Web Analytics and Business Research

Web analytics is the process of gathering and analyzing your web content’s data in order to gather meaningful information about how your site is being utilized by your users. There are plenty of Web analytics applications out there, and you probably already know the leading players such as Google Analytics, Crazy Egg, and remote-site services such as Alexa and Compete for Web analytics processes.

Web analytics is not just a tool for measuring Web site traffic but can be used as a tool for business research and market research. Web analytics applications can also help companies measure the results of traditional print advertising campaigns. Web analytics helps you to estimate how the traffic to the site changed after the launch of a new advertising campaign. Web analytics provides data on the no of visitors, page views etc to gauge the popularity of the sites which will help to do the market research.

Further, web analytics gives information on competition and market. Comparison with competitors is a fundamental element of business and business research; even innovators need to know how far ahead they are in their market. The Internet seems to offer fertile terrain for capturing accurate marketing statistics on website usage and position relative to other players in a given market to help to perform business research. Indeed, most of us have often heard web statistics from Nielsen//NetRatings, Alexa or comScore cited in the press and elsewhere, which are all  part of web analytics.

Practitioners of Search Engine Optimization and web marketing know that web analytics is not just silo analysis of a company’s website: it also entails looking at how a website and its business performance metrics measure up in the overall web ecosystem. This way web analytics helps in business research and market research.

Web Analytics is failing to Drive Business Decision Making

According to business research published this week by E-consultancy and Lynchpin, Companies are typically failing to adopt a coherent strategy which ties in web analytics data with business objectives,

Less than a fifth of companies (18%) have an internal strategy that ties data collection and analysis to business objectives. According to the survey, more than half (56%) of responding organizations said that they are "working on this," while a further 22% say that they don't have such a strategy.

The business research also found that only a quarter of company respondents (25%) say that their web analytics "definitely" provide actionable insights, with a further 56% saying that this is only sometimes the case.

Spending on technology accounts for 45% of company spending on web analytics compared to 18% for consulting and services and a further 36% on internal staff.

Linus Gregoriadis, head of research at E-consultancy, said: "Respected analytics experts advise that the amount spent on technology should only really be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to analytics investment.

"Our business research shows that many organisations are under-investing in internal analytics staff and failing to implement a coherent measurement strategy which can help them turn their data into something of real value to their business."

The majority of company respondents (58%) say that half or less of their web analytics data is useful for driving decision-making. More than a third (38%) say that 30% or less of their data is useful.

The most widespread use of web analytics tools is for reporting traffic figures, the research found. Almost nine out of ten responding organisations (88%) said that this is an "important use" of web analytics.

The next most important function of analytics is to help understanding of customer behaviour, deemed to be an important use by 70% of company respondents.

More than 700 companies took part in the survey including 434 "client-side" respondents and 229 supplier-side companies (including agencies, consultancies and analytics vendors).

Andrew Hood, managing director of Lynchpin added: "Analytics' reputation is in tatters. Millions have been invested by large corporations around the world in analytics software that does not give business the answers it promised. "Today, there is a massive disconnect between the analytics market and what business needs. It is vital that the analytics sector address this issue and provide the business consultancy and online strategy needed to unlock the potential of analytics software."
