Understanding Site Analytics

  • Updated

The Site Analytics page helps you understand which accounts visit your website, which pages they view, and how visitors discover your website through AI platforms. Use this information to analyze website engagement, identify trends, and tailor your content and messaging to visitor interests.

You can analyze website activity for an account list or an individual account.

See Site Analytics Use Cases.


Understand Page Visit Types

Site Analytics tracks two types of page visits:

What are AI-Referred Visitors?

AI-referred visitors are unique website visitors who arrive through AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot.

Demandbase tracks AI-referred visitors as unknown visits using the Demandbase Tag. These metrics help you understand how AI platforms drive traffic to your website and which content attracts visitors.

See Understand AI-Referred Visitors in Site Analytics.

Understand Page Visit Counts

Demandbase and integrated MAS platforms use different technologies to identify website visitors. As a result, they may identify different visitors or record the same page visit.

When both systems identify the same visit:

  1. The Demandbase Tag initially records the visit as an unknown visit.
  2. If the MAS later associates the visit with a known contact and syncs the activity to Demandbase, Demandbase counts the visit again as a known visit.

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


Track Campaign Performance with URL and UTM Parameters

Site Analytics uses URL and UTM parameters to help you understand which campaigns and traffic sources drive visitors to your website.

See Landing Page URL and UTM Parameters and UTM Parameters to Use in Landing Page URLs.


Prerequisites to Access Site Analytics

Filter Site Analytics for Account Lists

Use quick filters or click More Filters to define additional criteria using selectors.

You can also use the following toggles to adjust the data displayed:

  • Engagement Points:By default, Site Analytics shows only page visits with assigned Engagement Points. Turn off the Site Analytics EM Toggle.png toggle to include all page visits, regardless of whether Engagement Points are assigned.
  • Trending Onsite Engagement: Turn on the Site Analytics TE Toggle.png toggle to highlight accounts with increased website activity during the most recent seven days compared to the preceding two months. Both periods are based on the selected end date.

    For example, if the selected end date is September 30, Demandbase compares visits from September 24–30 against activity during the preceding two months.
