#1 : Your analytics = Cattle Trucked

@OptimiseOrDie

#1 : Common problems (GA) Dual purpose goal page

One page used by two outcomes and not split

Cross domain tracking Where you jump between sites, this borks the data

Filters not correctly set up Your office, agencies, developers are skewing data

Code missing or double code Causes visit splitting, double pageviews, skews bounce rate

Campaign, Social, Email tracking etc. External links you generate are not setup to record properly

Errors not tracked (404, 5xx, Other) You are unaware of error volumes, locations and impact

Dual flow funnels Flows join in the middle of a funnel or loop internally

Event tracking skews bounce rate it can skew bounce rate (example)

@OptimiseOrDie

#1 : Solutions Get a Health Check for your Analytics

Try @prwd, @danbarker, @peter_oneill

Invest continually in instrumentation

Aim for at least 5% of dev time to fix + improve

Stop shrugging : plug your insight gaps

Look at event tracking (Google Analytics)

If set up correctly, you get wonderful insights

Would you use paper instead of a till?

#2 : Solutions Usability testing and User Centred design

Champion UX+ - with added numbers

(Re)designing without inputs + numbers is guessing

You need one team on this, not silos

Ego, Opinion, Cherished notions fill gaps

Fill these vacuums with insights and data

Champion the users

Someone needs to take their side!

You need multiple tool inputs

Let me show you my core list

#5 : Your cycles are too slow

0 6 12 18

Months

Conversion

@OptimiseOrDie

#5 : Solutions Give Priority Boarding for opportunities

The best seats reserved for metric shifters

Release more often to close the gap

Kaizen continuous improvement Others call it JFDI (just f***ing do it)

Make changes AS WELL as tests, basically! These small things add up

RUSH Hair booking Over 100 changes No functional changes at all 37% improvement

Inbetween product lifecycles? The added lift for 10 days work, worth 360k

@OptimiseOrDie

#5 : Make your own cycles

@OptimiseOrDie

#6 : -channel tracking

One reason conversion is lower is channel jumps

You need to try and glue this together

Dont rely on amazing analytics promises

If you dont have a strategy here, you need one

You need to think about identifying the customer

At every touch point and micro or macro interaction

Loyalty, marketing, wifi, incentives, geo, instore = glue

Whats your strategy on post identification?

Do you rewrite the data or just ignore it?

@OptimiseOrDie

#6 : Cheap Mobile Tracking First, give mobile (and apps) unique numbers

Very reliable data source

Also make sure you add:

Ringback / Callback

Email

Chat

Web Forms

Lead Gen etc.

@OptimiseOrDie

#6 : So what does that get you? For the first time, analytics for THE PHONE and other channels

If youve got any phone sales or contact operation, this will change the game for you

Down to Google Keyword level, see what calls you get

What pages did people call you from?

What did they do before the call?

Which online marketing drove the call?

Where are you WASTING your money?

Who left your funnel but didnt actually leave?

And why does this matter?
