How to track events with GA
Challenges
•   As to implementing the tracking of events:


    •   Can we analyze the interaction with the Route
        Planner Tool by means of event tracking?


    •   Can we embed the event tracking of this tool in a site
        wide implementation structure?
Challenges
•   As to the use of the Route Planner Tool:


    •   What are the most useful advanced search

Concept

E.T.I.S
Event Tracking
Implementation
Schema
Say what?
•   Schema that facilitates the implementation of events


•   Framework for actionable grouping in action sets


•   Engagement shaping based on high (scan-behave-
    focus) or low involvement (scan-focus-behave)
Say why?
•   To track events on page level in a uniform way and with
    an equivocal taxonomy


•   To analyze events as goals, based on level of
    engagement or involvement of surfer


•   To optimize tools, pages, sites for conversions
Say how?
All sites of company:
•   Identify different categories & actions in a spreadsheet
•   Validate types of actions based on level of engagement


On site tools on all company’s sites:
•   Differentiate labels, f.e. in case of Route Planner Tool
•   Integrate engagement model in label structure of tool

How to track events with GA
Last month we noticed a high correlation between
unique events on fields and unique search events in
case of ‘intersection’ and ‘identification’
Case
The auto suggestion functionality of the Route Planner
Tool needs to be enriched, especially of the ‘intersection’
& ‘identification’ search option.


“Modelling data delivers actionable intelligence.”

Action   Engagement
How to track events with GA
Last month 20% of all users looked for details of the
route and a service later, but only 3,5 % of all users plan
their return trip using the Route Planner Tool.
Case
Based on the event tracking data the ‘service later’, ‘details
of route’ and ‘return trip’ feature needs a more prominent
& user-friendly on page localization.


“Modelling data delivers actionable intelligence.”
