Data Studio lets you connect to all your marketing data and turn that data into beautiful, informative reports that are easy to understand, share, and fully customizable. We wanted to take a moment to give you some of the details about Data Studio.<br /> <br /> <b>Making it easy to share data within your organization — or with the world</b><br /> <br /> One of the fundamental ideas behind Data Studio is that data should be easily accessible to anyone in an organization. We believe that as more people have access to data, better decisions will be made.<br /> <br /> With multiple data connectors, you can now easily create dashboards from many different types of data and share with everyone in your organization - and you can mix and match data sources within a single report. For example, you can combine Google Analytics data and Google AdWords data into a single report.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcz4k1Jn-GxMmU_HFCoJnnRv1j00YvGPBlwquJgblgL6EGnDkNVh9uXBOS0N5HVYXf93NpUm2qVwDim2n01obQ1AqY6vGwVWHFc427zScc4WHO0KT5VD9fOH5kWkknpHxpH_7a/s1600/Screen+Shot+2016-05-25+at+8.31.40+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcz4k1Jn-GxMmU_HFCoJnnRv1j00YvGPBlwquJgblgL6EGnDkNVh9uXBOS0N5HVYXf93NpUm2qVwDim2n01obQ1AqY6vGwVWHFc427zScc4WHO0KT5VD9fOH5kWkknpHxpH_7a/s640/Screen+Shot+2016-05-25+at+8.31.40+AM.png" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> Today, we’re offering multiple data connectors, so you can connect to Google Analytics, Google AdWords, Google Sheets and many other Google services. But Data Studio offers integration with a wide variety of data sources. There’s also a connector for BigQuery and we will soon have connectors to SQL databases that will let you access first party data.<br /> <br /> Data Studio is more that just sharing reports with other people — it’s true collaboration. We used the same infrastructure as Google Docs, so you can edit reports together, in real time. This is useful as you combine data from multiple teams and need others to add analysis and context to the report.<br /> <br /> <b>Visualization tools to style your reports and data </b><br /> <br /> In addition to new sharing and collaboration tools, Data Studio gives you many flexible ways to present your data.

Data Studio lets you connect to all your marketing data and turn that data into beautiful, informative reports that are easy to understand, share, and fully customizable. We wanted to take a moment to give you some of the details about Data Studio.<br /> <br /> <b>Making it easy to share data within your organization — or with the world</b><br /> <br /> One of the fundamental ideas behind Data Studio is that data should be easily accessible to anyone in an organization. We believe that as more people have access to data, better decisions will be made.<br /> <br /> With multiple data connectors, you can now easily create dashboards from many different types of data and share with everyone in your organization - and you can mix and match data sources within a single report. For example, you can combine Google Analytics data and Google AdWords data into a single report.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcz4k1Jn-GxMmU_HFCoJnnRv1j00YvGPBlwquJgblgL6EGnDkNVh9uXBOS0N5HVYXf93NpUm2qVwDim2n01obQ1AqY6vGwVWHFc427zScc4WHO0KT5VD9fOH5kWkknpHxpH_7a/s1600/Screen+Shot+2016-05-25+at+8.31.40+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcz4k1Jn-GxMmU_HFCoJnnRv1j00YvGPBlwquJgblgL6EGnDkNVh9uXBOS0N5HVYXf93NpUm2qVwDim2n01obQ1AqY6vGwVWHFc427zScc4WHO0KT5VD9fOH5kWkknpHxpH_7a/s640/Screen+Shot+2016-05-25+at+8.31.40+AM.png" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> Today, we’re offering multiple data connectors, so you can connect to Google Analytics, Google AdWords, Google Sheets and many other Google services. But Data Studio offers integration with a wide variety of data sources. There’s also a connector for BigQuery and we will soon have connectors to SQL databases that will let you access first party data.<br /> <br /> Data Studio is more that just sharing reports with other people — it’s true collaboration. We used the same infrastructure as Google Docs, so you can edit reports together, in real time. This is useful as you combine data from multiple teams and need others to add analysis and context to the report.<br /> <br /> <b>Visualization tools to style your reports and data </b><br /> <br /> In addition to new sharing and collaboration tools, Data Studio gives you many flexible ways to present your data. Sure, there’s the usual assortment of bar charts, pie charts, and time series.

And every year, over half of the trillions of searches on Google happen on mobile<sup>2</sup>.<br /> <br /> This shift to mobile has made marketers' jobs more complex. We all have more opportunities than ever to reach consumers all day and measure their behavior in their I-want-to-know, I-want-to-go, I-want-to-do and I want-to-buy moments. But it's also harder to keep all the channels and touchpoints straight.

There's a lot to discover with the Firebase platform -- more than we could possibly explain in a single blog post. So over the next several weeks, we'll be sharing posts focusing on each of the individual features of Firebase. For our first post, we wanted to let you know about Firebase Analytics -- the free and unlimited analytics solution for mobile developers.<br /> <br /> Analytics are at the heart of successful apps, so when we expanded <a href="http://firebase.google.com/?utm_campaign=Firebase_featureoverview_awareness_analytics_en_05-18-16_&utm_source=GA&utm_medium=blog">Firebase</a> to help mobile developers build better apps and grow successful businesses, we thought it was important to build an analytics solution that serves the needs of all app developers, from two-person startups to large, established companies.<br /> <br /> Meet <a href="http://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics?utm_campaign=Firebase_featureoverview_awareness_analytics_en_05-18-16_&utm_source=GA&utm_medium=blog">Firebase Analytics</a>, a free and unlimited analytics tool built from the ground up for mobile apps. Firebase Analytics is at the core of the Firebase platform, providing the insights you need to build successful apps.<br /> <br /> <b>All your app analytics in one place.</b><br /> Firebase Analytics helps you understand what your users are doing in your app. It has all of the metrics that you’d expect in an app analytics tool (average revenue per user (ARPU), active users, retention reports, event counts, etc.) combined with user properties like device type, app version, and OS version to give you insight into how users interact with your app.<br /> <br /> Collecting all of this data is simple and works right out of the box. When you add Firebase to your app, key events are measured automatically – including first opens (think of these like installs), in-app purchases, and more. With up to 500 distinct event types (each with up to 25 key-value pair parameters), you can measure additional suggested and custom events that are unique to your app with just a few lines of code.<br /> <br /> Some events are more important to you than others, so with conversion tracking you can define the most important events that happen in your app (like purchasing an item, or sharing your app with others) and create funnels just for these events to discover where users drop out of the process.<br /> <img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/U4wIp_NvPMhk9j6rBnEvqLwzuNtwjPmNNaIGE0hdp9kpn5tji5UQtalPSs8tnIUO25b8XePpW_Xzk1lnxBtfr9Rb74JwIkNJDX-1B9nmCcq-4p3sejJ9UW2xrUlG_KcIucC4DFz8" width="500" /><br /> <br /> But Firebase Analytics helps you analyze more than just user behavior. It also provides a rich set of data that helps describe your users – data like geographic information, demographics, and interests that can help you better tune your app and refine your marketing activities.<br /> <br /> While standard demographic data is helpful, it’s also important to understand user properties specific to your app. Firebase Analytics lets you define custom user properties for all of your users. For example, your fitness app can record a user's favorite exercise or your music app can record your user's favorite genre. Firebase Analytics is also integrated with BigQuery, Google’s fully-managed data warehouse, so you can export your raw Firebase data and join it with custom data for additional analysis.<br /> <br /> <b>Smarter, more effective app marketing.</b><br /> Understanding user behavior is just one important part of Firebase Analytics -- you also need to understand how your advertising and marketing activities influence those behaviors. Firebase Analytics can automatically link user behaviors within your app to a traffic source so you know where your valuable users are coming from. It works with Google AdWords and more than 20 other major ad networks without having to install any additional SDKs, making it easy to understand the ROI of your marketing and advertising spend. You can also import Firebase Analytics conversion events directly into Google AdWords, so you can bid on specific user events that happen in your app with just a few clicks.<br /> <br /> <b>Firebase Analytics makes all of Firebase better.</b><br /> Firebase Analytics is designed to make your analytics data actionable. You can use the Audiences feature to create a segment of users based on their event data and user properties. For example, an audience of people who have added items to their cart but haven't made a purchase. Or, an audience of classical music fans who have listened to more than 200 songs.<br /> <br /> You can then use these audiences in conjunction with other Firebase features, like Remote Config, which allows you to change the look-and-feel of your app just for a specific audience. Want to create a customized home screen for users who have subscribed to your newsletter or have reached a certain level in your fitness app? You can do that directly from the Firebase console using Remote Config and Audiences in Firebase Analytics.<br /> <br /> Firebase Analytics Audiences also works with Notifications, allowing you to send in-app notifications to any audience that you've defined. So, if you've just added a new set of armor to your game's in-app storefront, you can notify only the users who have purchased in-game items in the past. In addition, when your Firebase account is <a href="http://services.google.com/fh/files/blogs/firebase_adwords_overview_may.pdf">linked to AdWords</a>, you can use audiences to re-engage lapsed users with ad campaigns.

The <a href="https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/7003315">latest version</a> of Tag Manager and Tag Manager 360 for mobile apps has been designed to work with Firebase and to extend its capabilities for both developers and marketers.<br /> <br /> <b>Unified in-app instrumentation</b><br /> At the heart of Firebase is <a href="http://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics?utm_campaign=Firebase_featureoverview_awareness_analytics_en_05-18-16_&utm_source=GA&utm_medium=blog">Firebase Analytics</a> – a free and unlimited analytics product designed specifically for mobile apps. But Firebase Analytics is more than an analytics product, it’s a unified way for developers to measure anything and everything that’s happening in an app from key business drivers to detailed user interaction. This creates a single source of truth for in-app activity that you can share with other Firebase features and Google products. For Tag Manager, this makes Firebase Analytics the new data layer, which means that anyone who is using Firebase Analytics is ready to start using Tag Manager without recoding.<br /> <br /> To get started with Google Tag Manager and Tag Manager 360, simply sign-up for Firebase, <a href="http://tagmanager.google.com/">sign in to Tag Manager</a> to setup a new Firebase container, and then add both <a href="https://developers.google.com/firebase/docs/analytics?utm_campaign=Firebase_featureoverview_awareness_analytics_en_05-18-16_&utm_source=GA&utm_medium=blog">Firebase Analytics</a> and <a href="https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/">Google Tag Manager</a> to your app. Everything that you’re measuring with Firebase Analytics is ready for use in Tags, Triggers, and Variables in Tag Manager.<br /> <br /> <b>Dynamic app measurement</b><br /> Firebase Analytics makes it easy to measure what’s happening in your app. But what happens if you mislabeled an event or forgot to add a critical parameter? By adding Tag Manager or Tag Manager 360 to your app, you can make changes to your measurement setup without having to wade into the app update process.<br /> <br /> As experienced marketers know, without tag management, even the most basic tagging changes can take a lot of time and effort, require coordination between marketing and development teams, and pull resources away from other projects. With Tag Manager and Firebase, you’re able to decouple your measurement changes from your build cycles – and by doing so, streamline how your development and marketing teams work together.<br /> <br /> <b>One SDK, many options</b> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c599c5c3-c926-29ad-39bb-4339c5742485"><span style="font-family: "roboto"; font-size: 14.6667px; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img height="112" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/wWsFA138veuples2NDrSh6YCdm4avGANk4C8PG_SNR1TfN9doU7prBXosoVvBFajZs0fC675iIQuiVMdKL_jH9vaUwaqNkSlnE-JryaXjreDtD8wCbzJZomEyvjEVaUg15NKIr8V" style="-webkit-transform: rotate(0.00rad); border: none; transform: rotate(0.00rad);" width="624" /></span></span> While Firebase aims to make it easier than ever to build apps and measure user behavior, it’s not meant to be a one-size-fits-all solution. Developers and marketers often choose to use multiple solutions from multiple vendors in their apps. Google Tag Manager and Tag Manager 360 can help make sense of these disparate tools.<br /> <br /> With Firebase Analytics, it’s easy to measure what’s happening in your app – without limiting you to a single toolset. Google Tag Manager and Tag Manager 360 let you take your data and send it to various other analytics tools both at Google – such as <a href="http://analytics.blogspot.com/2016/05/introducing-firebase-analytics.html">Google Analytics</a> – and with other partners.

The model considers the number of ad interactions, order of exposure, ad creative, and many other factors to determine which keywords and clicks are the most effective at driving results.<br /> <br /> To help advertisers succeed with attribution, we’ve created a new best practices guide: “<a href="https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/7003286?utm_source=inside-adwords&utm_medium=EN&utm_campaign=dda_announce" target="_blank">Beyond Last­Click Attribution</a>.” The guide will show you how to:<br /> <ul style="align: left;"> <li>Determine how important moving beyond last­click attribution is to your business </li> <li>Choose a model that best fits your needs </li> <li>Value early influencer keywords appropriately </li> <li>Act on attribution </li> <li>Evolve your approach to attribution as measurement gets better </li> </ul> <br /> We hope the new functionality and guide will help you optimize your marketing campaigns and drive stronger results, and our goal is to expand beyond search soon. <span class="byline­author"> </span><br /> <br /> <span class="byline­author">Posted by:<br /> <i>Joan Arensman, Product Manager</i><br /> <i>Wilfred Yeung, Product Manager</i></span></div> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/05/move-beyond-last-click-attribution-in.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Google Analytics Solutions:Move beyond last click attribution in AdWords&url=https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/05/move-beyond-last-click-attribution-in.html&via=google'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/05/move-beyond-last-click-attribution-in.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='7806146081832258112' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://analytics.googleblog.com/2016/05/better-insight-into-your-customer.html' itemprop='url' title='Better insight into your customer interactions with Google Analytics '> Better insight into your customer interactions with Google Analytics </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> May 5, 2016 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> A few weeks ago, we <a href="http://analytics.blogspot.in/2016/04/spotlight-smarter-marketing-with.html" target="_blank">highlighted</a> how connecting site analytics data with digital marketing campaign data can help companies understand the full customer journey. A deep understanding of customers is essential to running a business today as customers have higher and higher expectations for personalized and relevant experiences from brands.<br /> <br /> Site and app analytics data are key sources for developing customer understanding and segmentation as, for many companies, this is where customers interact with the brand most frequently. Analytics and Analytics 360 have existing capabilities to help our customers measure lifetime value and understand user engagement for groups of their customers, but often your data needs to go deeper to help analyze your most important customers. Today, we’d like to announce a brand new capability in user-centric analysis to help address this: <a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6339208" target="_blank">User Explorer</a>. With User Explorer, you can now analyze the actions that an anonymous individual has taken on your site or app. These insights can help improve the user experience when people interact with your business online.<br /> <br /> For example, you might want to understand how your top 10 customers interacted with your site or apps. With User Explorer you can get insights into visitors that spent the most with you over a given time frame and analyze each of their journeys on your site over that time period. This analysis surfaces individual interactions that can uncover new opportunities for optimizing their overall experience and path to conversion. In addition, User Explorer opens up new possibilities to help inform your marketing activities. For example, User Explorer can help you identify anonymous individual customers who have not converted recently and help them re-engage with your site using existing marketing channels.<br /> <br /> Combine User Explorer with existing user-centric capabilities to help you go deeper and make your data actionable. With the high value users you've identified using the User Explorer, create a Google Analytics "Segment" so that you can apply this group of users across all your reports and understand how this group behaves across your site. Building an audience from these segments allows your business to remarket specifically to these customers. Using our <a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6074676" target="_blank">Cohort Analysis</a> report, will also help customers understand core user engagement metrics such as retention are performing for this same segment. When were they acquired and what percentage of them came back the next day? How many purchases does this group make day by day? In our <a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6171863" target="_blank">Active User report</a> you can see the number of users in this segment that were active in the last day, the last 7 days, and more to have a clear picture of the size of your customer base and its trend across time.<br /> <br /> We hope this feature will help you gain the insight you need to build amazing experiences for your customers.
