unveils an array of average bounce rates across industries:

    • Travel – 82.58%
    • B2B – 65.17%
    • Lifestyle – 64.26%
    • Business and Finance – 63.51%
    • Healthcare – 59.50%
    • eCommerce – 54.54%
    • Insurance – 45.96%
    • Real Estate – 40.78%

    It won’t come as much of a surprise to learn that marketers are determined to reduce bounce rates and improve lead conversion. Today’s marketers are highly performance-based. When asked about their priorities for the coming year, 79% of marketers said their priority was generating quality qualified leads — the most popular answer in the survey. (Source)

    Just because it is a priority for marketers doesn’t mean that everyone has their stuff together. If you have a conversion rate optimisation process in place, you’re in the minority. According to research by HubSpot, less than one in five marketers (17%) use landing page A/B tests to improve their conversion rates. (Source)

    When it comes to personalisation strategies – a common and effective tool to increase conversion rates — the picture isn’t any rosier. Research by Salesforce found just over one-quarter of markets are confident their organisation has a successful strategy for personalisation. (Source)

    Conversion rate optimisation tactics statistics

    There are hundreds of ways to improve your website’s conversion rates. From changing the color of buttons to the structure of your landing page to your entire conversion funnel, in this section, we’ll look at the most important statistics you need to know when choosing tactics and building your own CRO experiments. 

    If you are looking for the best method to convert visitors, then email lead generation forms are the way to go, according to HubSpot. This inoffensive and low-barrier data collection method boasts a 15% conversion rate, according to the marketing automation company’s research. (Source)

    Where possible, make your call-to-actions personalised. Marketing personalisation, whether through behavioral segmentation or another strategy, is an incredibly powerful way of showing users that you care about their specific needs. It’s no great surprise, then, that HubSpot found personalised calls-to-actions perform a whopping 202% better than basic CTAs. (Source)

    If you want to boost conversion rates, then it’s just as important to focus on quantity as well as quality. Yes, a great-looking, well-written landing page will go a long way to improving your conversion rate, but having a dozen of these pages will do even more. 

    Research by HubSpot found companies see a 55% increase in leads when they increase the number of landing pages from 10 to 15. What’s more, companies with over 40 landing pages increase conversion by more than 500%. (Source)

    Companies with more than 40 landing pages increase conversions by over 500%

    User-generated content (UGC) should also be high on your priority list to boost conversion rates. Several statistics show how powerful, impactful and persuasive social proof like user reviews can be. 

    Research shows that visitors who scroll to the point where they encounter user-generated content increase the likelihood they convert by a staggering 102.4%. (Source)

    Other trust signs can be just as impactful. Research by Trustpilot found that the following four trust signals make consumers more likely to make a purchase when shown on a product page:

    • Positive star rating and reviews (85% more likely to make a purchase)
    • Positive star rating (78%)
    • Positive customer testimonials (82%)
    • Approved or authorised seller badge (76%)

    (Source)

    Showing ratings and reviews has also increased conversion rates by 38% on home appliances and electronics stores. (Source)

    And no wonder, given that consumers are more likely to buy from brands they trust than brands they love, according to the 2021 Edelman Trust Barometer Special Report. (Source

    A lack of trust is also one of the top four reasons consumers abandon their shopping cart at checkout. (Source

    Traffic source conversion rate statistics

    What type of traffic works the best when it comes to conversions, or how often you should be signing up users to your mailing list? Let’s look at the stats to find out. 

    Email opt-ins are one of the most popular methods for collecting customer information — and an area where digital marketers spend a lot of time and effort when it comes to conversion rate optimisation. So, what is the average conversion rate of an email opt-in box?

    According to research by Sumo — based on 3.2 billion users who have seen their opt-in boxes — the average email opt-in rate is 1.95%. (Source)

    Search advertising is an effective way of driving website traffic, but how often do those users click on these ads?

    WordStream’s research puts the average conversion of search advertising for all industries at 6.11%. (Source)

    The arts and entertainment industry enjoys the highest clickthrough rates (11.78%), followed by sports and recreation (10.53%) and travel (10.03%). Legal services and the home improvement industry have the lowest clickthrough rates at 4.76% and 4.8%, respectively.

    The average clickthrough rate of search advertising for each industry
    (Source)

    If you’re spending money on Google ads, then you’d better hope a significant amount of users convert after clicking them. 

    Unfortunately, conversion rates from Google ads decreased year-on-year for most industries in 2023, according to research by WordStream — in some cases, those decreases were significant. The only two industries that didn’t see a decrease in conversion rates were beauty and personal care and education and instruction. (Source)

    The average conversion rate for search ads across all industries is 7.04%. The animal and pet niche has the highest conversion rate (13.41%), while apparel, fashion and jewelry have the lowest conversion rate (1.57%). (Source)

    What about other forms of traffic? Well, there’s good reason to try running interstitial ads on smartphone apps if you aren’t already. Ads on the iOS app see a 14.3 percent conversion rate on average. (Source)
