Setting up goals in Google Analytics

[SmileMoreSEO]

Hello!

This question is seems so obvious that I'm also ashamed to ask... almost.

If the goal of a website is to have a visitor complete a contact form, when setting up the Goal in Google Analytics (as a "URL destination") the URL of choice would be the form's thank you page, correct? Because that's the page that proves the visitor completed the task we want them the achieve. Right?

Thanks!

Thanks again, David.

You leave out the destination URL from the funnel.

Cheers.

Thanks, David!

And if I want to use the Goal Funnel feature, do I need to enter the Contact Us page as step 1 and the thank you page as Step 2? (Or is entering the thank you page as step two unnecessary because it's the overall goal in the first place?)

Hope that makes sense!

Thanks again,
Erik

Correct! That way you are recording successful form submissions.
