Analytics Experience

Website/Mobile Web/App/Channel/Offline Analytics Audit

Analytics provides valuable data and insights that should inform your decision-making process, optimize your website’s performance, and help you achieve your business goals. It enables you to understand user behavior, track conversions, evaluate marketing campaigns, makes data-driven decisions, and stay competitive in the online space.

Analytics provides insights into the performance of your marketing campaigns, such as the effectiveness of different marketing channels (e.g., organic search, social media, paid advertising), referral sources, and landing pages. This information can help you evaluate the ROI of your marketing efforts and optimize your marketing strategies to achieve better results.

Tracking Code Verification: Checking the correct installation of tracking codes (such as GA, GA4 or Adobe Analytics) on all pages of the website or App.

Data Collection: Verifying the accuracy and completeness of the data being collected from the website. Making sure you have all the tracking pixels, heatmaps, and Visitor recordings to make insightful decisions.

Data Accuracy: Ensuring that the data being collected is accurate and reflects the actual behavior of website visitors. You do not want to make decisions based on bad data.

Data-Lakes: A centralized repository for storing and managing large volumes of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data in its raw, native format. It is a type of data storage architecture that is designed to accommodate a wide variety of data types and formats.

Goal and Conversion Tracking: Checking the proper configuration of website goals and conversion tracking, and ensuring that the data being collected is accurate.

Customization and site and User Segmentation: Evaluating the use of custom dimensions and segments in the website analytics to better understand user behavior and experience.

Reporting: Reviewing the existing reports and dashboards to ensure that they provide meaningful insights and actionable recommendations. I believe each Channel should have its own dashboard to help those departments optimize Conversions in a timely manner.

Recommendations: I can help provide recommendations for improvements in data collection, analysis, and reporting to enhance analytics, however with my development background I can also help with the implementation of these recommendations.

Keywords/SERPs. Analysis – a local SEO audit looking at SERPs for the keywords and phrases you are hoping your business will be found for, in order to identify where you stand relative to your competitors and other websites/content. these Keywords can also be beneficial to Paid Media which may not be using the latest keywords found in these reports.
