Google Analytics Automated Reporting
-
HI all,
I tend to do a big reporting powerpoint deck using screenshots from google analytics and tables I create year end and mid year. It's like an 80 page report for the 10 webisite swe have and then I go ahead and make annotations as I see from the data.
That being said this can take a lot of time, up to a 40 hours of time to pull it all together or more which is challenging when you have daily meetings.
Anyhow, I've looked into automating and tried a couple things:
1. Tableau- but it keeps crashing and seems tedious
2. Dashlane and supergrabber- seem a bit tedious to set up too.
Anyone have ideas on how to better shar ereporting in the organization in this type of format for a website (websites)? Organic, paid, traffic, etc.

Consider connecting analytics to google spreadsheets. This way you can create your own dashboards and still pull in the annotations you want for your websites.

Hi Laura
You may want to check out http://www.analyticsseo.com/ - I have worked with this previously and it can produce the sort of reports you are talking about - kicking them out to powerpoint etc - http://www.analyticsseo.com/seo-reports/
You can create custom reports, connected to analytics and choose the format and then schedule the system to automatically run the report at a scheduled interval and email it to you.
Hope this helps

Hello, my friend.
I can't recommend you a solution on a market, since I haven't used any, but what you can use is a automated reporting, built-in in GA.
Or, and this is what I use, Google Analytics API. Gives you all data you want, you can style it however you want and customize it whichever way you want. Takes initial effort, but pays off later. Especially, since you said you gotta do it every year.

Google Analytics not Working on all pages despite many attempts
Hey gang, So this problem has been going on for months. None of our landing pages track, but all of our blog pages do. I've tried GA plugins, (we are on wordpress) and just now even put the code in the theme header script. Still to no avail. I just checked right now, and the blog pages have the global GA code, but now I noticed not even the home page has the code! Could it be something to do with my theme? I tried to pay a guy on upwork to fix but he couldn't fix it either. Thank you for you help!

Splitting Google analytics data
Hi Everyone I'm not sure if this can be done but thought i would ask anyway. One of our clients has a website which is a 3 tiered website, basically this means different access levels for different users depending on their ip address.

Blog Analytics broke for two weeks. How do I account for these hits in my monthly report?
The Analytics on my blog broke for about two weeks before I realized it. I need to come up with some estimated numbers for total pageviews, referrals, direct hits, etc to add to my monthly SEM report. I took the average of the past four 2 week periods to come up with the number of hits. Should I just add this number to the total hits on my site? Or are these hits being counted twice if they went on to the main site? http://www.howlatthemoon.com

Transfer Google Analytics data from one user to another?
Long story short, two weeks of analytics data are stored on a different profile from the rest of the year's data. Is there a way to export all data from a date range, and then import it to another account? Thanks for your help.

Why is Webmaster Tools not Linking Correctly Google Analytics?
I have a global site with .com as the US site and then /country for all other markets i.e. .com/uk .com/de etc. Each site has it's own WMT profile. Each site has it's own GA profile. Since Google added Search Engine Optimization to the GA interface, I can't track these sites separately under this new feature. It seems to me that it can only be associated with a single WMT profile at a time or rather that WMT can only be associated with a single GA profile at a time. The numbers for the UK and US site are identical, but when I try and link the UK WMT account with GA it removes it from the US profile and vice versa.
