Marketing Analytics Overview

Introduction

The Marketing Analytics module in Siteimprove.ai provides a high-level snapshot of your website’s performance. From understanding where your visitors come from to tracking real-time activity, the Overview page is your central hub for quick insights and deeper exploration.


TABLE OF CONTENTS


When you first enter the Marketing Analytics module, you’ll land on the Overview page. This page displays your site’s key metrics and offers several drop-down options to help refine your data view.

Site and Group Selection

  • Site Selection: Choose which website you want to analyze using the familiar site selection drop-down.

  • Groups: If you want to analyze a subset of pages (rather than the entire site), use the Groups feature to narrow your view.




Setting Your Data Parameters

Date Selection

The date selector is one of the most critical tools in your analysis. It determines the time range for the data displayed across all widgets.
You can select:

  • A specific day

  • A rolling 7-day period

  • A specific quarter (e.g., Q4 of last year)

  • A custom date range



Tip: Always confirm your date range before interpreting data to ensure accuracy across metrics.


Filters

Filters allow you to refine and customize your analysis. You can:



Key Metrics and Widgets

As you scroll through the Overview page, you’ll find several interactive widgets providing insights into visitor behavior and site performance:

  • Live Activity: Displays visitor activity from the last 30 minutes, including active users, most popular pages, and visitor locations.

  • Historical Overview and Comparison: Compare top-level metrics—such as visits, returning visitors, and bounce rates—across different time periods or against other metrics.

  • Visitor Dimensions: View profiles of your most common visitors, including details like device type, operating system, and geographic location.

  • Traffic Sources: See which channels (organic search, social media, direct, etc.) are driving visitors to your site.

  • Popular Pages: Identify which pages receive the highest number of views.


Exploring Additional Tools

From the Marketing Analytics menu in the top-left corner, you can access additional tools for deeper analysis and insights.


Tip: Keep your date selections and filters consistent as you navigate between sections to ensure you’re viewing accurate, aligned data across all reports.
