Semalt: Google Analytics And Landing Page Integration

Every internet marketer has to know all bene ts of integrating Google Analytics with a website. The program allows for the tracking of various aspects of website performance. One of these aspects is landing page performance.

Landing pages are indispensable in marketing. They make the rst impression and affect many other online business success factors including social media presence and conversion rates. Therefore, tracking and measuring landing page performance is highly needed when making decisions on improving the business return on investment.

Google Analytics integration gives you a full picture of a customer. It allows you to track every social interaction, analyze visitor traf c, and track outbound links. It also provides you with useful insights to convert these metrics into real results for business improvement.

Artem Abgarian, the Semalt expert, tells that two methods can be used to integrate landing pages with Google Analytics. One method uses Script Manager, and the other involves manually adding landing page domains to Google Analytics.

Integration Using Script Manager The rst step of this procedure involves getting the website tracking ID. Upon signing up for GA, a user is given a script with a unique tracking code. The user is supposed to integrate that code into his/her site. The code is needed again when there is a change in the site's theme or the user wants to add Analytics to a part of the website.
