UNIT 1
1. Mission & Vision
The mission
The mission of data analysis is to obtain all the necessary information for decision
making in our business.
Three axes:
•User acquisition.
•User behaviour within our business.
•Customer loyalty.
The vision
If we manage to recognise:
– what our visitors are like,
– what they are concerned about and enthusiastic about
– what decision point they are at before they buy
– what barriers they face.
Only in this way can we implement useful corrective actions and measures to achieve our business
objectives.
2. History & evolution of data analysis
Web analitics 1.0
Interactions on the web were rather scarce and the analysis of customer behaviour required the
use of offline business information
The digital analyst → had mainly a technical profile. Data was obtained generally through traditional
log systems
1993 – The first web analytics tool is born: WebTrends
Web analitics 2.0
As the Internet matured, more and more users made use of this platform to carry out their
transactions.
The social aspect → is also beginning to play a leading role
The digital analyst → is focused on representing all the information in a simple and visual way, which
makes it accessible and understandable to all the company’s profiles.
1997 – Urchin, a web data analysis company, is born.
2000 – Urchin forgets about logs and starts tracking user interactions using JavaScript tags.
2005 – Google announces the acquisition of Urchin and launches Google Analytics
Web analitics 3.0
The online business is fragmented, the channels and digital devices with which the user interacts
multiply and an explosion of data is generated.
The concept of digital analytics→ web analytics, which deals with the analysis of user behavior across
all channels and devices.
The digital analyst → has at his disposal technologies that allow him to integrate multiple data sources,
serve to understand and improve the experience of our clients.
Web analitics 4.0
The customer journey no longer begins on a website or an application, thanks to geolocation and offline
tracking systems, we can now obtain data about our potential customer. We can analyze online
shopping trends after visiting a physical store or what influence our online campaigns have on offline
purchases.
3. The digital analyst
The management of a company’s media plan can vary and adapt to its needs, but it will always
need data to know the performance of the business and improve it. In short, data to be able to
assess whether what we are doing is working and how and how much it can be improved.
4. Fundamentals of the data analysis plan
Some of the functions are:
• Plan the measurement needs of the online business.
• Implement and configure tools for data collection.
• Identify the key business KPIs.
• Analyze and present the data.
• Propose business improvements.
• Train and inform the rest of the team.
4.1 What is web analysis?
Web analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of internet data in order to
understand and optimize the use of the web. However, web analytics can also be used as a tool
for business and market research and to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of a website.
4.2 3 pilars of web analitics
Clickstream is the sequence of hyperlinks that one or more website visitors follow to a given site,
presented in the order they were viewed.
1. A visitor’s click path can begin within the website or search engine results, and continues
as a sequence of successive web pages visited by the user.
2. Click paths take call data and can match it to ad sources, keywords, and / or referring
domains to capture data.
3. Click stream analysis is useful for web activity analysis,
4. software testing, market research, and for analyzing employee productivity
Click stream data (what?) Data collected from your website through your click stream tool (such
as Webtrends, Google Analytics, Site Catalyst, etc., etc.). It helps you measure pages and
campaigns to see what is happening on your site: visits, visitors, time on site, page views, bounce
rate, sources, etc.
Multiple outcomes analysis (the how much?)
Connecting customer behaviour to business outcomes:
•Increase revenue
•Lower costs
•Improve customer loyalty
Experimentation & testing (the why?
Data collected from experiments and tests
to tell you what works best – what the customer really wants (tools such as Google
Website Optimizer or Omniture’s Test and Target, or Optimize.ly) as opposed to basing actions on
opiniones or “hunches”
Voice of the customer (the why? v2)
Data from qualitative surveys and usability tests
giving you your customers’ direct feedback on their online experience (the reasons behind some of
your metrics).
Competitive intelligence (the what else?)
Data you can gather to tell you whether your results are good or bad or just average by comparing
them with your competitors data
Platforms such as www.alexa.com can be used for this.
4.3 The data analysis plan as !e road to happiness
digital analysts and using the data analysis plan, seek to identify each! Ing! At must be
measured so that our actions are always designed to achieve our business objectives,
– The KPIs of an online business are the thermometer that informs us how close we are to reaching
our goalsand helps us make better decisions.
– A data analysis plan will allow us to identify these KPIs and help us make decisions based on
their analysis, thus leaving out opinions.
4.4 The data analysis plan as a continuous improvement project
initial audit in which we must analyse the analytical scenario from which we start. With this audit
we intend to identify errors and shortcomings in the existing analytical implementation, and to
preserve the historical data of the business
measurement plan .A document that will include everything needs to be measured. The analyst,
beginning of the strategic objectives of the business, begin to identify the objectives to be measured,
the interactions to be known and the metrics to be heard
The implementation plan is a document indicating how the online .The ecosystem must be measured to
obtain the dimensions and metrics we have identified in the measurement plan
Data visualization and monitoring plan where the reporting needs can be effectively presented.
The visualization plan includes the detail of each report:
• Objective and nature of the report
• Metrics and data to be hosted
• Type and format of graphics
• Target group • Periodicity
• Tools we will use
4.5 What are the roles impacted by web analytics?

the business so that they can shape, design and recommend the required reporting.
