Key performance indicator or KPI is a measurable value that is an indicator about the performance of your business. You can’t reliably do eCommerce without measuring. It is absolutely necessary to identify the indicators that are relevant to your business and keep an eye on them to identify potential issues. When you have your analytics setup ready and tracking the KPIs of your choosing, you can measure the effectiveness of your actions reliably.
You can use KPIs for example to track sales goals, like conversion rate or revenue. Before setting your KPIs it’s important to go over your goals for online business and define the indicators that matter the most to your business.
Maybe you’d like to know:
Tag managers are used to manage the tags (short code snippets or tracking codes) on your websites and mobile apps easily without involving a developer and without having to touch any code on site. They enable you to create customized and detailed tracking for all your needs. The most popular tag managers are Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Adobe’s Dynamic Tag Management (DTM).
Visualization makes your data informative and easy to digest. Data visualization helps you interpret the indicators that are important for your business. You can combine multiple data sources into a single dashboard so you can more easily track and manage your whole business. Some of the most popular tools for data visualization are Google Data Studio and Microsoft Power BI.

Do you know where all your data is stored and are you using its whole potential? Many analytics tools are difficult to use and finding the right information can be challenging or at least labor-intensive. We visualize your key metrics into a single dashboard, so you can easily track the things that matter to your business. A dashboard combines multiple data sources into a clear, visual format, so you have a better understanding of your website’s performance. Dashboards can also be used to reduce the time you use on creating reports and presentations, so you can use your time for analysis and making meaningful decisions.
Do you have an online store and use Google Analytics? Do you want to have more information about how your store is performing? If so, you should consider using Google Analytics Enhance Ecommerce.
With an Enhanced Ecommerce setup, we can track the online store performance even more precisely: Which products and categories bring you the most revenue, how the users behave in the checkout funnel or how much your internal promotions improve product visibility and sales. The collected data can be used in marketing and conversion rate optimization, for example.
In addition to Enhanced Ecommerce setups we also provide diverse Google Analytics setups for B2B companies.
The setup you have created in your Google Tag Manager directly influences the quality of your data. Because of this, it is important to make sure your tracking setup is working correctly, and all the necessary data will be collected. In advanced tracking cases the data quality can be improved by prioritizing the tags correctly and by making improvements to your site’s code. We often encounter unused or unnecessary scripts from third parties, that negatively impact the website’s performance and user experience.
For these reasons we provide a free Google Tag Manager audit for our potential customers and help them in creating and maintaining their tracking implementations.
