Understanding Site Analytics

  • Updated

The Site Analytics page in Analytics helps you understand who visits your website and which pages they view. Use this information to tailor content and messaging to visitors’ interests.

See Site Analytics Use Cases.

Understand Site Analytics Page Visit Types

Site Analytics includes the following types of page visits:

Understand Site Analytics Page Visit Counts

Demandbase and MAS use different technologies to identify website visitors. As a result, each system may identify different visitors, or both systems may identify the same visitor.

When both systems identify the same page visit, Demandbase initially counts the visit detected by the Demandbase Tag as an unknown visit. If MAS later associates the visit with a known contact and syncs the data to Demandbase, Demandbase counts the visit again.

To capture page visits from both unknown and known visitors, assign Engagement Points to both types of visitors. See Set Up Engagement Points for Activities.

Track Campaign Performance with URL and UTM Parameters

Site Analytics leverages URL/UTM parameters to track campaign performance. See Landing Page URL and UTM Parameters and UTM Parameters to Use in Landing Page URLs.


Prerequisites to Access Site Analytics


View Site Analytics for Account Lists

View Site Analytics for an account list to understand which accounts visit your website, which pages they view, and how website engagement changes over time.

Access Site Analytics for Account Lists

  1. From the left navigation bar, go to Analytics2.png Analytics > Engagement > Site Analytics. 
  2. Select an account list and specify a date range.

Filter Site Analytics for an Account List

To filter the SIte Analytics page, use quick filters, or click More Filters to use selectors to define your filter criteria.

You can also toggle Engagement Points and Trending Onsite Engagement on or off to update the information on the page.

  • Engagement Points: By default, Demandbase only shows page visits that have Engagement Points assigned. Toggle off Site Analytics EM Toggle.png to show all page visits.
  • Trending Onsite Engagement: Toggle on Site Analytics TE Toggle.png to show accounts with a recent increase in page visits. When you enable this option, Demandbase highlights accounts with higher website visit activity in the most recent 7 days compared to the prior 2 months. Both time windows are based on your selected end date.
    For example, if the end date is September 30, Demandbase compares activity from September 24–30 (7 days) against the preceding two-month period ending September 24.
