How can I distinguish new visitors from existing (customers) in Google Analytics to attain an avg # of new visitor traffic per day/week?

[Sundance_Kidd]

i do marketing for a business software site where we have hundreds of clients and each account has on avg 100 users. I am having a very challenging time to attempting to figure out the real number of unique traffic that our site receives. **(what's creating the issue is that we have thousands of user accounts where our users log-in via our site to access our app/platform).

Would love help with this!

Christian,

Actually you should be able to use your current GA to do this tracking, you should need need to set up a new property, and it is considered best practices to keep all of your data in one.

Your best bet will be to update your GA code to use the User ID feature.

Once set up properly this will allow your GA to track and retroactively set, all of your logging in users as one user across multiple devices.  This will allow you to much better see return visitors even when they are coming to you from a new device, as long as they sign in.
