GOOGLE ANALYTICS AUDITS
PROFESSIONAL GOOGLE ANALYTICS SETUP AND CODE REVIEW
This comprehensive Google Analytics Audit service will ensure that your Google Analytics tracking has been correctly implemented. It will identify and fix issues like malformed or duplicate code snippets, incorrect or superfluous data in the reports, mis-firing events, and so on.
You may already be trying to resolve tracking issues and discrepancies, or you may just want to have a thorough evaluation. A comprehensive Google Analytics audit will identify all tracking issues and fix them. This is a fundamental step to ensuring that you have credible data for making the informed decisions that ultimately drive traffic and increase conversions.
PROCESS OVERVIEW
The Google Analytics Audit process involves an extremely detailed, technical, and practical 65-point audit that will ensure your data is clean and accurate.
It includes a top to bottom, sitewide audit of your Google Analytics implementation. A few of the topics that will be covered:
- Sub-domain and cross-domain issues. These can break sessions and cause traffic to be artificially overstated (and mis-attributed)
- Redirects. These can wipe out campaign tracking parameters.
- Ecommerce / enhanced ecommerce tracking. This must be validated to ensure conversion funnels and transaction details are correctly captured.
- Campaign tracking. Ensure that all marketing is tagged properly so you can accurately calculate marketing return on investment.
- Filters and views. Used improperly, filters can give you an incomplete or, worse, inaccurate view of the data.
- Query string cleanup. Clean up messy URLs to make reporting easier and avoid triggering issues with excessive data
- Goals and funnels. Make sure you’re accurately tracking important site milestones.
