Common FAQs on Google Analytics

How do I set up Google Analytics for my website?

To set up Google Analytics, sign in to your Google Analytics account and click on “Admin” at the bottom left. Under the “Account” column, click “Create Account” and follow the setup wizard to add your website details. After creating the account, you’ll receive a tracking ID. Install the Google Analytics tracking code on your website, either by adding it directly to your site’s code or using a tag manager like Google Tag Manager.

How can I track specific events or actions on my website?

To track specific events, you need to set up event tracking in Google Analytics. This involves adding additional code to your website that sends event data to Google Analytics. You can use Google Tag Manager to create and manage event tags more easily. Define events such as button clicks, form submissions, or video views, and configure the event categories, actions, and labels to capture relevant data.

What are Google Analytics goals and how do I set them up?

Google Analytics goals help you track specific actions users take on your website, such as completing a purchase or signing up for a newsletter. To set up goals, go to the “Admin” section and under the “View” column, click on “Goals.” Click “+ New Goal” and follow the setup wizard to define the type of goal (e.g., destination, duration, pages/screens per session, event) and specify the criteria for goal completion. Once set up, you can track goal conversions in your reports.

Create interactive demos in seconds

A core issue we identified was that the team was often spending a lot of time creating custom demos, guides, or walkthroughs for unqualified prospects.

Ultimately, this led to a lot of wasted time, a huge amount of burden and effort for already busy staff, and a diffusion of focus on targeting the right prospects.

Prior to Supademo, we were spending countless hours putting together demos and videos across discovery, qualification, training, or simply answering common questions. Creating these could take upwards of 8-10 hours, which is both painful for us, but also less engaging for prospects.

One of my pain points was how time-consuming it was to create product demos for both demonstrations and trade shows manually. The ability to create a Supademo in minutes and the ability to showcase these at conferences has saved us an incredible amount of time!
