ADOBE® TRAINING SERVICES
Exercise 4.6

Run a Conversion Metrics Report


1. For the last full calendar month, how many Units did you sell?
2. Acquiring First Time Visitors can be expensive and although we continually want to drive
new traffic to the site, we’d like to make sure that past visitors are still converting on the
site. For the last full calendar month, did we sell more Units to “First Time Visits” or “Visits
of 5+ Previous Visits”?

Estimated Time: 5 minutes

 Commonly used for Page Effectiveness (determine which pages lead to
conversion)
 Enabled in Admin Tools
 For example, 25.8% of Total Revenue came from visits that viewed the “Women”
page (line item 8)

© 2015 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. Adobe Confidential.


ADOBE® TRAINING SERVICES
How Participation Metric Allocation Works (Example 1)

 A $100 purchase occurs on the fourth page


 Revenue Participation allocates full credit to current and previous pages of the
visit for the conversion
 Significance: “The ‘Women’ page was part of a path that resulted in $100 of
revenue” (the same can be said for the other pages when analyzing Page
Effectiveness)

Spring Fashion
Women Handbags Purchase Page
Microsite
$100

$100 $100 $100 $100

© 2015 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. Adobe Confidential.


ADOBE® TRAINING SERVICES
How Participation Metric Allocation Works (Example 2)

 One Lead Submitted is recorded on the fourth page


 Lead Participation allocates full credit to current and previous pages of the visit
for the conversion
 Significance: “The ‘Campaign Landing’ page was part of a path that resulted in 1
Lead Submission” (the same can be said for the other pages when analyzing Page
Effectiveness)

Visitor Retention

Return Frequency shows the number of days between repeat


visits from your visitors.

The Return Frequency report shows the number of days


between repeat visits from your visitors. For example, if a
visitor was to visit today and your previous visit was six weeks
ago, the number of days between repeat visits for your visit
would be “longer than 1 month.”

Visitor Retention

 This report shows the overall number of times a visitor went to your site. When someone comes to your site
this month, the report will tell you if this was their first or 300th time visiting your site.

 If you are viewing this report for the month of January, and you see some visitors are on their 300th visit on
your site, this does not mean they visited your site 300 times in January. It just means their 300th visit
happened to have occurred in January (the other 299 could have happened in previous months).

 The Visit Number report also shows which visits made by customers impacted your site’s success metrics.

Segment Containers

The segment containers you select will directly impact the amount of data returned.

Matches across sessions within the selected time


Visitor period and returns all data associated with matched
visitors. It is the broadest container.

Matches within a session in the selected


Visit time period.

Matches at the hit (server call)


level. It is the most specific
container.

115
© 2018 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. Adobe Confidential. ADOBE DIGITAL LEARNING SERVICES
Custom Segments

The Segment Builder lets you build simple or


complex segments that identify visitor attributes
and actions across visits and hits.

It provides a canvas to drag and drop metric


dimensions, events, or other segments in order to
segment visitors based on hierarchy logic, rules, and
operators.

116

Use Segments with Multiple Containers

Containers in Both the Include and Exclude Canvas


 When using both the Include and Exclude canvas, you can obtain a much more detailed set of data to report
against.

Define multiple containers within a single canvas


 When dragging multiple segments adjacent to each other, they are considered an OR statement. All
containers in the canvas are reviewed against all data, and any data that matches any of the containers are
included in reporting.

Nest containers within each other


 When creating segment containers within other containers, you are (in essence) creating a segment within a
segment.

Building Time-Within and Time-After Segments

 Identify visitor page view hits by matching limited by a specific duration of time, granularity, and counts
between checkpoints. Use the Within and After operators built in to the header of each container to define
the time, events, and count.

 You can limit matching to a specified duration of time by using the Within and After containers and
specifying a granularity and count. The Within operator is used to specify a max limit on the amount of time
between two checkpoints. The After operator is used to specify a minimum limit on the amount of time
between two checkpoints.

Choosing the right container

The container you choose will depend on the behavior you are trying to isolate.

 Primarily useful for multi-session analysis as it includes every session once the criteria is met.
 Most susceptible to change based on date range.

 Captures the behaviors for the entire session once the rule is met.
 Good for understanding what is happening in relation to something during a visit.

 Isolate behavior within a particular site section or for a variable that changes values during visit.
 Pinpoint a specific value when an action occurs (marketing channel when order placed).
 Capture the values of different variables at a specific point in time (debugging).

1. Establish a consistent naming


convention and ensure all
segments adhere to it. Adobe
recommends leading with “source”
across all products (see next slide
for examples).
2. Include definitions in the segment
builder.
3. Apply Tags to all the segments for
better organization.

4. Approve segments to
standardize definitions across
report suites & the organization.
Do not create the same segment
in multiple suites.
5. Share approved segments with
all users, and more specific
segments with only those that
need them.
6. Unshare & Delete duplicate
segments to prevent confusion.
Take a phased approach to
segment deletion to prevent
disruption in existing processes.

Segment validation

As a best practice, always confirm your segment was 1

built as expected using a two-pronged approach.

1. Leverage the 90-day preview in the segment


builder to make sure the volume of the data is
expected. Also confirm the segment is
2
compatible with the Adobe products you need
to use it with.
2. Go to the report that most closely aligns to the
segment criteria and make sure the expected
data is returned.

Segmentation Best Practices

While creating a segment:


 Consider the audience
 Determine the segment Scope
 Describe the importance of segments
 Define the time
 Decide the elements of the segment
 Define the approval process
 Use segment Library for reuse

© 2018 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. Adobe Confidential. ADOBE DIGITAL LEARNING SERVICES
Segmentation Best Practices (cont.)

 Identify the business question for analysis


 Decide the dimensions
 Identify the relevant metrics
 Test and preview the segment
 Optimize the processing by using Hit or Visit
containers

© 2018 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. Adobe Confidential. ADOBE DIGITAL LEARNING SERVICES
Segmentation Best Practices (d)

 Verify that the segment is acting as expected. When a filter is


applied, check a report that pertains to the filter.
 Example: If a Hit container is used and the filter is based on
“page contains,” check the Pages report to make sure only
pages with your criteria are included in the report.

 When building a segment, be sure to test first. Run data for a


small period of time, verify that the data appears the way it is
expected, and then run the query for the time frame needed.
 If a filter is applied, look at the report that pertains to the
filter.

Calculated Metrics in Analysis Workspace

Objectives:
 Create and customize Calculated Metrics
 Describe Metric operations and Formats
 Create Calculated Metrics using basic and advanced functions

© 2018 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. Adobe Confidential. ADOBE DIGITAL LEARNING SERVICES
Calculated Metrics

 Calculated Metrics are metrics you can create using


operations such as +,-,x and /. Through these useful
metrics, you can create Conversion Ratios that are the
most important metrics you will apply to your reports.

Advantages of Calculated Metrics


 Create unified metrics across Reports & Analytics, Ad
Hoc Analysis, Report Builder, Anomaly Detection,
Freeform Analysis, and Contribution Analysis.
 Create metrics derived at report run time, without
implementation changes. You can view these
historically because they are based on segments.
 Share metrics across report suites.

 Incorporate statistical functions to help you better


describe your data.

174
© 2018 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. Adobe Confidential. ADOBE DIGITAL LEARNING SERVICES
Metric Operations and Formats

You can create calculated metrics from a combination of:


 Analytics metrics
 Analytics segments
 Operations such as +, −, ×, and ÷
 Statistical functions

You can use these available formats:


 Decimal (#)
 Percent (%)
 Currency ($)
 Time (HH:MM:SS)

178
© 2018 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. Adobe Confidential. ADOBE DIGITAL LEARNING SERVICES
Metric Type

There are two main metric types: Standard and Total.


 Standard: Number of instances for a line item (for example, 500 Page Views for the Home Page).
 Total: Total number of instances for the site regardless of the report line item (for example, 10,000 Page
Views for the site, displayed on every line item).

179
© 2018 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. Adobe Confidential. ADOBE DIGITAL LEARNING SERVICES
Allocation

Default allocation will allocate Conversion metric credit as originally intended by your implementation. You
may, however, change the allocation model to any of the following:

 Linear: The metric credit split between conversion variables passed in on the visit with this Conversion
Metric.
 Visit Participation: The full metric credit given to every conversion variable passed in on the visit with the
Conversion Metric.
 Last Touch: The metric credit for the Conversion Metric is given to the last associated variable value.
 Reporting Window Participation: Like Visit Participation, except this metric credit is awarded to variables
during the period analyzed in your reports (beyond visit).
 Marketing Channel Allocation: First and last touch allocation can be applied to metrics used in the
Marketing Channel reports.
