Best way to generate analytics reports for listing style website
-
I'm working on a website that includes dedicated pages for ~40 local businesses, and I need to be able to generate and export some basic reports I can send to each business.
The data I need for each report is split between general sitewide data:
- total number of visitors to the site for month.
- number of visitors to each main category page
- what country they are from (main countries) - top 5
- traffic source / keywords
- avg time on site
As well as specific data for each individual page:
- how many people viewed specific total pages
- Time spent on individual page.
Would this be possible with custom reports in analytics? I can see the number of different reports being difficult to maintain, especially as site grows. Anyone had expereince on a similar site of ideas on the best way to do this?
Thanks

I've managed to create a custom dashboard that gives me all the general stats EXCEPT for number of visits to each main page e.g. venues, services, accommodation
I've tried creating a table widget that displays page and pageviews which gives me some of the data I want, but I want to limit this to certain URLs. I can filter it to 1 URL, but when I add more filters for different URLs it doesn't work. I need to do and OR filter, but when I setup 2 pages it just shows no data.
Is there an easier way to get this data? I want to measure visits for ~6 main pages.
Thanks

Stripping referrer on website with a mix of both http and https
I know going from https to http (usually) strips referrers but I was wondering if the referrer is stripped when your website is a mix of both http and https? Say someone browses your site (on http), adds a product and then goes to your cart (https), then decides to go back to another page on your website which is http. Will this strip the referrer? Any help on this would be great, thanks!

Tracking repeat buyers Universal Analytics
Hi there, I want to track the repeat buyers on my ecommerce. In order to do that, I am going to create a custom dimension on Analytics. The custom dimension will be called "repeat_buyers" with scope user because I want to track the user over time. Is my assumption correct? How would you you set it up? When I have this dimension, I would just apply the default metric transaction on my reports. I don't have experiencie on custom dimensions so I might be totally wrong. Can you please help? Thanks and regards
