An introduction to Google Analytics.
Tracking and understanding user behaviour on your
website. Julian Erbsloeh – Head of Insight at Fresh Egg
• Web analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and
reporting of web data for purposes of improving website
performance and understanding and optimising the user
journey.
• Google Analytics (GA) is just one of many analytics and
tracking platforms on the web. It is a good platform and for
most users it’s free to use.
• Google Tag Manager is a free tag management container
which can streamline the implementation of various tracking
tags including Google Analytics
Web analytics and analytics platforms.
• Visits to your website (aka Sessions or traffic)
• User demographics (age, gender and general interests)
• Traffic sources – where visitors come from
• User journeys and where they fail
• Performance of marketing campaigns
• Form completions and check-out funnels
• Sales performance
• Cross-channel performance
• Device usage
• Website performance (load times etc)
• …
Google Analytics – what can we track?
Audience – who is visiting your website
Acquisition – how did these users find your site
Behaviour – how did they interact with your website
Conversion – did they convert into customers / leads?

Ok I am sold, how do I get started
with Google Analytics?
The asynchronous GA tracking code:
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)
[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'UA-5451XXXX-1', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
This code needs to be placed on every page of your website, just
before the closing </head> tag.
Getting started – implementing Google Analytics on your site
developer support needed
Additional tracking code needs to be added to the site for:
• Ecommerce conversion tracking
• Event tracking
• Tagging of social buttons
• Various other customisations
Google provides some great resources to help with technical implementation,
these simple step-by-step guides can mostly be followed by semi-technical
users too.

developer support needed
Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager
One code snippet on every page through which all tracking and
even third party marketing tags can be set up.
<!-- Google Tag Manager -->
<noscript><iframe src="//www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-
TT6KB5"
height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></
noscript>
<script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start':
new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src=
'//www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i
+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);
})(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-TT6KB5');</script>
<!-- End Google Tag Manager -->
The only other code you will ever need to implement directly in your site is e-
commerce conversion code.
developer support needed
• Self-referrals – referrals from your own website highlight an issue with the
tracking code implementation, often related to subdomains or missing
tracking code. Check the referrals report for entries of your own site.
• Traffic from bots and spam referrers – check your referrers reports for
sites that should not be there, names frequently include terms like SEO,
poker, buttons and others. Also check service providers report for entries
with 100% new traffic and poor engagement metrics.
• Traffic from unwanted websites, test servers and bots can also be found
in the hostname report. A filter can be set up to exclude this kind of spam.
• Dated tracking code placed in footer of each page instead of the head,
this impacts how reliably the tracking code fires each time the page loads.
• No goal or event tracking – how can you judge the performance of your
website when you don’t know if users do what you want them to do?
