Organic conversions
-
Hi,
Is there any way (Analytics & other tools) how I can see where organic conversions come from? What search queries were used or at least what landing pages converted? Ideally, I would like exact search queries. I know I have list of these in GSC but not conversions. Analytics doesn't provide these so I cannot link them with conversions. Is there any realiable tool that is safe and won't use our data as benchmark or won't offer any form of transparency that will be useful for our competitors.
Thanks.

Hi John,
We are researching Keyword Hero. How safe is it in the terms of data? I believe we need to link it with our GA. I'm always very careful about linking GA as I don't want to provide any insights to my competitors.

When you use technique one, you would be correct but If you install Keyword Hero you will have access to exact keyword to conversion data.
Depending on how soon you need to produce a report I would start with the first technique I laid out until Keyword hero has enough data.
Let me know if you need anymore help.

Hi John,
Thanks for this. So do I understand it right - I still won't know exactly what query delivered a conversion. I will just have close indication based 'group of queries' -> leading to 'landing pages' -> that delivered 'No of conversions'
Am I right here?

Hi Katarina,
You have a couple options here. One thing you can do is use the landing page report in Google Analytics with an organic segment on, this will help you determine which organic landing pages are leading to conversions and what the conversion rate of each landing page is. I recommend exporting this data into google sheets. Next, you can use a google sheets add-on called "Search analytics for sheets" to pull in the exact queries you received traffic from and which landing page they lead to. The final step is using a "vlookup" formula (or doing this manually) to map the search queries to your landing pages and conversions. So the resulting table headings would be: Search Query - Landing Page - Conversions - Conversion Rate.
This will give you groups of queries that led to landing pages that led to conversions.
Another option is a tool called "Keyword Hero" which helps unlock search queries in Google Analytics using some advanced data science. This will be easier and more efficient once you set it up but it will take time to have enough data to act on. I recommend setting up this tool ASAP and starting with the manually route until you have enough data with Keyword Hero.
Hope that helps!

When I click on organic search, the biggest drop is on keyword "not provided". What does this mean?
I am trying to identify the reason for the drop in organic search.

We have a client that wants to apply UTM URL tagging to track local organic traffic in Google Analytics. Is there any benefit in doing this?
One of our clients requested that we apply UTM URL tagging to better track organic traffic in Google Analytics. We found this to be an odd request because we are most familiar with UTM tracking for special campaigns (referral tracking, PPC, email tracking, etc). Is there any benefit of applying UTM tags to urls to analyze local organic traffic in Google Analytics? Are there any resources out there about this? Thanks!

Specific Industry Website Conversion Rates: Lighting
Hi All, There's loads of info around on general retail conversion rates, but does anyone have any experience with online lighting shops and typical conversion rates? This is a highly price driven shopper, and from my experience so far they bounce around looking for the best price... We've recently taken ownership of this new site, and I'm not sure I can relate general metrics to this site... although there is lots of work to do on here! Cheers in advance.

Uptick in not tracked conversions / anyone have a list of things that google analytics will not track
There seems to have been an uptick in users on our site not being tracked in Google Analytics cause I see a lot more un-tracked revenue in the last 6 months then I used to. I know analytics is still working as it has been tracking a normal amount of visits but I assumed there might be a reason less would be actually showing up in analytics (mabye a change is what is being reported as organic). I know a lot of stuff goes into "not provided" such as logged in search and stuff like that but is there a list of all of the ones that go into not provided and all that just do not get tracked (javascript not enabled, iOS?). If it could be something else as well let me know. Thanks for the help!

One of my clients has english language websites targeted for USA and UK audience with some content variations but60%-70% of the content on site remains the same. The site is hosted in USA. One is hosted on brandname.co.uk and one is on brandname.com. The precuations that we have already taken to save it from being marked duplicates are: 1. used rel=alternate element for all product detail pages2. currency in both the sites are different that is GBP and USD3. have tried to differenttate the product by using different product specific terms like Publishing Year: vis a vis published in:Author Vis a vis Written byFormat vis a vis binding type Add to cart vis a vis add to basket and so on What remains the same: 1. Title structure 2. Description 3. Product Name 4. About the product text

Looking for a Drupal module to track conversions...
I don't use drupal very often, so I'm looking for some help. We manage two sites in drupal, and the way they are set up, it creates a new thank you page every time someone fills out a contact form. The thank you page displays the information that was entered, so I assume it is necessary to create a page to do this (this was set up before I came on board). What I'm trying to do is track conversions in analytics by thank you page, but because a different node is created for every page, it makes things really difficult. My guess is that there's some kind of module or shortcut that could make this easier. Do any of you know of something, or preferably, is there something you're using that you'd endorse? Thanks for your help. -Adam

Organic bounce rate after site re-launch
3 months ago a client of mine re-launched theoir web site (after having a lot of work done on it). Since then, many of the SEO indications are good - more non-paid keywords sending search visits, more organic visits overall, more URLs receiving entrances via search, etc. The issue is that their bounce rate has been increasing pretty much EVERY week since. Has anyone seen a similar issue and what could a potential solution be for this? Thanks everyone!
