      Getting to know the most important Google Analytics metrics

      If you’re just starting with Google Analytics, it’s good to get yourself familiar with the Google Analytics metrics. These are numbers and percentages that you'll see over and over in various reports and dashboards.

      📖 If you’re looking for information about connecting Google Analytics to Foleon, read our article Set up Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for your Foleon Docs.

       

      👉 A Doc's preview link (e.g., https://example.viewer.foleon.com) is not tracked with Google Analytics. To see data in Google Analytics, share the URL of your published Foleon Doc (e.g., https://example.customdomain.com).

      Users

      This is the number of unique visitors who visited your Foleon Doc. A user can have multiple sessions. For instance, if a visitor comes to your Foleon Doc and looks at a few pages, then after a nice lunch break returns to his desk and visits again, Google Analytics will record one user and two sessions.

      Avg. session duration

      As its name implies, this is simply the average amount of time people spend visiting your Foleon Doc during a single session. If two people visit your Foleon Doc, with one spending 3 minutes before leaving and the other spending 10 minutes, your average session duration will be 6.5 minutes.

      Views (Pageviews)

      The pageviews metric is the total number of pages viewed by all your users. Repeat views of the same page by the same person are included in this number. You can look at the pageviews for individual pages, and also the total number of pageviews for your entire Foleon Doc.

      Exits

      This measures the number of times that the last event recorded for a session occurred on a page. This indicates where people may be getting stuck or losing interest and leaving your Foleon Doc.

      Bounce rate

      Bounce rate is the percentage of sessions that end after just 1 page view. In other words, they came and then immediately left again. Every page that serves as an entry point to your site has its own bounce rate. A low bounce rate indicates that users like what they see and continue interacting with your Foleon Doc.
