Google Analytics - Dashboard Question
-
I'm looking to set up a dashboard widget in Google Analytics that does the following but can't :
Shows traffic sources in a table as the dimension, and wanting to show goal completions to a specific product page and then only show what the average time spent (by source) on just those product pages. It looks like it's showing the whole session duration for the entire source, but I want to create a secondary filter that is only showing the time spent on those specific pages.
Can anyone help - or is this possible?
Thanks all!

That's kind of what I was thinking - kind of a bummer for what we're doing here, but we are definitely getting pretty granular.
Thanks again for all your help!!
Cheers,

Linked reports, which you pin to dashboards, can’t have metric filters or secondary dimensions (which is what you're after).
See limitations here - https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6099989?hl=en
You can create the widget you're looking for using my example above, but it does require a drill-down, so will not be able to display on the dashboard.

The biggest problem that I am having is I want to group all of the product pages (which is a goal), then by source show the amount of time spent by source across just those pages. Do you know if this is possible?
Thank you again for all your help!!

I understand, but this is not really a limitation of GA but the nature of dashboards in general.They're not meant to be drilled down into, they're there as one-glance snapshots.
In GA dashboards, you can of course click the widget title on the dash, which takes you through to the actual table which then allows you to click the source dimension and see the page by avg. time on page.

That is helpful, but I can't find a way to drill down to a secondary dimension on the widgets on a dashboard. We are creating a dashboard with 12 helpful widgets to demonstrate how traffic is creating shopping behavior and this one would be extremely helpful, but I am having problems with some of the limitations within GA.
Is this possible?

i think the challenge is you want to use two dimension on one table. it would have been possible if you that particular dimension can have sub-dimension like in the case of campaign whereby you can have dimension drilldown. Campaign>>>google property

Hey,
I think this is how you want to set it up - http://gyazo.com/30d080d53fda667a388beac516766f74
Then select 'Converters' as the Segment - http://gyazo.com/a77ef5f1814f7177717b805023bd28d7
Hope that's what you wanted?

How To Stop Google's "Fetch & Render" From Showing Up In Google Analytics
Hi all, Within Google's "Fetch & Render" (found in Google Search Console) is the ability to index certain pages from my website on-demand. Unfortunately, every time I ask Google to index a page, it registers as a bounce in Google Analytics. Also, if it means anything, my website (www.knowtro.com) is a single-page application, functioning similarly to Google. If you guys know of any solution to this problem, please help! I originally thought that Google would know to block its own Fetch & Render crawler from Google Analytics but that doesn't seem to be the case. Thanks, Austin

Google Analytics Question - Impressions & Queries Up, Sessions Down
I'm working with a client who, according to the Google Query report, impressions and sessions are up since we've started work with them about 6 months ago, but Google sessions are down. In moz, we're seeing a gradual, but steady increase in search visibility specifically with Google. Note: this is all organic. From when we started tracking queries, the first month we were tracking there were 43,581 impressions and 690 click throughs for the month. This past month there were 98,293 queries and 1015 clicks throughs for the month (granted not year over year data) - of these 1,015 clicks, 995 of them were from web. However, for those same time periods, sessions from Google are down over 30% - 1,750 vs. 1,189. I'm not sure how to interpret this. I realize that clicks and sessions are not a straightforward comparison, but I would think that if clicks were up according to the query report that sessions would also be up. Is it that some of these clicks are bouncing and therefore not being tracked as a session? Is there a potential issue with how data is being tracked?
