Meaningful use of Search Analytics

While understanding monthly report of a website, common mistake is considering that

Search data = ClickStream data, but this is NOT true.

Search analytics combine qualitative data with quantitative data points both derived from search terms and patterns, like

• click-through rates ( CTRs )
• traffic volume
• conversion rates, and more.

• Qualitative data measures user behaviour and the reasons driving that behaviour

For example, generating  pop-ups  on HOME page as surveys can provide qualitative insight from visitors.

• Quantitative data is more often than not, core numerical values.

Examples are

• The number of visits to a website
• Number of people who purchased a product

Clickstream data measures the actions taken by users on your website by tracking what and where they click.

Search Analytics Campaigns and KPIs

As part of your Analytics Program, you should write down 4 levels of KPIs(Key Performance Indicators) that define objectives and results.

Idea behind is to know and understand

1. what positive results are happenning on your site
2. where or on which page, on which section of page, positive result or interaction took place
3. How much value each kind of interaction drives to the business

These 4 levels of KPIs help keep your eye on the ball and acknowledges when you get a touchdown to your virtual shop.

These KPIs are typically classified as: macro, micro, value, and action metrics.

1. Macro Level metrics

They look at a large subset of information. In the realm of SEO metrics, these should be considered first or thoughtfully “initiated” from your side.

Examples might include

1. Total number of inbound links to a page
2. Total number of visitors by all keywords from all search engines

2. Micro Level Metrics

Application on data of Macro metrics.  They are best derived as smaller parts of a macro metric.

Take for example, after counting total number of backlinks to website, micro metric would be to look at what domains that are linking to specific  pages of site to get more idea of strong sections of website.

3. Action Level Metrics

Action metrics capture  user’s input or response. It is about probing of intentions of visitors.

If visitor has clicked deeper into any part of map or enlarged some geographical portion, this is considered as action metric.

Testing out different ad copies can result in more number of clicks and action metrics analysis is useful here.

4. Value Level Metrics

Value metrics are directly tied to sales or revenue or any other factors that act as the core driving forces of your website.

Click on web banners that generates revenue for you, purchasing from an ecommerce site, or subscribing to your newsletter are value metrics.
