Want to set up many goals in GA

[Amr-Haffar]

Hi there,

I have been reading about setting up goals in Google Analytics.

There is a 20 goal limit, but I have many goals that I want to track (basically I have many thank-you pages that I would like to track).

What is the best way to go about setting up more than 20 goals?

Thanks

The Logic of Google may just be power I wouldn't know, setting up more goals makes it a tad harder for reporting which isn't super

To set up a conversion in Moz you would need to do it in GA . I suppose you could add the thank you pages in Moz's landing page with the assumption that the only way to get to them is via the landing pages but i wouldn't be sure of the accuracy of this.

You can try event tracking which involves you putting a bit of code on all the pages you want to track but to be honest I don't have any experience with this you can read about it here

Thanks so much for your input.

Is there any logic to having a limit on goals one can set?

Would it be possible to track conversions and set up goals in Moz?

Best bet then would be to create more tracking under the same property and just set up more goals, you can also look into setting up a goal that tracks pages in the URL that have thankyou etc. in but I always found this tricky

As I see, that would not work for me I think. My thank you pages contain unique content. Some pages offer you an on-demand video, others will offer a whitepaper of case study.

So that would probably not work.

I more meant have one thank you pages (that multiple landing pages direct to) and track that, you should be able to reverse goal check for landing pages, you could also set up a goal for thank you pages but i tend to find it a bit harder. Obviously this is just my opinion but I think it will save you some time and loads of goals whilst achieving the same result

Thanks very much.

Would it make sense to create 1 goal that tracks several "thank you" pages?

"Goals are limited to 20 per reporting view. To track more than 20 Goals, create an additional view for that property, or edit an existing Goal you don't need anymore."

what it basically means is create another property for the same website and use more, you may want to look into how you're tracking the goals though e.g. you can track things to the same landing page and then look at a reverse goal path to work out which landing page the user used to get to that goal thus you don't need to have as many goals.
