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!

Is Google's Knowledge Graph stealing sessions from the organic channel?
Does Google count it as an organic session in Google Analytics when a searcher clicks on the "get directions", "call" or even "website" from Google's Knowledge Graph. Are the articles that prove or disprove this question? Thanks!

Tracking Organic Traffic and Conversions from multiple TLDs with Google Tag Manager
Hello Guys, I want to track traffic / conversions from different domains (basically same brand - but a lot of different TLD's). The "problem" is that the main conversion which I want to track always happens on the .com TLD and all other TLD's link to there. The problem is, that now the traffic always counts as Referral Traffic, even after setting up cross domain tracking over the google tag manager... So example: Sessions begins on example.co.uk/landing-page11 after User searched on it on google. He decides to buy the product and therefore moves to example.com for the checkout process. No I will have the conversion in my google analytics under referral with example.co.uk. --> but I want to have it under organic, and not under referral. How I can manage this? Thanks for you Help!

Need help understanding what happened to our organic search.
I help run an ecommerce business that mainly runs on Google organic search (yes, I realize this is not a good place to be). Last April, we saw around 25-30% of our organic search cut. I’m pretty sure it was due to the mobile update but we had some changes in the past month or two before that. I’m looking for someone to review my analytics account and see what happened. Possibly this is called an audit? Also, we’re looking to ask some questions about long term strategy as we are thinking about a redesign and switching to a new platform. Maybe more content? Maybe more social?

Organic Traffic going to Direct? How to find the ultimative proof
Hi there, a few months ago we had a new site launch. As we operate internationally, visitors in different countries do get redirected to the specific country subfolder. e.x. domain.com/it Since site launch. Direct Traffic is performing really really well(almost to good to be true) while organic is doing decent but not more. I'm quite sure, that a part of direct belongs to the organic channel. Though now I need strong arguments to fight against our own web development team. Do you have any suggestions, where and how I can find strong evidence of my hypotheses? Thanks 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!

New GA interface - Number of conversion by source
Hi Guys, Hope this is an easy one for a GA ninja. In the new GA interface, how can I view the number of conversions by source, instead of the default conversion rate by source. For example, if I want to view the number of conversion from Adwords. I'm looking at Goals > Source / Medium > Google CPC and looking at Goal Set 1. However all data is expressed in percentages. Thanks in advance!
