Understanding Conversion Tracking and Analytics

Conversion tracking is the process of monitoring and measuring specific actions taken by visitors on your website, such as making a purchase, filling out a contact form, phone calls or email clicks. Analytics, on the other hand, involves collecting, analysing, and interpreting data related to website traffic, user behaviour, and marketing performance.

The Importance of Conversion Tracking and Analytics for your Business

Optimising Website Performance

Conversion tracking and analytics provide valuable insights into how users navigate your website.

You can identify areas where users are dropping off, reduce friction for potential customers, and improve navigation and content to streamline the path to conversions. These insights can enhance the overall user experience and drive better results.

In application this may look like the following examples:

• Changing the the headings used on a website
• Rearranging information on the site by putting priority content at the top of the webpage where it will get more eyes on it.
• Changing a call-to-action from a call button, to an email instead.

All of these examples occur on the back of data that has been captured, and analysed.

Identifying High-Performing Marketing Channels and Campaigns

By tracking conversions, you can determine which marketing channels and campaigns are driving the most valuable results. This allows you to allocate your budget more effectively, concentrating on the channels that provide the highest return on investment (ROI) and maximising the impact of your marketing spend.

In application this may look like the following:

An ecommerce store is running a mix of Google and Meta Ads in order to drive awareness, however, they discover they’re driving significant traffic to their website from Google ads, but the traffic is not translating to sales, with only a low conversion rate. Whereas, their Meta ads, particularly remarketing campaigns, result in higher add-to-cart and checkout conversions.

As their main point of conversion, they determine they should adjust their budget, prioritising their Meta Ads over other less-effective channels.

Making Data-Driven Decisions

Conversion tracking and analytics provide the data needed to make informed business decisions.

By analysing trends and patterns, you can identify opportunities for growth, optimise your marketing efforts, and improve overall business performance. This reduces the reliance on guesswork, resulting in more effective strategies for growth.

In application this may look like the following:

A short-stay accommodation business operates multiple Tiny Houses across Australia, promoting the accommodation as an experience rather than just a place to rest your head for the night.

With a relatively large demand for this type of experience, the brand takes a mixed channel approach, investing heavily in organic SEO, predominantly ranking for the phrase “Tiny House Accommodation”. As such their website repeatedly features the phrase.

Upon analysing organic search trends, the business notices a shift in how consumers are now searching the category. The once dominant phrasing of ‘Tiny House’, has now been overtaken by the phrase ‘Tiny Home’. By identifying this shift, the business is able to include this phrasing as a priority within their SEO strategy.
