Google Analytics Customizations - Yet Tried

In analytics, Segmentation = Success.

Get started with this set of 19 remarketing lists broken down by Age, Gender, Operating System, and Browser to help you segment and re-engage with your audience based on who they are.

All lists are 30 day membership duration. Combine these with other analytics dimensions to create even more precisely tailored lists. For example:

- Add a sequence of Step 1: Region = Europe, Step 2: Region = Asia to find users on iOS who've traveled from Europe to Asia in the last 30 days
- Add a condition of source = facebook.com to find women, 35-44 who've visited from facebook
- Add a condition of custom event action = "WatchedVideo" to find Chrome users who watched your intro video

Visitors may be researching your products and services during working hours, but then converting during non-working hours. What can we glean from their behaviour to improve conversion rates?

• Is there a correlation between products researched during working hours and products bought during non-work hours? If yes, consider increasing your advertising investment for those products during non-work hours.
• How do work hour visitors return to your site during non-work hours? For example, do they predominantly return through search engines? If so, ensure your SEO is in order and that you are also investing in paid search results.
• Do non-work hours visitors tend to convert at a better rate, even if traffic is lower? If yes, consider options such as remarketing and email reminders to get work-hour visitors to return to the site during non-work hours.

This dashboard allows you to see which domains and which pages in these domains are referring traffic to your site, how much traffic they're referring, which landing pages are the most popular referral destinations and the extent to which those referred visitors interact with your site.

Rather than just a simple data dump, I want to explore this segment of people: the people who take the time to share my content.

I want to understand:

1. Have these people been to the site before?
2. Where do they come from?
3. What do they share?
4. How do they share it?
5. What impact does it have on my business?

I added all of this information to the custom report.

Start supercharging your remarketing with the power and precision of Remarketing with Google Analytics.

This core set of 20 lists is based around user engagement and allows you to re-engage differently with your users based on important behaviors like recency, frequency, visit duration, and page depth.

Create custom combinations with these lists to create even more powerful targets, e.g., (540 day visitors) - (360 day visitors) produces "Not seen in 360 days", (All visitors) - (Page depth > 1) = "Bouncers", or combine them with other packs, e.g., "Spent $1000 and not seen in 180 days", "Bounced Referrals", and much more.

Keep in mind: RLSA will automatically adjust membership duration to be a maximum of 180 days (vs. 540 days available on Display), so if you are using these lists for RLSA, the 360 and 540 day lists will be identical to the 180 day list when used in Search.
