Tracking Organic Seach Queries From GA to Companies
-
Okay, so this is a kinda ridiculous, long shot whim du jour. But it's so intriguing I can't resist.
Last week, GA reveals that my client had 6 queries (vs. 0 since the beginning of time) in the format:
Large Red Widgets #3 in Obscure Suburb (of my client's head office)
Large Red Widgets #3 just happen to be expensive and profitable.
My question: is there a snowball's chance in hell of tracking this query any further? I'll take what I can get -- since not many people are interested in red widgets #3 in said obscure suburb. I'd like enough info so a sales rep can follow up. These folks are not shy.
Thoughts? Next steps? Idiot proof instructions on where specifically to look in GA?
-
Yes, many thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for.

There's nothing you can do explicitly, Daniel, because GA's terms of service specifically prohibit tracking anything that can provide personally-identifiable information.
However! You could get lucky with the Network Domain dimension.
- Drill down to the keyword you've specified under Search -> Organic
- Once that keyword's info is displayed, click the Secondary Dimension dropdown at the top of the chart
- Select the Technology down arrow and then select Network Domain
Most of these results are typically ISP domains, but if the search was done from within a larger company's network you might get lucky and see their web domain on the list next to the keyword. That's as close as you'll get, but at least it would give your client's sales team a lead to start investigating/cultivating in other ways.
That what you were looking for?

Split test content experiment - Why can't GA identify a winner here?
I have been running a content experiment for a short while now and GA has just ended it saying it cannot determine a winner. Looking at the images (links below), without any form of analysis I can already see a pattern of greater success in Variation 1. It ended with a 93% probability of outperforming the original yet the content experiment ended with no winner. Does this mean the 95% confidence threshold I set should've been lowered? Ultimately I'm going to choose this as my winner but why didn't GA push it as the winner? Is there something I am missing? Image 1 - Showing e-commerce performance (objective of split test was transactions) Image 2 - Showing conversions (same split test, same objective, just different report) Your thoughts and comments will be appreciated.

Any possibility to track goal completions/conversions at a sub-page (non-landing page) level in Google Analytics?
We’re promoting our sub-page it's http://www.flightcentre.ca/flights/london on our homepage under the slideshow so I need to see how many people went to the homepage, then went to this page, and then converted (enquired or booked.) What I can’t see is how many people did that. I know how to look up how many people landed on that page and then converted, but I need to know how many people navigated there and then converted. Is that possible? I can only see Goal Completions if I look at that page as a landing page, but that only presents a very slim view of the total visits when compared to those pages generally. Any way to check the entire behavior or activities happening through this page i.e. /flights/london?

Tracking Adwords users who sumbit a contact form after clicking through my Landing page.
I have a user, Jane, who comes to my landing page through an AdWords campaign. She click off my landing page, browses the website, then submits a contact form on one of the other pages on the site. My problem is when I receive the email from the contact form, there is no identification that this user came through adwords. If she had submitted the contact form on my landing page this wouldn't be a problem, but she submitted the form from elsewhere on the site. I know that I can see a NUMBER of how many goal conversions were achieved this way in Analytics. This is not what I want. I need something to identify it on the CONTACT FORM so that the intake staff in my office can credit that lead to the correct campaign. Any idea on how to achieve this. Technically, I am using the latest version of Wordpress and the Contact Form 7 plug-in. I can change plug-ins if needed.

Goal Tracking WIth Optimizely
Hi Guys, I am finally delving into the world of conversion rate optimization and split A/B Testing.

I have setup a variation in optimizely, so i can see what effect the change would have, but i am struggling. I am trying to add the hellobar via crazy egg to a variation (it's just a simple piece of javascript), but when I do I get the following error "Error evaluating variation javascript:

Tracking homepage visits
Hi Mozzers, I run a website that has some buttons on the homepage. These URL's are not unique as they are accessible from the nav bar at the top of the page. I want to see the conversion rate of the homepage buttons. Is this possible? I currently use Crazy Egg to see how many people are clicking on the buttons but I want more information as I'm sure whether they are converting. Thanks, Karl
