"Not enough data for selected time period" - Google My Business Insights
-
Hello All,
Has anyone come across the following message "Not enough data for selected time period" when they choose a time frame in Google My Business (GMB) for one week. It seems to be consistent with "Customer Actions" and "Where Customers View Your Business on Google sections.
I'm confused because I am pulling in a minimum of 500 searches a week according to the "How customers search for your business" section. I can scroll over top of each day in these areas and manually write down the results, but what's the point of offering a 'one week" insight if it won't calculate for you.
If anyone has had the same issue or knows what's going on, please let me know. Thanks!

You bet, Matt!

Thanks so much for sharing this Miriam! It's good to know something is happening seemingly across the board, even if there is no solution.
Appreciate the response!

Hey Matt!
Some good news and bad news. There is definitely a glitch going on. So, you're not alone in what you're seeing, which is the good news. Here is Joy Hawkins' forum chatting about this:

The bad news is, nobody knows quite what's going on with this, but definitely read the thread.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply Miriam. I read this article the other day before I posted in here actually
Unfortunately, this seems to be quite consistent. I've seen results like these for months on some of my accounts.

Hey Matt,
I've seen this crop up here and there: https://www.en.advertisercommunity.com/t5/Basics-for-Business-Owners/quot-Not-enough-data-quot-in-Insights/td-p/1525698
It could be a glitch. Would you mind checking again in a week and letting me know if it resolves? Thanks!

How do I find out where my "direct traffic" came from?
Last weekend we had a significant rise in traffic to our site. Digging in to Google Analytics, most of it has come from the USA, with some from Canada, Australia and a few other countries. It has all gone to the same article on our website. I have also found that it has mostly come from Safari (in app), on an ipad and iphone. Google Analytics has put this down as Direct traffic. My feeling is that it is not. Could it be from a social media app - perhaps someone with many followers has pinned from our site, or something along these lines. Could it actually be organic search traffic and Google misattributing it as Direct? Bounce rate and time on site is fine, so I don't think it's a bot / spam.

Google News Bug
During today and yesterday we are getting a lot of visits (Over 400) from http://news.google.com the visits are all at the same time and to different pages, the visits are very brief so much so that it pushes our bounce rate up to 69% in GA. Is there anything we can do to stop this? Thank you in advance?

Google analytics and software applications
Hei Guys. I think i know the answer for this one but i thought i ask you in order to be 100% sure. Ok let's go.. So i set up url based goals in Google analytics. My website (what are running on WordPress) has google analytics enabled but just before customers makes desired action i have to send them to the application page. Trick is that the application page is not running on wordpress and doesn't have google analytic tracking. After customer fills the application form i send him to my /thank-you page on my wordpress site. My question is: Does the conversion still count because customer left my website for a minute in order to fill in the application form? Best Regards, Tauri

Google Places Over Reporting Directions Requests to a Business
I posted a screenshot of a client's Google Places profile reporting strange statistics for driving/direction requests to my website. The post is here: http://www.hoodwebmanagement.com/2054/weird-google-places-statistics/. Full info is there but I have attached a screenshot here as well. I'm wondering if anyone has seen this error with another local business - especially a local business that shares its exact address with another business, since I think that is the cause. weird-google-places-statistics.png?d407e3 weird-google-places-statistics.png?d407e3

How do I best segment tablets on Google Analytics
I would like to find a way to best segment out my tablet traffic to measure performance; however I'm finding that there are road blocks. It doesn't seem that device operating systems or screen resolutions have clear cut differences in the tablet/mobile versions. Has anyone here found a good way to create a "tablet" segment in Google Analytics? Right now I'm having to lean on solely the ipad traffic to get indicators of tablet performance. Thanks!

How to change a url for google analytics account
We recently changed the url of a client's website. Is there a way to change the url on the ga account instead of creating a new account so that we don't lose comparative data? Thanks! Sorry- I know this is a novice question.
