This can include the submission of a feedback form, completion of a purchase, a subscription request, leaving a comment on a blog post, downloading a PDF white paper, viewing a special offers page, or clicking a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanctuarymg.com\/digital-marketing\/social-media\/\">social media<\/a> button, such as a Facebook Like button, Google + 1 button, or Follow Us on Twitter icon.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, it&#8217;s best to identify those goals which will have a real (and positive) impact on your business. Ideally, the best goals are those which will eventually lead to a sale. In this post, we&#8217;ll review how you can set up Goal tracking in your Google Analytics accounts.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also created this companion video to walk you through the steps outlined below.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"640\" height=\"360\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/4fzosezSR_M?version=3&amp;hl=en_US\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed width=\"640\" height=\"360\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/4fzosezSR_M?version=3&amp;hl=en_US\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Configure Goals in Your Google Analytics Account<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Goals are configured under the <em>Profile<\/em> Section of your Google Analytics account:<\/p>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4191\" title=\"Google Analytics Goal Set Up\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sanctuarymg.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Google-Analytics1.jpg\" alt=\"Google Analytics Goal Set Up\" width=\"550\" height=\"142\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><!--more--><\/div>\n<p>Google Analytics allows you to configure up to twenty goals for your website (four <em>Goal Sets<\/em> each with five configurable Goals). There is no real difference in these Sets. However, grouping similar goals together in the same Set allows for easier reporting segmentation later.<\/p>\n<p>To set up a goal the steps are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Name Goal<\/li>\n<li>Set As &#8216;Active&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Select &#8216;Goal Type&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Fill out &#8216;Goal Details&#8217;.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The first two steps are pretty self-explanatory. <strong>The meat of the work comes in selecting a Goal Type and configuring the Goal\u00a0Details for that type.\u00a0<\/strong>Google Analytics has the following four types of goals: \u00a0URL Destination,Visit Duration, Page\/Visit, &amp; Event.<\/p>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4180 alignnone\" title=\"Goal Types in Google Analytics\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sanctuarymg.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/47541ac99d72d2d49aae787f4d259c7a.jpeg\" alt=\"Goal Types in Google Analytics\" width=\"199\" height=\"93\" \/><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>URL Destination<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4181\" title=\"Goal URL in Google Analytics\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sanctuarymg.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/3be5257ffdb5167fe2e961db7f8c2bf1.jpeg\" alt=\"Goal URL in Google Analytics\" width=\"212\" height=\"29\" \/><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>URL Destination is the most commonly used Goal Type.\u00a0Ideally your goal URL can only be reached by those who have actually completed a conversion. As an example, this might be &#8216;confirmation&#8217; page that is only returned to a user once they&#8217;ve completed an order or actually submitted a request for contact.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4183\" title=\"URL Destination Goal Type Flow Chart\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sanctuarymg.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/7189a6211180151c4013280052db02c51.jpeg\" alt=\"URL Destination Goal Type Flow Chart\" width=\"600\" height=\"407\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Google Analytics is highly configurable and there are ways to accommodate just about any scenario. We&#8217;ll address some of the more complex options in later posts. But suffice it to say, most of these matches can be handled by using one of of the three Match Types.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><strong>1.)\u00a0 Exact Match<\/strong> &#8211; The most common and simple of the match types. This goal type is used when your goal page has a consistent and predictable URL. (Example: www.mysite.com\/thank-you.html).<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.)\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>Header Match<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0If your website has dynamically generated content, then both Header Match &amp; Regular Expression Match types may work best for you. The Header Match is used to eliminate &#8216;trailing URL parameters&#8217;. \u00a0These are the little variables\u00a0included\u00a0at the end of your URL which may be used by your content\u00a0management\u00a0system. \u00a0As an example include: http:\/\/www.mysite.com\/PlaceOrder\/CheckOut.asp?submit=&amp;item_id=12345&amp;category_page=300 (or some such nonsense). \u00a0In this example, you may only wish to track those people reaching the &#8216;checkout&#8217; page and you can confirm that the URL consistently starts with &#8216;http:\/\/www.mysite.com\/PlaceOrder\/CheckOut.asp?submit=&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.)\u00a0 Regular Expression Match<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0A regular expression uses special syntax and characters to enable pattern and flexible matching for your Goal URLs. For this you may want to employ a professional as this can be tricky. But this is useful when your URL or query may change between different users. As an example, you may have the following &#8211; http:\/\/store.mysite.com\/check_out.cgi?page=2&amp;item_id=2424 vs. http:\/\/www.mysite.com\/store\/check_out.cgi?page=1&amp;item_id=1413. \u00a0In order to match a single goal for each of these examples you might focus on the variable &#8216;checkout.cgi?page=1&#8217; on which to create your Regular Expression Match.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Match Types, you can reference <a href=\"http:\/\/support.google.com\/analytics\/bin\/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=1116091#matchType\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google&#8217;s Analytics Support Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The URL Destination Goal Type also give you the option to configure a <strong><em>Goal Funnel<\/em>.<\/strong> Using the funnel you can specify what pages lead up to the completion of a Goal. This is helpful if your conversion process involves taking the visitor through multiple steps.<\/p>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4210\" title=\"Goal Funnel Google Analytics\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sanctuarymg.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Google-Analytics-1.jpg\" alt=\"Goal Funnel Google Analytics\" width=\"764\" height=\"233\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Once enabled, Goal Funnels let you visualize to understand where visitors are dropping out our your sales process.

This may include the user clicking a link to an offsite location (e.g. Google+, Facebook, clicking off site links, etc.) or even viewing a video presentation to completion. \u00a0Using a special syntax you can create an link that, when activated, sends a signal to Google Analytics that the event has occurred. There are five event values you can embed within the link triggering this goal. Then, while setting up the Goal within the Google Analytics you can differentiate these goals based on the values submitted by the event link:<\/p>\n<div>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4196\" title=\"Event Based Goals in Google Analytics\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sanctuarymg.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/bf6246fdaa05df6fa8ecbc60fc31b53e.jpeg\" alt=\"Event Based Goals in Google Analytics\" width=\"453\" height=\"222\" \/><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve completed configuring the Goal Details for your selected Goal Type, you&#8217;re done! Its just a matter of saving the changes and waiting for the data to populate in the coming days and weeks. \u00a0Unfortunately, goal tracking is not retroactive so you won&#8217;t see results for any period prior to having set up your goals. However, time does fly and you&#8217;ll start to seeing the value of having this data soon enough.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>There are many many more details and configuration options for Google Analytics and using it to measure conversion.
