How to Use Analytics & Reports for Marketing, Sales & More
28 septembre 2023, par Erin — Analytics TipsBy now, most professionals know they should be using analytics and reports to make better business decisions. Blogs and thought leaders talk about it all the time. But most sources don’t tell you how to use analytics and reports. So marketers, salespeople and others either skim whatever reports they come across or give up on making data-driven decisions entirely.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
In this article, we’ll cover what analytics and reports are, how they differ and give you examples of each. Then, we’ll explain how clean data comes into play and how marketing, sales, and user experience teams can use reports and analytics to uncover actionable insights.
What’s the difference between analytics & reports ?
Many people speak of reports and analytics as if the terms are interchangeable, but they have two distinct meanings.
A report is a collection of data presented in one place. By tracking key metrics and providing numbers, reports tell you what is happening in your business. Analytics is the study of data and the process of generating insights from data. Both rely on data and are essential for understanding and improving your business results.
A science experiment is a helpful analogy for how reporting and analytics work together. To conduct an experiment, scientists collect data and results and compile a report of what happened. But the process doesn’t stop there. After generating a data report, scientists analyse the data and try to understand the why behind the results.
In a business context, you collect and organise data in reports. With analytics, you then use those reports and their data to draw conclusions about what works and what doesn’t.
Reports examples
Reports are a valuable tool for just about any part of your business, from sales to finance to human resources. For example, your finance team might collect data about spending and use it to create a report. It might show how much you spend on employee compensation, real estate, raw materials and shipping.
On the other hand, your marketing team might benefit from a report on lead sources. This would mean collecting data on where your sales leads come from (social media, email, organic search, etc.). You could collect and present lead source data over time for a more in-depth report. This shows which sources are becoming more effective over time. With advanced tools, you can create detailed, custom reports that include multiple factors, such as time, geographical location and device type.
Analytics examples
Because analytics requires looking at and drawing insights from data and reports to collect and present data, analytics often begins by studying reports.
In our example of a report on lead sources, an analytics professional might study the report and notice that webinars are an important source of leads. To better understand this, they might look closely at the number of leads acquired compared to how often webinars occur. If they notice that the number of webinar leads has been growing, they might conclude that the business should invest in more webinars to generate more leads. This is just one kind of insight analytics can provide.
For another example, your human resources team might study a report on employee retention. After analysing the data, they could discover valuable insights, such as which teams have the highest turnover rate. Further analysis might help them uncover why certain teams fail to keep employees and what they can do to solve the problem.
The importance of clean data
Both analytics and reporting rely on data, so it’s essential your data is clean. Clean data means you’ve audited your data, removed inaccuracies and duplicate entries, and corrected mislabelled data or errors. Basically, you want to ensure that each piece of information you’re using for reports and analytics is accurate and organised correctly.
If your data isn’t clean and accurate, neither will your reports be. And making business decisions based on bad data can come at a considerable cost. Inaccurate data might lead you to invest in a channel that appears more valuable than it actually is. Or it could cause you to overlook opportunities for growth. Moreover, poor data maintenance and the poor insight it provides will lead your team to have less trust in your reports and analytics team.
The simplest way to maintain clean data is to be meticulous when inputting or transferring data. This can be as simple as ensuring that your sales team fills in every field of an account record. When you need to import or transfer data from other sources, you need to perform quality assurance (QA) checks to make sure data is appropriately labelled and organised.
Another way to maintain clean data is by avoiding cookies. Most web visitors reject cookie consent banners. When this happens, analysts and marketers don’t get data on these visitors and only see the percentage of users who accept tracking. This means they decide on a smaller sample size, leading to poor or inaccurate data. These banners also create a poor user experience and annoy web visitors.
Matomo can be configured to run cookieless — which, in most countries, means you don’t need to have an annoying cookie consent screen on your site. This way, you can get more accurate data and create a better user experience.
Marketing analytics and reports
Analytics and reporting help you measure and improve the effectiveness of your marketing efforts. They help you learn what’s working and what you should invest more time and money into. And bolstering the effectiveness of your marketing will create more opportunities for sales.
One common area where marketing teams use analytics and reports is to understand and improve their keyword rankings and search engine optimization. They use web analytics platforms like Matomo to report on how their website performs for specific keywords. Insights from these reports are then used to inform changes to the website and the development of new content.
As we mentioned above, marketing teams often use reports on lead sources to understand how their prospects and customers are learning about the brand. They might analyse their lead sources to better understand their audience.
For example, if your company finds that you receive a lot of leads from LinkedIn, you might decide to study the content you post there and how it differs from other platforms. You could apply a similar content approach to other channels to see if it increases lead generation. You can then study reporting on how lead source data changes after you change content strategies. This is one example of how analysing a report can lead to marketing experimentation.
Email and paid advertising are also marketing channels that can be optimised with reports and analysis. By studying the data around what emails and ads your audience clicks on, you can draw insights into what topics and messaging resonate with your customers.
Marketing teams often use A/B testing to learn about audience preferences. In an A/B test, you can test two landing page versions, such as two different types of call-to-action (CTA) buttons. Matomo will generate a report showing how many people clicked each version. From those results, you may draw an insight into the design your audience prefers.
Sales analytics and reports
Sales analytics and reports are used to help teams close more deals and sell more efficiently. They also help businesses understand their revenue, set goals, and optimise sales processes. And understanding your sales and revenue allows you to plan for the future.
One of the keys to building a successful sales strategy and team is understanding your sales cycle. That’s why it’s so important for companies to analyse their lead and sales data. For business-to-business (B2B) companies in particular, the sales cycle can be a long process. But you can use reporting and analytics to learn about the stages of the buying cycle, including how long they take and how many leads proceed to the next step.
Analysing lead and customer data also allows you to gain insights into who your customers are. With detailed account records, you can track where your customers are, what industries they come from, what their role is and how much they spend. While you can use reports to gather customer data, you also have to use analysis and qualitative information in order to build buyer personas.
Many sales teams use past individual and business performance to understand revenue trends. For instance, you might study historical data reports to learn how seasonality affects your revenue. If you dive deeper, you might find that seasonal trends may depend on the country where your customers live.
Conversely, it’s also important to analyse what internal variables are affecting revenue. You can use revenue reports to identify your top-performing sales associates. You can then try to expand and replicate that success. While sales is a field often driven by personal relationships and conversations, many types of reports allow you to learn about and improve the process.
Website and user behaviour analytics and reports
More and more, businesses view their websites as an experience and user behaviour as an important part of their business. And just like sales and marketing, reporting and analytics help you better understand and optimise your web experience.
Many web and user behaviour metrics, like traffic source, have important implications for marketing. For example, page traffic and user flows can provide valuable insights into what your customers are interested in. This can then drive future content development and marketing campaigns.
You can also learn about how your users navigate and use your website. A robust web analytics tool, like Matomo, can supply user session recordings and visitor tracking. For example, you could study which pages a particular user visits. But Matomo also has a feature called Transitions that provides visual reports showing where a particular page’s traffic comes from and where visitors tend to go afterward.
As you consider why people might be leaving your website, site performance is another important area for reporting. Most users are accustomed to near-instantaneous web experiences, so it’s worth monitoring your page load time and looking out for backend delays. In today’s world, your website experience is part of what you’re selling to customers. Don’t miss out on opportunities to impress and delight them.
Dive into your data
Reporting and analytics can seem like mysterious buzzwords we’re all supposed to understand already. But, like anything else, they require definitions and meaningful examples. When you dig into the topic, though, the applications for reporting and analytics are endless.
Use these examples to identify how you can use analytics and reports in your role and department to achieve better results, whether that means higher quality leads, bigger deal size or a better user experience.

What is Audience Segmentation ? The 5 Main Types & Examples
16 novembre 2023, par Erin — Analytics TipsThe days of mass marketing with the same message for millions are long gone. Today, savvy marketers instead focus on delivering the most relevant message to the right person at the right time.
They do this at scale by segmenting their audiences based on various data points. This isn’t an easy process because there are many types of audience segmentation. If you take the wrong approach, you risk delivering irrelevant messages to your audience — or breaking their trust with poor data management.
In this article, we’ll break down the most common types of audience segmentation, share examples highlighting their usefulness and cover how you can segment campaigns without breaking data regulations.
What is audience segmentation ?
Audience segmentation is when you divide your audience into multiple smaller specific audiences based on various factors. The goal is to deliver a more targeted marketing message or to glean unique insights from analytics.
It can be as broad as dividing a marketing campaign by location or as specific as separating audiences by their interests, hobbies and behaviour.
Audience segmentation inherently makes a lot of sense. Consider this : an urban office worker and a rural farmer have vastly different needs. By targeting your marketing efforts towards agriculture workers in rural areas, you’re honing in on a group more likely to be interested in farm equipment.
Audience segmentation has existed since the beginning of marketing. Advertisers used to select magazines and placements based on who typically read them. They would run a golf club ad in a golf magazine, not in the national newspaper.
How narrow you can make your audience segments by leveraging multiple data points has changed.
Why audience segmentation matters
In a survey by McKinsey, 71% of consumers said they expected personalisation, and 76% get frustrated when a vendor doesn’t deliver.
These numbers reflect expectations from consumers who have actively engaged with a brand — created an account, signed up for an email list or purchased a product.
They expect you to take that data and give them relevant product recommendations — like a shoe polishing kit if you bought nice leather loafers.
If you don’t do any sort of audience segmentation, you’re likely to frustrate your customers with post-sale campaigns. If, for example, you just send the same follow-up email to all customers, you’d damage many relationships. Some might ask : “What ? Why would you think I need that ?” Then they’d promptly opt out of your email marketing campaigns.
To avoid that, you need to segment your audience so you can deliver relevant content at all stages of the customer journey.
5 key types of audience segmentation
To help you deliver the right content to the right person or identify crucial insights in analytics, you can use five types of audience segmentation : demographic, behavioural, psychographic, technographic and transactional.
Demographic segmentation
Demographic segmentation is when you segment a larger audience based on demographic data points like location, age or other factors.
The most basic demographic segmentation factor is location, which is easy to leverage in marketing efforts. For example, geographic segmentation can use IP addresses and separate marketing efforts by country.
But more advanced demographic data points are becoming increasingly sensitive to handle. Especially in Europe, GDPR makes advanced demographics a more tentative subject. Using age, education level and employment to target marketing campaigns is possible. But you need to navigate this terrain thoughtfully and responsibly, ensuring meticulous adherence to privacy regulations.
Potential data points :
- Location
- Age
- Marital status
- Income
- Employment
- Education
Example of effective demographic segmentation :
A clothing brand targeting diverse locations needs to account for the varying weather conditions. In colder regions, showcasing winter collections or insulated clothing might resonate more with the audience. Conversely, in warmer climates, promoting lightweight or summer attire could be more effective.
Here are two ads run by North Face on Facebook and Instagram to different audiences to highlight different collections :
Each collection is featured differently and uses a different approach with its copy and even the media. With social media ads, targeting people based on advanced demographics is simple enough — you can just single out the factors when making your campaign. But if you don’t want to rely on these data-mining companies, that doesn’t mean you have no options for segmentation.
Consider allowing people to self-select their interests or preferences by incorporating a short survey within your email sign-up form. This simple addition can enhance engagement, decrease bounce rates, and ultimately improve conversion rates, offering valuable insights into audience preferences.
This is a great way to segment ethically and without the need of data-mining companies.
Behavioural segmentation
Behavioural segmentation segments audiences based on their interaction with your website or app.
You use various data points to segment your target audience based on their actions.
Potential data points :
- Page visits
- Referral source
- Clicks
- Downloads
- Video plays
- Goal completion (e.g., signing up for a newsletter or purchasing a product)
Example of using behavioural segmentation to improve campaign efficiency :
One effective method involves using a web analytics tool such as Matomo to uncover patterns. By segmenting actions like specific clicks and downloads, pinpoint valuable trends—identifying actions that significantly enhance visitor conversions.
For instance, if a case study video substantially boosts conversion rates, elevate its prominence to capitalise on this success.
Then, you can set up a conditional CTA within the video player. Make it pop up after the user has watched the entire video. Use a specific form and sign them up to a specific segment for each case study. This way, you know the prospect’s ideal use case without surveying them.
This is an example of behavioural segmentation that doesn’t rely on third-party cookies.
Psychographic segmentation
Psychographic segmentation is when you segment audiences based on your interpretation of their personality or preferences.
Potential data points :
- Social media patterns
- Follows
- Hobbies
- Interests
Example of effective psychographic segmentation :
Here, Adidas segments its audience based on whether they like cycling or rugby. It makes no sense to show a rugby ad to someone who’s into cycling and vice versa. But to rugby athletes, the ad is very relevant.
If you want to avoid social platforms, you can use surveys about hobbies and interests to segment your target audience in an ethical way.
Technographic segmentation
Technographic segmentation is when you single out specific parts of your audience based on which hardware or software they use.
Potential data points :
- Type of device used
- Device model or brand
- Browser used
Example of segmenting by device type to improve user experience :
Upon noticing a considerable influx of tablet users accessing their platform, a leading news outlet decided to optimise their tablet browsing experience. They overhauled the website interface, focusing on smoother navigation and better readability for tablet users. These changes offered tablet users a seamless and enjoyable reading experience tailored precisely to their device.
Transactional segmentation
Transactional segmentation is when you use your customers’ purchase history to better target your marketing message to their needs.
When consumers prefer personalisation, they typically mean based on their actual transactions, not their social media profiles.
Potential data points :
- Average order value
- Product categories purchased within X months
- X days since the last purchase of a consumable product
Example of effective transactional segmentation :
A pet supply store identifies a segment of customers consistently purchasing cat food but not other pet products. They create targeted email campaigns offering discounts or loyalty rewards specifically for cat-related items to encourage repeat purchases within this segment.
If you want to improve customer loyalty and increase revenue, the last thing you should do is send generic marketing emails. Relevant product recommendations or coupons are the best way to use transactional segmentation.
B2B-specific : Firmographic segmentation
Beyond the five main segmentation types, B2B marketers often use “firmographic” factors when segmenting their campaigns. It’s a way to segment campaigns that go beyond the considerations of the individual.
Potential data points :
- Company size
- Number of employees
- Company industry
- Geographic location (office)
Example of effective firmographic segmentation :
Companies of different sizes won’t need the same solution — so segmenting leads by company size is one of the most common and effective examples of B2B audience segmentation.
The difference here is that B2B campaigns are often segmented through manual research. With an account-based marketing approach, you start by researching your potential customers. You then separate the target audience into smaller segments (or even a one-to-one campaign).
Start segmenting and analysing your audience more deeply with Matomo
Segmentation is a great place to start if you want to level up your marketing efforts. Modern consumers expect to get relevant content, and you must give it to them.
But doing so in a privacy-sensitive way is not always easy. You need the right approach to segment your customer base without alienating them or breaking regulations.
That’s where Matomo comes in. Matomo champions privacy compliance while offering comprehensive insights and segmentation capabilities. With robust privacy controls and cookieless configuration, it ensures GDPR and other regulations are met, empowering data-driven decisions without compromising user privacy.

10 Matomo Features You Possibly Didn’t Know About
28 octobre 2022, par ErinMost 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).
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
