Query: Analytics Goal Conversion

[Visiblics]

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?

[Visiblics]

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

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.
