Query: Analytics Goal Conversion
-
Please see the attached image. Can anyone please explain the attached image.
Goal Overview tab says 8 Goals.
but in the attached image says, 3 visitors finished, I've even set the required step as well, so it is also not possible to goal might have completed from any other page.
Thanks

You're Right Doug, Thanks for the help. I got the answer

I don't know if you saw my edit to the reply above, but the funnels you set up in the goal setup only apply to the funnel visualisation report which may account for some disparity with the numbers.
I usually take a look at the Reverse Goal Path, selecting a tight time frame to check the numbers. I'll often see more goal conversions here (as it's not applying the funnel) than when I look at the funnel visualisation report.
You'll see the direct entrances that didn't pass through the funnel, but you should be able to count up the visits that did and tally these with the funnel visualisation.
The Goal Flow visualisation is always a bit out as it uses a sample of the data. Good for big picture stuff, but you can't use it if you want to know the exact numbers.
The Goals Overview does not take your funnel into account. It's the total number of people hitting your goal page regardless of whether they followed your funnel or not so this will tend to be higher. Again you can use the Goal Reverse Path or Goal URLs and select the previous step as a secondary dimension to see how the number work.

Doug, it is quite possible that some visitors would directly be going to the goal Page, but when I've already created a funnel for goal conversion and required step is also there so I assume that it should not be counted as converted goals at least not in Google Analytics, isn't it?
Its been a week now, but tracking has started yesterday only. Required step added the same day I created Goals and funnel.

Please check the first image in Question. that one is admin section screen shot.
-
Providing a screen shot of the admin screen where the goal is set up may be of use.
-
It looks like you've getting some visits directly to your goal page. I suspect you'll find that the page is in google's index try looking for:
site:www.{yourdomain}.com "thanks"
How long have your goals been set up? Do your current goal setting apply for the entire period? When did you add the required step?
Edit: Also note that the funnels you set up in the goal setup only apply to the funnel visualisation report which may account for some disparity with the numbers.
Do you know how many actual conversion there have been? How many contact emails?
-
This is only Goal which I've created as an experiment. I need to create several other goals as well.
Could you please be specific with what exactly you need from me?
PFA the other possible screen shot for your perusal
Thanks,
-
Can you provide some more information - such as a screenshot of your goals overview page? I'd hard so see what's happening from just the one image of your funnel.
How many goals have you set up? Is this the only one?
The image you've posted does indeed show that nobody entered the goal page without going through the proceeding step.

SEO and Conversions from a C-Level perspective
Hi guys! Do you have any suggestion about articles about how to work with conversions and SEO from a C-level perspective? I know it is very open question, but there might be articles like (https://moz.com/ugc/how-can-pr-seo-and-ceo-people-work-together-for-link-building) that are great and written on this subject. Could you please share if you have any examples? I'm thinking for these perspectives: What knowledge and insight does a management team need to take control and drive the SEO and CRO related work (from a executive level)? How do the management team connect business strategy and goals with the SEO and CRO area? Have a great day!

Brand Name: Conversion Rate Optimizing: Eponymous VS Generic
Good day all, We are entertaining the idea of changing the Domain Name & Brand Name for straplessfashion.com. While still in development, the website sells women undergarments. We did some survey research and it seems that women (age 18-40) really liked either "Demi's Dream" or "Almost Skin" as a good name. More specifically, Almost Skin seems to be the more popular choice over "Demi's Dream". I think "Almost Skin" catches attention quicker and may work best in PPC. However, when personalizing a brand name is considered, "Demi's Dream" might be the best choice. Would you please offer your advise on which of these two names might be the best for a new Domain and Brand name for the website mentioned above? Which would convert better? Thank you for your help.

Tracking Adwords Conversions for eCommerce ROI
I'm working with a rather large eCommerce customer who needs to be able to track their Adwords conversions for the purpose of determining the ROI of their Adwords campaigns. I've installed code from Google Adwords Conversions on their eCommerce page, but it doesn't seem to be calculating values correctly. Also, where would setting goals in Analytics come in to play if I'm trying to track the conversions of specific Adwords conversions?

Analytics (Other Than Google) & A/B Testing Tools
Hey, I have Google Analytics on my website, like most people, but I was looking at some other analytics and testing tools like heat maps, click maps, A/B, etc. I was hoping that some of you could recommend a few that you use to see where pages are going wrong, track user behaviour and to how improve conversion rate. I have had a look at a few websites like: https://www.clicktale.com/

Non-branded search before branded search in Google Analytics
A lot of organic search phrases contain branded terms. Does Google Analytics provide a possibility to track wheteher the first interactor with the website is due to a non-branded search term? Example: On monday someone search for 'online shoes' and on thursday this visitor search for 'shoestore.com'. Ist it possible in the Thursday report in Google Analytics to see that this visitor has first arrived on the site with the search term 'online shoes'? The same question can be asked for direct/none traffic. is it possible to see whether these visits ca be attributed to an organic search term?

Landing Page Conversion
Hi, I'm having a few issues with my landing page conversion. I have followed several guides found on this site (especially the unbounce.com ones) but what'ever I try my landing page CRO doesn't seem to increase. the landing page in question is http://www.drivingtestnow.co.uk/find-driving-test-cancellations. I'm getting traffic to my landing page solely through PPC traffic from Google. My stats are rough as follows: Arrive at landing page - 100% (obviously)

Click through to buy now page - 15-20%
Actually complete the buy now process - 1% Conversion from organic traffic landing directly on the homepage at http://www.drivingtestnow.co.uk is having a conversion rate of about 5%. It seems odd to me that my highly targeted ad campaign and landing page are convertign so badly compared to the less atrgeted organic search traffic and homepage. Have you got any ideas why this might be occurring and also any tips on how I can improve the conversion rate for my product? Gary...0
