Google is testing a “complete revamp” of its Google Analytics E-commerce aimed at providing insights into the entire customer journey, not just the purchase itself.
New metrics include: product detail views, ‘add to cart’ actions, internal campaign clicks, the success of internal merchandising tools, the checkout process, and purchase.
It’s also possible to build audience segments directly from funnel reports to analyze user actions like cart and product page abandons. Funnels are available at the device category level as shown in the screenshot below.
Enhanced E-commerce is built on Universal Analytics, so you’ll need to have installed Universal Analytics on your site before getting started. More detail on set-up is available here.
We believed that we already had efficient Analytics solution deployed, but we decided to give BijouMind Interactive an opportunity to improve our DIY setup.
I must say that we were pleased with the immediate benefits of Beth’s knowledge of how to set up Analytics, Adwords, SEO keywords and how to design banner ads, which saw our advertising costs reduce while our website conversions increased significantly.
Beth then suggested some improvements to our pages and showed us how we could directly compare the new page with the old page by setting up a split test with Google Website Optimizer, in-house!
The difference you’ve made to my business is astounding! It’s been over two months now and your services have been paid for several times over!
