Context

Page 5: How to track events with GA
Page 6: How to track events with GA

Context• Route Planner Tool of public transportation company

• 2,2 M of monthly visits

• 3,5 M of monthly pageviews of tool’s results page

Page 7: How to track events with GA

How can we engage surfers to

use the Route Planner Tool as

their travel companion?

Page 8: How to track events with GA

Context• 2 secondary research questions:

• How are people using the Route Planner Tool?

• How can we improve the usability of this tool?

Page 9: How to track events with GA

Challenges

Page 10: How to track events with GA
Page 11: 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?

Page 12: How to track events with GA

Challenges• As to the use of the Route Planner Tool:

• What are the most useful advanced search

options of the travel info tool?

• Which are the most useful features of the Route

Planner’s results page?

Event Tracking Implementation Schema

Page 17: How to track events with GA

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)

Page 18: How to track events with GA

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

Page 19: How to track events with GA

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

Route Planner Tool

Page 26: How to track events with GA

Case• What are the most useful advanced search

options of the Route Planner Tool?

• Which are the most useful features of the Route

Planner’s results page?

Action Engagement

Page 31: How to track events with GA
Page 32: 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’

Page 33: How to track events with GA

CaseThe auto suggestion functionality of the Route Planner

Tool needs to be enriched, especially of the ‘intersection’

& ‘identification’ search option.

“Modelling data delivers actionable intelligence.”

Page 34: How to track events with GA

Case• What are the most useful advanced search options of

the Route Planner Tool?

• Which are the most useful features of the Route

Planner’s results page?

Action Engagement

Page 39: How to track events with GA
Page 40: 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.

Page 41: How to track events with GA

CaseBased 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.”

Conclusion

Page 43: How to track events with GA
Page 44: How to track events with GA

Conclusion• Event Tracking Implementation Schema (E.T.I.S.) to

analyze & act upon usability of Route Planner Tool.

• Engagement shaping applied to action sets.

• New information architecture & design of Route

Planner Tool according to most useful search options

and planning features.
