Google Analytics Upgrade : Multi-Channel Funnel Tool | Google News

google-analytics-logo

Advanced marketing plans encompass many facets including display banner /remarketing /  content article marketing / social media /organic / pay per click. Google Analytics can now measure some of these efforts.

As the video analogy explains, measuring results of a marketing campaign is not just who made the score, but what players on the team contributed and assisted.

Introducing Multi-Channel Funnels: discover untapped opportunities in your conversion path

“When a customer buys or converts on your site, most conversion tracking tools credit the most recent link or ad clicked. In reality though, customers research, compare and make purchase decisions via multiple touch points across multiple channels. So marketers that measure return solely on the last channel that a customer touches before conversion are getting an incomplete picture, and potentially missing out on important opportunities to reach their customers.”
