How to setup google analytics snapshot
-
Hello all!
I get these awesome emails from google about a specific site. But I am not sure how, and why. But I like the data it generates. I am uploading a screen shot. They are called Analytics' Snapshot.
My question is basically: How to setup google analytics snapshot to report on a specific website in my account? Because I have several I track - Over 40 domains, but I am mostly concered with like 4 -5 of them, I would like to report on.
Thanks Mozers!!

I, also, would like these reports for all my clients, however I can't seem to set it up for more than one account, when we have like 30 in our Analytics. I know how to create and schedule custom reports in analytics itself - the OP's Snapshot picture is completely different than that. The Analytics Web Performance Report (formerly Snapshot) seems to be a 'Google thang'.
In Analytics, click the gear icon and go to "user settings". There, you can set your communications settings. To receive this report, tick the radio button to receive "Performance Suggestions and Updates". If you attempt to navigate to any other account within analytics, you can't access "user settings" for that account - only for your parent gmail account.
So far, the only way I see to set this up is to set up each client with their own gmail account, add that to the parent analytics account, and set each client's new analytics communications settings individually within their account using the "user settings' under the gear icon.
Has anyone found a better solution?

I've never seen these and I"m guessing that it's purpose is to try to get people to log back in to GA.
You can set up custom dashboards with these metrics and schedule them to send out automatically on the first of each month to you or the client. You have to restart the emails every 6 or 12 months I think, but otherwise it's pretty hassle free.

Understand, I am not sure if some Excel wizardry would help you but it may. Have a nice day and good luck!

Actually, that's kind of close, but, I m looking for the attached image - Where it shows multiple fields of data. The way your description is only an attachment, of the current screen you are on.
Thank you for trying to help me!!

I am not sure if you have went to a report and clicked the "Email" link you can set it up so you get that snapshot data emailed to you.

Massive unexplained organic traffic drop; disappeared from Google
Hi there,
Search Behavior | Apr 15, 2024, 3:28 PM | katelynroberts
Our site has experienced a huge organic traffic drop, specifically from Google. The drop occurred on Feb 19 and I've got no clue why it happened. We have not made any significant changes to the website and it doesn't look like there was an algorithm update last week. We don't have any Google penalties or indexing issues noted, and the drop isn't specific to any particular segment/region/keyword. What am I missing? Any advice or insight is super duper appreciated. Our site is a Wordpress/WooCommerice e-commerce site with a blog and long-standing #1 ranks for keywords related to our main product offering. Screen Shot 2024-02-26 at 3.12.25 PM.png

HUGE spike in Google Analytics Traffic
Hi there, I am witnessing a giant spike in my Google Analytics data (website: www.exchangecapital.com ) and I am completely stumped. My website usually gains roughly 15-20 visitors a day at most--and as of 11:10 am today my sessions for the day are up to 150. The traffic spike started on Friday at 132 sessions, Saturday at 261, Sunday at 247, etc. It's common that our sessions don't even hit the double digits over the weekends, so you can imagine my confusion. After trying to pin down some irregularities in geography, browser, and behavior, I'm still at a loss. I'm seeing a big spike in organic traffic (all not provided), as well as direct page visits, and I'm gaining traffic from US, Brazil, United Kingdom, Mexico, Spain, Malaysia, etc. etc--so not just one specific area. Is anyone else witnessing this in their data? Does anyone have any insight or ideas as to how I can look further into this? I am at a loss and any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Skewed results in Google
Im just curious.. Im sure a lot of you, like me, Google your own search terms on a fairly frequent basis. Does doing this skew the result you are actually seeing? As in, does Google tailor the results more to my liking, and therefore perhaps show my own site (which I would click through to often enough) higher on the page that it actually is? Sometimes I swear that happens. Steve.

I have around 50k pages indexed on my site but when I do a google site: of my site it shows around 100k pages indexed. Why is it showing so much more?

Let me know if you would like more info, Thanks.

My website disappears off google!
So this might be kinda of a weird question... Every morning and night I check the ranking of a website that I am building.. The ranking has gone up a lot the last two months. It went from the fifth page to now the second page. I have a issue where some days I check Google my website is completely gone! I go through every page for my keyword and it's not there! After a couple of days of frustration I check again and all of a sudden it is there but now at a higher ranking... I went through the code to make sure there's a not a not follow code in the robots.txt page... Btw another weird thing is so then I look up my website on a google out of country like google.sg and I'm ranking first page like number 5 but again disappeared off google usa. Literally driving my crazy.. does anyone know why this could be? Btw the first time it disappeared I went into webmasters and sent a request because I thought I got penalized but they responded they could not find any spam and I was NOT penalized...

Using Google Analytics to See What Time of Day Visitors View My Site
Hi folks, My company has Google Analytics setup for all of our websites, but I am a bit stumped on something. Now, this may not be possible, but am I able to see what time of day visitors most frequently view my blog? I would like to optimize blog post publishing for when I know we have in influx of visitors, yet I cannot find this information on GA. Any input would be much appreciated. Regards,

Safari Has Top Browser in Google Analytics?
I find this hard to believe but it looks to me as though Safari has jumped ahead as our top browser in the month of January. At first glance I would think it was combining mobile safari with desktop safari numbers but then on the 5th spot I see Safari(in-app) which after looking into could be multiple things from safari mobile, bookmarked pages, or Chrome for ios. Just looking for thoughts on this, are others seeing a large uptick in Safari traffic for desktops?
