Marketer's Space - Unlocking Customer Insights: A Deep Dive into the Website Analytics Module – Part

Hello marketers,
Website Analytics is a powerful tool for marketers like you. It enables you to make data-driven decisions so that you can focus on creating marketing plans and optimizing campaigns. You gain a deeper understanding of your customers, their behavior, and how they interact with your webpages.
Zoho Marketing Automation offers a robust Website Analytics feature, which enables you to lead track acquisition and user behavior, as well as to create goals and Smart URLs. In this week's post, we'll explore goals in detail to help you get the most out of the feature.

What are Goals?

Goals are specific actions you want visitors to perform on your website, such as clicking on a button or a link or staying on your page and simply reading through a blog. These actions help further your overall business objectives. Using Zoho Marketing Automation, you can create these goals for your website and configure response actions for when each goal is achieved. You can create a goal for different scenarios, like a user signing up for a newsletter or downloading an eBook. You can set up triggers that automate responses when visitors complete an action. 


These responses might entail updating a field, adding or removing a user from a mailing list, assigning a specific tag for further segmentation, or adding them to a Journey for personalized email follow-ups. You can even modify a lead score when a lead has achieved a goal to qualify them further as a potential customer.

How can you use Goals?

Goals in Zoho Marketing Automation enable you to understand and react to user behavior on your website. There are four main goal types:
  • Element Clicks: Track clicks on specific buttons, icons, or other website elements. Imagine you run an ecommercestore and want to see how many visitors click the "Buy Now" button on your products page. This goal gauges user interest and helps tailor future campaigns.
  • Links to track: Monitor clicks on designated website links. For example, an ecommerce store might track clicks onspecific brand logos in their product listings to identify brand preferences and indicate which collaborations might be beneficial in the future.
  • Time Spent on Page: Measure visitor engagement by tracking the amount of time users spend on specific webpages. For a travel agency, understanding how long users stay on destination pages can highlight which places customers are most interested in, or areas that need improvement.
  • Custom Events: Unlike Element Clicks, Link Clicks, and Time Spent on Page, which focus on pre-defined behaviors, Custom Events enable you to capture unique actions on your website. Form submissions are a good example. Imagine you're a non-profit organization and want to know how many users complete a donation form. A custom event goal captures this specific action and enables you to personalize post-donation thank you emails. Implementing a custom event requires adding a code snippet to your site (with developer help) to track these conversions within your reports. These conversion metrics are often the key goal of email, social media, and other digital marketing campaigns.

By leveraging these goal types, marketers can gain valuable insights into user behavior and automate targeted responses, ultimately optimizing website conversions and nurturing qualified leads. Keep an eye out for Part 2 of this post, as we'll be exploring the Website Analytics feature in more detail. Until then, happy marketing!

Regards,
