Top 5 eCommerce Metrics in
Google Analytics

One : Percentage of New Visits
Total traffic can be good, but really with any new e-commerce site
you want to continuously attract new visitors to the site and have it
seen by a wide audience. Whether this is organic driven, campaign
driven or other this is your best bet for getting the site off the
ground and to begin gaining traction in the market. With new e-
commerce sites I shoot for new visits to make up 75% or more for
the first few months.
Two: Pages Per Visit | Visit Duration | Bounce Rate
All of these metrics track the same thing: Site Engagement. Users are
visiting your site should be exploring it and they are probably there for
the first or second time and are not yet familiar with what it holds. These
Metrics can tell you whether or not this is occurring.
Low pages per visit, low average visit duration or high bounce rate are
all signals that something is wrong and that a glitch exists in the user
flow. This glitch can be remedied by viewing exit pages, UI, heat maps
to help target the reason for the low user engagement.
Three: Exit & Landing Pages
Visitors are entering and exiting your site will not only give insight into the
most relevant search queries associated with your site, but will inform you
if there are specific pages within your site that people are leaving the site
with or perhaps have left off to return at a later time.
Users of new sites are not normally going to buy the first time there. This
is just an indication that your site is user friendly and people are finding
their way to the purchase stage. If your cart is not being utilized and
conversions are low, it is time to dig into your visitor flow and find out
what is happening.
Four: In-Page Analytics/Event Tracking
In-Page Analytics and event tracking can give you insight into
everything that occurs on your page. Everyday you should be setting
aside time to look at the analytics of your site and draw conclusions.
In-Page analytics is great at showing the percentage of clicks on any
specific portion versus the rest of the page. Use this tool to see if they
are making it below the fold, to see if your clicks are concentrated on
any specific area, if the clicks are lacking in the places that you want
them or just to get an idea of the normal use of your site.
Five: Multi-Channel Funnels
Multi-channel funnel is setup pretty well to accommodate most e-
commerce sites and to track what should be important to you as a
new site. In order to take advantage of this, you have two options:
A. Set up eCommerce tracking for your site.
B. Set up conversion goals to monitor your visitor flow.
Setting up a goal will allow you to track the user funnel. When setting
up your goal include the goal URL for the "confirmation" page, also
add a goal gunnel with the "checkout" page this will give you more
information on abandoned carts. You will then be able to see the
conversion path for your visitors.
