A better understanding
Because they allow to develop a profound understanding of your visitors, Analytics tools are particularly adapted to retain your audience, by making it possible to offer content that is more and more relevant and processes that are more and more effective.
Reporting
The change Google Analytics went through a while ago was to add the Dashboards option on the Home view, along with Real-Time and Intelligence Events. Email reporting can be interesting for clients that have no time to spend online and would rather get an overview on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.
A/B Experiment
When performing an A/B experiment, the visitor will either end up on page A or a variation (B) and the conversion of the page will be tracked and reported to see which page works better.
To conduct an A/B experiment, we need the current Web page to experiment and its variations. The A/B experiment should be used for landing pages or any type of page that contrasts with the rest of the Website.
Google Analytics will let you know when it feels confident in its results, which could take days, weeks or months.
Multivariate Experiment
The multivariate experiment is even more interesting but also requires more work. Instead of using a different set of page links, the testing occurs on the same page but in multiple areas.
This way, you can set different logos, call to actions and forms looks all at the same time and see what is more popular in each area of the page but also as a whole.
For a dynamic website such as Wordpress or Cloud CMS, we could even test the CSS that works better so the whole website could have different colors and fonts depending on which version the visitors ends up on.
This type of testing can become really interesting for a client who wants to redesign a popular website so we can conduct experiments on it before changing the whole look and risk losing conversion.
