Independent Analytics

Find out where your WooCommerce customers come from and which marketing channels drive the most profitable customers to your site. buff.ly/MKDnaOY

Confusing traffic growth with business growth may be the biggest trap for an online biz. Getting more people into the top of your funnel helps, but don't get distracted by pageview counts. Keep your sales funnel in mind, and focus on the tactics that move visitors through it.

Your best traffic sources might not be the ones sending you the most visitors. Compare them by engagement metrics, like average session duration, to see which ones send the most engaged visitors. Even better, compare by leads and sales to find which ones are most profitable.

Wondering which landing pages drive the most revenue for your WooCommerce store? You can find this data in seconds with Independent Analytics Pro. buff.ly/F1dAURG

What's the most popular page on your site? Most people would assume it's their homepage, but that's not always the case. Check your top 10 pages now, and there's bound to be at least one page that surprises you.

Keep track of what people search for on your site. These queries are a goldmine. They'll help you generate new ideas for content, products, features, and UX improvements.

Tracking clicks on your Add to Cart buttons can be done in a matter of seconds using the Click Tracking menu: buff.ly/P7tj79V

You can now find shoppers who abandoned their carts in the User Journeys report! The key is to filter the sessions by those with zero gross sales and a click on an Add to Cart button. This reveals everyone who added an item to their cart but didn't complete a purchase.

Does your site get more traffic from mobile or desktop visitors? The answer might surprise you. Depending on your niche, you could see more desktop visitors, despite how often people browse on their phones these days.

@Hippooapp We would like to include a robust API in the future. For now, we have a couple of very simple PHP functions for getting stats. Your plugin may be able to fetch the stats that way. A new REST API endpoint could be created with a custom callback as well. independentwp.com/knowledgebase/…

@AnalyticsForWP Will you provide any rest-api for your plugin? we would love to add your plugin in our extensions.

Our newest update includes an integration with the Request a Quote for WooCommerce plugin. Your quote requests will be tracked automatically, so you can see the traffic sources and campaigns generating the most leads.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the metrics in your analytics, choose one. Focus on a single metric that matters most to your business. That could be gross sales, lead submissions, or clicks on a certain button. Optimize your site to move that metric.

Thanks to @wpgaura for such an awesome review!

You probably have more 404 errors than you realize. The good news: you can find them in seconds by filtering the Pages report by the 404 page type. Some of these 404 pages can be ignored. Others are due to broken links or deleted pages and can be resolved with a 301 redirect.

Not all traffic is equal. When analyzing your top traffic sources, pay close attention to engagement metrics, like: - Session Duration - Views Per Session - Bounce Rate This can help you separate the low-quality sources from the high-quality ones.

Getting more traffic to your site is awesome, but don't lose sight of your goals. 100 visitors and 1 order beats 10k visitors and 0 orders any day of the week.

"Why does Cloudflare show so many more visitors than my analytics?" Stats from hosts and CDNs are fundamentally different than your website's analytics. The difference is tracking all requests, including bots, versus tracking human visitors only.

@JimConnolly @NetMarketingJam Hey Jim, sorry for the hassle. We just got back to you via email, but it sounds like things are sorted out now. Please let us know if you need anything else.

@NetMarketingJam @AnalyticsForWP Cheers Dan. Someone DM'd me the same solution and it worked perfectly.

@AnalyticsForWP I want to stop my account with you from renewing. I tried your website, but you rejected my password as invalid. It isn't. I tried resetting my password. You didn't send the reset code/link or whatever. I tried your chat, but a chatbot wasn't able to help.
