Your company has a website and a mobile app, and you want to track each separately in Google Analytics. How should you structure your account(s)?

Correct! Wrong!

A property is a website, mobile application, or device (e.g. a kiosk or point-of-sale device.) An account can contain one or more properties. Within an Analytics account, you add the properties from which you want to collect data. When you add a property to an account, Analytics generates the tracking code that you use to collect data from that property. The tracking code contains a unique ID that identifies the data from that property, and makes it easily identifiable in your reports. Analytics also creates one unfiltered view for each property you add.

An Event hit includes a value for each component, and these values are displayed in your reports.

  • Category
  • Action
  • Label (optional, but recommended)
  • Value (optional)
  • For example, you might set up a video “play” button on your site so that it sends an Event hit with the following values:
  • Category: “Videos”
  • Action: “Play”
  • Label: “Baby’s First Birthday”
  • Which of the following attribution models would be useful for evaluating ads and campaigns that are designed to create initial awareness about a brand?

    Which of the following would be most useful in measuring how many days passed between the first visit to a site and the eventual conversion?

    Correct! Wrong!

    The Time Lag report counts the number of days from the first user interaction (e.g., impression, click, direct session) to conversion. Some Analytics users like to compare this report with the Ecommerce > Time to Purchase report, which counts the number of days from the first campaign referral to conversion.

    Which of the following are tracked by Site Speed reports?

    Correct! Wrong!

    The Site Speed reports measure three aspects of latency:

  • Page-load time for a sample of pageviews on your site. You can view the data across different dimensions to see how quickly your pages loaded from a variety of perspectives (e.g., in different browsers, in different countries). Data is available in the Page Timings report.
  • Execution speed or load time of any discrete hit, event, or user interaction that you want to track (e.g., how quickly images load, response time to button clicks). Data is available in the User Timings report.
  • How quickly the browser parses the document and makes it available for user interaction. No additional configuration is required to see this data. Data is available in the Page Timings report, on the DOM Timings subtabs.

    Google Analytics uses which model by default when attributing conversion values in non-Multi-Channel Funnel reports?

    Correct! Wrong!

    The Last Non-Direct Click model ignores direct traffic and attributes 100% of the conversion value to the last channel that the customer clicked through from before buying or converting. Analytics uses this model by default when attributing conversion value in non-Multi-Channel Funnels reports. When it’s useful: Because the Last Non-Direct Click model is the default model used for non-Multi-Channel Funnels reports, it provides a useful benchmark to compare with results from other models. In addition, if you consider direct traffic to be from customers who have already been won through a different channel, then you may wish to filter out direct traffic and focus on the last marketing activity before conversion.

    Which of the following statements is true about Multi-Channel Funnel (MCF) reports?

    Correct! Wrong!

    By default, the channel labels that you see in Multi-Channel Funnels reports (Paid Search, Organic Search, Social Network, etc.) are defined as part of the MCF Channel Grouping. If you have specific analysis requirements, you may wish to create your own Custom Channel Grouping(s), each with its own set of labels. When you share a Custom Channel Grouping, only the configuration information is shared. Your data remains private. The following channel labels are defined as part of the MCF Channel Grouping and are the labels used by default in your reports. The channel definitions are not case sensitive.

    Which reporting dimension would be useful to reference if you were looking to improve the user experience on your landing pages?
