How to track search queries with GA
-
Hi there,
I am trying to track my search queries on my site with GA. http://i.imgur.com/Pfkasco.png
Until now, I have to result? Any tips?

Looking at your setup, I would have thought it should work so I'm a little confused.
if you're still having trouble, you can use filters in GA to custom extract the search term from the URL and pass it through to GA.

Hola Amigo,
I think you misunderstood my question. I want to track the search queries within my site with my search bar.
Thanks for the answer!

Hi there!
This is actually a fairly simple process but you will want to use Google Search Console instead of Google Analytics:
The good news is that Google Search Console is **FREE! **
-
Sign into GSC and click search traffic
-
Then click search analytics
-
See the queries button? Select that!
You can use the different configurations on this page to filter your website traffic and find queries that landed users on your pages. Hope you found this helpful!

It's look exactly like this: recherche?controller=search&orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=botte&noproduct_text=Il+n%27a+aucun+produit
the keyword is botte

What is the website you need to set up tracking on? Can you give me an example of a URL when someone has searched?

Which Search Engine Do Women Primarily Prefer?
I found a study in 2005 titled "Men Are From Google, Women Are From Yahoo" showing that women at that time preferred Yahoo as their primary search engine. I'm unable to track down updated statistical data to determine which search engine women primarily prefer. Any links to studies or resources would be greatly appreciated!

Getting People to Leave Product Reviews, When they've reached our site in search of reviews
We have a product review website that has been showing a steady increase in organic traffic. However we seem to be having a disconnect between what happens when a visitor arrives. We essentially want a visitor coming to our website in search of a review, to LEAVE a review for another product they may have used... Any suggestions on ways we might encourage this? We are kind of newbies at this!

Can you track "Add to home screen" for ios devices?
I was curious to know if there was a way to track in analytics users "adding to home screen" on ios devices. With the new ios map not receiving so much love and google maps "web app" process getting more attention, I feel knowing this stat would help us decide if we really need a native app or not. Our customers don't normally return within the year and when they do its about 2-3 (normally on a desk top), To us it does not completely justify the idea of making a native app with the world being so app heavy now a days. Any thoughts are always appreciated.

Why are brand, company name queries not showing up on Google SERP1?
I'm a bit confused today at Google's SERPs for a number of queries I've done. The first one that sparked my interest is when I searched for 'pinterest' (no quotes) and pinterest.com was NOT on the first page. In fact, the first pinterest.com result was on page 3 and was the page for somebody named Bil Chamberlain, who himself must be more related to the search term pinterest than pinterest.com itself. I've done this for a variety of search terms, signed out of google, signed in, and some companies' home page, or website in general comes up, and some do not. search for facebook, facebook.com is #1 search for united airlines, united.com's "Club and Lounges" page is on SERP 5. Am I missing something in google's search result methodology? I'd love to be directed to some article or discussion related to this because the last time I checked, most brand name or company name queries turned out company or brand home pages as reesult #1. I very well may just be behind the times. CCpjw

Forced Page Views and Search Engines?
I have a website that was built for the primary purpose of showing HTML 5 capabilities. With this, we have to create forced page views within analytics in order to receive any data about consumer behavior on the site. Are search engines viewing these forced page views as actual webpages? Does it even effect SEO efforts?
