Google Analytics They use innovative approaches combined with analytics and research to help clients reach the city-minded millennial demographic in their efforts to “sway” consumers to the brands they represent. Hit With Google Analytics, a hit is ANY request sent to the GA data collection system. This includes page views, events, custom variables, measurement protocol uploads, etc. You can backup your Google Analytics data by keeping a copy of the hits sent to Google. There are many good reasons to do this, as explained here: backup your Google Analytics data Page view A page view is recorded every time a page is viewed. Or, more technically, a page-view is recorded every time the Google Analytics page view tracking method is executed. When a user hits the back button, a page view is recorded. When a visitor hits refresh, a page view is recorded. Every time a page is opened in the browser, regardless of whether it has been cached, a page view is recorded. (Of course, this assumes the tracking code is on the page in question.) Session A session consists of a series of page views that a single user makes during a period of activity. The session ends after the user either closes the browser, clears cookies, or is inactive for 30 minutes. (The timeout length is customization in the tracking code settings) Users Users are defined by a unique ID – this ID is usually stored in a cookie. Whenever the tracking code is executed, it looks for cookies on the browser set by the current domain. If they can’t be found, new cookies with a new ID are set. Google Analytics emphasizes sessions over users because of the inherent inaccuracies of trying to track individual users. For example, a user who deletes their cookies uses multiple browsers, or shares their computer will be inaccurately represented in the reports. Bounce A visit with one page view. It doesn’t matter how long the visitor was on the page or how they left. Technically, it’s a visit with only one interaction. Time on Page Time on page is measured by subtracting the time a visitor hits a page from the time they hit the next page. (e.g. If they hit Page 1 at 12:00 and hit Page 2 at 12:03, time on Page 1 is three minutes.) This means that the time on page for the last page in a visit is always zero because Google Analytics doesn’t track pages being closed. Time on Site This is the sum of the time on page for all page views on a visit. Or, more accurately, it is the difference between the time they viewed the first page and the last page in a visit. Note that viewing pages in different tabs doesn’t affect this. Google Analytics simply sees a string of pages being viewed in chronological order, without any reference to multiple tabs or windows. New Visitor A visitor who did not have Google Analytics cookies when they hit the first page in this visit. If a visitor deletes their cookies and comes back to the site, the visitor will be counted as a new visitor. Returning Visitor A visitor with existing Google Analytics cookies from a previous visit. Dollar Index A measurement of how influential a page is to conversion. The higher the number, the more frequently it was viewed prior to a purchase or conversion. It’s calculated by taking the goal conversion value or transaction value of a visit and applying it evenly to all the pages prior to that conversion. Seen in aggregate, it just attempts to correlate pages to conversions. ​ Pages/Visit Page views divided by visits. This metric shows the average number of pages viewed per visit. ​ Direct Traffic Ideally, this is the traffic that came to a site via bookmarks or by directly typing in the URL. In reality, it is the traffic for which the code couldn’t determine a source. Depending on the site and the browser, some links may not show a referrer and instead would be categorized as direct. Using campaign variables will get around this misrepresentation every time. Referring Sites This is traffic for which (1) a referrer was identified, (2) the referrer is not a search engine and (3) there are no campaign variables. The referring URL (a.k.a. the page that contains the link to your website) is also stored for referrals. Search Engine Traffic Google Analytics automatically categorizes traffic as coming from a search engine if the referring URL is from its list of known search engines and there is a search term identified in that URL. Both organic and paid search engine traffic is put into this group. Event Tracking A feature that allows you to track visitor activities separately from page views. This is commonly used to track interaction with AJAX or Flash content. Google Analytics API ​ The API extracts data from Google Analytics accounts. It allows customers to pro grammatically extract Google Analytics data and incorporate it with 3rd party applications and/or databases. (Source Google analytics and Ad word.)

It’s nearly impossible to separate social media strategy from Public Relations, given the ubiquity of digital and social media, as both a s, a news source and a driver of brand reputation. At Starbound PR Firm we understand how to develop a marketing campaign—to use social media to amplify earned media coverage and build a relationship with the company’s most important audience and stakeholders. Here are some guidelines for the development of an effective social media strategy and public relations initiatives. Set Goals Social media strategy is not an end in itself, but part of an overall communications plan. Listen A good social media strategy and plan should start with a social audit of your category and an analysis of competitors and partners. Know your Audience The next step is to take a deep dive into the persona of your audience – their needs, problems, and passions – to achieve maximum exposure.
What is a marketing persona ? Hubspot says that a buyer persona is “a semi-fictional representation of your ideal customer based on market research and real data about your existing customers”. Digital Marketing Institute defines it as “a personality that embodies a key segment of your audience”. Identify KOL’s . Social media is based on relationships, including those with influencers or “key opinion leaders”. Develop a Brand Voice It’s critical that your social media voice be true to the brand character and business’ values. Be Conversational Businesses should adopt a voice, tone, and persona that’s specific to their brand, but social media is a two-way street, and it’s always more effective to engage in conversation than to merely broadcast content. Social Media Engagement Public relations officers are natural storytellers who know how to craft a narrative or foster a conversation that’s a real dialogue, not a one-way commercial pitch. Social media engagement and activity doesn’t exist in a vacuum, so it should be informed by the company’s overall communications strategy. The public relations and social functions should be aligned within the business or company. The business’ professional communicators ideally should be involved in the social media strategy initiatives and content creation. The Critical Difference: Customer Network Behavior Due to emerging technologies and platforms, marketing has shifted from a single business marketing initiative to a new paradigm defined by Professor David L. Rogers in The Network is Your Customer, called customer network behavior , wherein there are five cores behaviors that customers are seeking to fulfill: Access – Seeking immediate, simple, and fast access to data. Engage – Seeking engaging content that is relevant. Customize – Seeking varied customized experiences that are relevant. Connect - Seeking digital experiences that allow communication and expression. Collaborate – Seeking to work together towards a shared goal. A good marketing plan includes objectives, timetables, advertising campaign plans, media buys, budgets, customer surveys, market research, KPI’s (Key performance Indicator), competitor research, and a great ROI (Return on Investment). Marketing advertising evaluates customer reviews, pay per click, bounce rate, and website visits. Digital marketing measures, social media insights, visits, likes, shares, and conversions into sales.
