Current state of play for Digital Analytics I believe we are failing the users of analytics data There are impressive exceptions but in the minority Page 321 st Jan 2014@peter_oneill

An example of success with analytics Identify a problem area Collect the necessary data for insights Use that data to resolve the problem (one off or ongoing) Page 4 My favourite talk from eMetrics London 2013 21 st Jan 2014@peter_oneill

A bit of a light bulb moment This helped solidify my thinking I believe we need to change our focus Originally we asked – what data do you need? We evolve – What are your business questions? Now I think the question should be: What actions can you take? What insights do you need to inform those actions? What data do we need to provide those insights? How can we give you the insights you need in a way that you can act upon them? Page 521 st Jan 2014@peter_oneill

See This, Do That Analytics Providing people with the insights they need to help them in tasks they are performing Answers for the real world Page 6 My vision with this We need to go back to basics We need to make analytics useful to everyone We need people to believe in analytics 21 st Jan 2014@peter_oneill

See This, Do That Analytics – a Definition It is for users of analytics data, not analysts It is not another way of saying real time data It is tool agnostic and it is data source agnostic Users request the report Whatever format Automated, not via an analyst ideally They have necessary training to interpret the report Although reports are designed to require as little interpretation as possible They are able to act immediately upon insights Hence “see this, do that…” 10 th Dec, 2012Page 7

Examples of actions people take 1. Fix broken links 2. Promote product/content on social media 3. Feature product/content on homepage 4. Feature product/content on navigation pages 5. Adjust a product’s description, price, image 6. Adjust a content piece’s heading, image This will vary by sector, by company, by role Page 821 st Jan 2014@peter_oneill

Example 1 – Fixing 404 Error Pages Set up required tracking URLs & referrers for 404 error pages Any tool, any method Create custom reports List all URLs resulting in 404 error pages List all referrers leading to 404 error pages Cross reference the URLs and referrers Sort in priority order, hunt down & fix problems Otherwise known as See This, Do That 10 th Dec, 2012Page 9

Example 2 – Merchandise Report A. Most popular product B. The money maker C. Something is wrong D. Another issue here E. Opportunity product, make more visible Page 1021 st Jan 2014@peter_oneill

Example 3 – Top Content Report Imagine if you could filter on business action!! Page 1121 st Jan 2014@peter_oneill

Can we do this now with our Analytics tools The Web Analytics tools we use don’t seem to handle real world problems very well Chartbeat has made steps in the right direction but is limited Google/Adobe Analytics have custom reports but I am unconvinced for use by non analysts Visual Revenue was built around this idea Short/medium term solution Do anything you can to provide the end users with the data they need to take actions Page 1221 st Jan 2014@peter_oneill

What I will be doing this year I want my clients to be excited about analytics I want them open to the possibilities I want them using analytics themselves My starting point No longer aiming for the perfect implementation It will not be all about the big list of recommendations Instead – must add immediate value They must be able to take actions based on the data I can do all of the other fun stuff second… But a “See This Do That” approach for an immediate impact must be the first step Page 1321 st Jan 2014@peter_oneill
