It\u2019s free to use, easy to learn, and offers a bunch of benefits for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/sem\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">search engine marketing (SEM)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> campaigns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that said, it\u2019s no wonder that many marketers are satisfied with Google Analytics. Its wide range of benefits makes it a must-have for people who need to increase their conversion rates. However, doing so is easier said than done. To optimise your website for conversions, you need to track them first by setting up goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does setting up goals mean anyway? In the context of Google Analytics, you have to set up and manage goals to measure the actions and behaviours of users. Your goals will represent completed activities called \u201cconversions\u201d, which will require you to set up a goal first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, with our help, you\u2019ll make good use of Google Analytics and learn how to maximise its fullest potential. Sure, it may seem tricky for first-time users, but once you get the hang of setting up goals to track conversions, nothing is stopping you from reaching your goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get you started, let\u2019s discuss the fundamentals of setting up goals and tracking conversions with Google Analytics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"1\"><b>Understanding The Importance Of Goals<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17668\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/google-analytics.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"835\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/google-analytics.jpg 835w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/google-analytics-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/google-analytics-768x405.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 835px) 100vw, 835px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When using Google Analytics, always prioritise your goals above all. Your goal is the benchmark that will determine your business\u2019s online growth. But how do they affect your performance? What makes goals one of the most prominent features of Google Analytics?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ability to monitor your progress is why your goals are vital for business. Setting goals will help pave the way for your next strategy since you have a clear overview of your website\u2019s performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of your goals as your extra pair of eyes and ears. Whenever you need to track your progress, you can check your goals to see how well your website is doing in targeting its objectives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, let\u2019s say you manage an e-commerce website. If the goal for users is to make a purchase, then Google Analytics will let you discover how many customers are buying from your online store.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, marketers with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/seo\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">search engine optimisation (SEO)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in mind will appreciate Google Analytics, thanks to its feature that allows users to monitor keyword performance.

Doing so is the most crucial step of all since you\u2019ll discover the effectiveness of a strategy before you even try it out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could ask yourself questions related to your pre-existing goals, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will it help me build an audience?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will it increase sales?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does it benefit my target audience?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does it obtain customer data?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"4\"><b>Step 2: Create A Goal<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After planning your objectives, head to Google Analytics and create an account. If you already have an account, then sign in and go to the \u201cAdmin\u201d account. Once you\u2019re there, you\u2019ll have to fill out a few forms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17666\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/google-goals.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"699\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/google-goals.jpeg 699w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/google-goals-300x188.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"5\"><b>Step 3: Choose A Type Of Goal<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll be given four types of goals: URL Destination, Visit Duration, Pages\/Visits, and Event. Choose one that will support your SEO and\/or SEM campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Url Destination. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common type of goal is the URL Destination goal. Using this goal will help you track down URLs and find out the number of visitors. You could use URL Destination goals for sales, confirmation, and download pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Visit Duration. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discover how long your users remain on a specific page with the Visit Duration goal. Use this type of goal if your objective is to improve user engagement and experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Pages\/Visits. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to know how many pages users visit your website, select the Pages or Visits type of goal. The purpose of this goal is to find ways on how you can improve your site\u2019s user engagement, same with the Visit Duration type of goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Events. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to the previous types of goals, Events are quite complicated to use. Before you choose this type of goal, you need to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/analytics\/devguides\/collection\/gajs\/eventTrackerGuide\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">schedule an event<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"6\"><b>Step 4: Track Your Goals<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you start gaining leads and users are visiting your website, you can view your performance under the \u201cConversion\u201d section in the dropdown menu. That way, you&#8217;ll find out which pages of your website are gaining more traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"7\"><b>A Marketer\u2019s Best Friend<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Analytics is every marketer\u2019s best friend.
