The Site Analytics page in Analytics helps you understand who’s visiting your website. Using Site Analytics, you can learn about the accounts that are visiting your website and the pages they are viewing. This allows you to tailor your content and messages based on what accounts are researching on your website. For more information about using Site Analytics, see Site Analytics Use Cases.
The information on the page differs if you select an account list versus an account.
- For an account list, you can see metrics for account visits, unique visitors, and page views, a website visits graph, the accounts that visited your website, and the pages they viewed.
- For an account, you can see metrics for the account's page views and unique visitors, a website visits graph, and the pages the account viewed.
Page Visit Types
Site Analytics reports on two types of page visits:
- Page visits from unknown visitors, which are tracked by the Demandbase tag based on IP address and the Demandbase cookie.
- Page visits from known contacts, which are synced regularly from an integrated marketing automation system (MAS).
Customers who have synced MAS data might see more page visits per account than customers who haven’t integrated an MAS. To only view data about page visits from unknown visitors, create an activity filter from the Type field as shown in the following screenshot.
Page Visit Counts
Demandbase and the MAS use very different technologies for identifying visitors, hence the likelihood of counting duplicates for page visits is low. Demandbase will sometimes identify a visitor to a website when the MAS will not and vice versa. Demandbase and the MAS will sometimes both identify a visitor, while sometimes neither system will identify a visitor.
In the few cases when both Demandbase and the MAS identify a similar page visit to a website, Demandbase counts the visit detected by the Demandbase tag as a page visit from an unknown visitor. If the MAS later associates the same page visit to a known contact and syncs the data to Demandbase, the visit ends up being double-counted.
To get a complete picture of onsite engagement, the best practice would be to assign Engagement Minutes for both unknown and known site visitors. See Set Up Engagement Minutes for Activities.
URL/UTM Parameters
Site Analytics leverages URL/UTM parameters to track channel performance. For more information, see Landing Page URL and UTM Parameters and Reference: UTM Parameters to Use in Landing Page URLs.
Site Analytics for Account Lists
To view Site Analytics for an account list, from the left navigation bar, go to Analytics > Site Analytics. Select an account list and specify a date range.
To filter the page, use quick filters or click More Filters and use Selectors to define your filter criteria.
You can also toggle Engagement Minutes and Trending Onsite Engagement on or off to update the information displayed.
-
Engagement Minutes: By default, Demandbase only shows page visits that have Engagement Minutes assigned. Toggle off
to show all page visits.
- Trending Onsite Engagement: Toggle on
to show accounts with a recent increase in page visits. When you toggle the option on, Demandbase shows the accounts that have more website visits in the past week than in the two months leading up to that week. The 7-day and 2-month time frames that Demandbase uses to find accounts with a surge in website activity is based on the end date that you select. For example, if you select September 30th as the end date, Demandbase compares website activity for the seven days ending on September 30th to the two months ending on September 24th.
