Visitor/Traffic Analysis

Understand who your visitors are and what they are interested in.

What is visitor & traffic analysis?

Website traffic analysis is the process of logging webpage hits, visitor details, time spent on the page and the pages they visit before and after etc then taking that information to build an profile of the overall usage of the website. The analysis can be limited to the website as a whole or split down to focus on individual sections, pages and even calls to action to assess your website's ability to convert its visitors into customers.
 

Why should I analyse my website traffic?

When you are spending money to advertise and drive traffic to your website it is extremely important to understand how your visitors are actually using your site, what content is provoking a response and what is being completely ignored. With tools like Google Analytics it is now very easy to gain quality information on website usage without spending any money, however, it is vital that this information gathered is analysed and acted upon in order to make your website perform better.
 

Improve conversion rates

Serious will help collate and analyse your website and its traffic stream to identify which pages most people enter the site on but more particularly which pages they leave the site on and abandon the conversion process. Obstacles and barriers will be identified and the cause issues addressed. Landing pages can be generated and optimised to boost conversions based on the analytics gathered.
 

Improve Pay Per Click (PPC) quality score and lower bid prices

By analysing website usage and competition PPC adverts can be re-written to be more specific and compelling. This can heighten your advert's quality score and therefore lower your click costs. Quality scores can also be raised by pointing adverts to correctly optimised landing pages which take into account all the analytics gathered from the website's natural traffic sources.
 

Test and benchmark your traffic before launching your new website

It is always a worry with new websites that months of development, time and money will be uploaded onto the internet and immediately fail to engage or convert visitors. Most website design companies will have a fair idea of how to build good websites and even how to drive traffic to a website but it would be impossible for any web design company to know and understand every visitor and target market - even we don't claim to know that! Visitor stats analysis can be used in advance of designing and building a new website in order to guage the actual audience, their preferences and their buying triggers. This data can then be used to help form the basis of the new website strategy and return immediate results on site launch. Serious Digital Ideas use a variety of techniques including current site analytics, microsites, landing pages, testing PPC campaigns etc to gather this data prior to new website strategies.

Top tip

Don't just rely on having a counter or traffic analytics package on your website - make sure you review it weekly, weed out the pages which are underperforming and boost the highest performing pages to maximise their effectiveness.
