  1. May E-learn Call: Using Google Analytics Nicolé Mandel (AETC National Resource Center) Nancy Warren (Pacific AETC)

  2. Objectives By the end of this session, participants will be able to: • Create a monthly evaluation report • List two ways you could use Google Analytics in your work • Describe three benefits of using Google Analytics for evaluation efforts

  3. Using Google Analytics Nicolé Mandel

  4. Google Analytics:A Program Evaluation Approach Nancy Warren, MPH

  5. Case study: TARGET Center

  6. Evaluation: parameters • How has redesign impacted usage? • Has the redesign increased or decreased usage? • Has usage changed in other ways (topics accessed, etc)? • Are we reaching the target audiences? • Where do we need further improvement?

  7. User Visits IncreaseOld Site (2011-12) vs. New Site (2012-13)

  8. Change in Visits:Old versus New site

  9. What are the terms we are using? • Element: what the user clicks • Page views: average # of pages viewed during a visit to the site • Unique page views: average number of unique pages viewed during a visit to the site • Time on page • Bounce rate: visits in which the person left the site from the entrance page without interacting with the page

  10. Begin evaluation at home (page) • What features are available on both the old and new home page? • How can we compare users across them?

  11. Assessing change between 2 time periods

  12. Poll 1: What are the challenges of comparing before/after websites in a redesign? • Some features will not exist in the new redesign • Some features will be presented differently in the new redesign • There are no challenges in comparing websites before/after

  13. Who’s visiting?: TARGET’s target “audience”

  14. Assessing change: the “audience”

  15. Poll 2: How has the new site design impacted target audience? • For most audiences, the new site has higher page views • For most audiences, the new site has higher unique visitors • For most audiences the new site has higher percentage of unique visitors • All of the above • None of the above

  16. New audiences added

  17. Top Pages Visited (by topic)

  18. Top Pages Visited (by topic)

  19. Poll 3: what is the clear difference with the new v. the old site? • The new site more often higher page views • The new site more often has more unique visitors • The new site more often has a higher percentage of unique visitors • All of the above

  20. Take Home of top 10 pages • Indications users can find pages they need more quickly and easily in new site • No “search” in top 10 for new site v old site • Higher % of unique page views in new site • Overall lower bounce rate • RSR users seem to be able to find pages without resorting to “search”

  21. Take Home of top 10 pages • Indications site has continuity with old site • Many sites similar in top 10 – RSR, Data, Webcasts/webinars, Events • Indications site is responding to wider target audience needs • RSR related pages appear in 3 of old sites top 10 pages but only 1 of new sites • New elements like “grantees and providers” made it in the top 10 page views

  22. Take Home of top 10 pages • Indications site needs more tweaking • Lower page views for top 10 in new site • Lower time per page for top 10 in new site

  23. Future Evaluation using Google Analytics • Ongoing needs assessment: rotate the questions we asked in AGM/USAC survey one question at a time via an embedded or popup question • Use some of the new tools in analytics to assign pages value for example, or to create goals etc. • Try posting the website to areas where we know the infrequent users visit, based on our AGM survey which were, for example, HAB, HIV Insite, NQCthen analyze site impact
