How to enable Google Analytics Priority data integration
You can now connect Google Analytics data to your Siteimprove platform. This allows you to view analytics data from Google, side-by-side with issues presented in our platform, to help you prioritize your tasks.
Customers can make informed, data-driven decisions on which pages to fix and optimize, based on the page’s popularity.
Priority data shows Page views over the last 30 days throughout the content modules (e.g. SEO, QA, Accessibility) and within the CMS Plugin.
Note: If you currently have Siteimprove Analytics (SA) running on your websites then you can already take advantage of Priority data without the GA integration. This integration mostly benefits customers who do not have the SA script running on their website. Learn more in the Siteimprove Priority FAQ including information features and filtering crawler bot traffic.
You need to be an Account Owner or Account Administrator to enable Priority data integration. If you do not see the 'Priority Data Providers' option please make a request with our technical support team.
