Google Analytics: Set it up right and use the full analytics power of the free platform

by Christian Bartens on

Web analytics has become a must-have component of any company’s online marketing strategy and Google Analytics is arguably the most powerful, free web stats solution available.

Although a basic Google Analytics implementation is fairly easy and only requires copying and pasting of code provided by Google, more advanced features are slightly more complex. However, it is exactly these additional features that take a little more effort to implement and configure that will provide the most value.

Datalicious can help.

Our team of experts will set-up and customise Google Analytics using our proven Datalicious methodology to provide a maximum amount of flexibility while limiting the amount of IT resources required from your side.

Apart from you to accurately measure campaign results and website performance we are also able to implement any of the following more advanced features for you.
  • Dashboard configuration and automation
  • Setting of conversion goals and funnels
  • Enabling of internal search term tracking
  • Custom segmentation of website visitors 
  • Enabling of e-commerce reporting including revenue
  • Google Analytics based search engine optimisation 
  • Integration of Google AdWords campaign reporting
  • Integration of Google Website Optimizer test reports
In addition to the above standard Google Analytics functionality we would strongly recommend to also implement the Datalicious campaign pathing plug-in. The custom code developed by Datalicious is not available anywhere else and will enable your company to not only attribute conversions back to the last campaign clicked on (standard in Google Analytics) but to report on all paid and organic media channels that participated in conversions.

During the entire initial implementation and subsequent maintenance phases customer will be able to submit support tickets online.

<div>I just had a quick look and it seems your script has some added '' which it shouldn't (see article below). If that doesn't work try installing the old non-asynchronous script maybe.</div><div><br></div> <div><a href="http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=174090">http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=174090</a></div&gt;

Hi Christian, Thank You for your answer. This may sound silly where is the "/" you have mentioned? and how do you see my website script. finally, i think i’m on your linked in page recently, i’m in Sydney. Zahrina

Christian Bartens responded:

The code is at the very bottom of the page and thinking about it, it would probably be best to use the old non-asynchronous code as it sounds like your CMS might be adding the ''. You should be able to get the old script from within GA. <div> <br clear="all"><a href="http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=55480">http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=55480</a><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-weight: normal;"><br> </span></b></span></font><br></div>
