- Television commercials
- Paid and organic search
- Website referrals
- Social network
The correct answer: Television commercials
Television commercials and offline channels don’t get credit for conversions in Multi-Channel Funnel Reports. These reports tell you how previous website referrals, searches, and ads contributed to a conversion. They include:
– Paid and organic search on all search engines, including specific keywords.
– Referral sites.
– Affiliate sources.
– Social networks.
– Email newsletters.
– Custom campaigns, including offline ones that direct traffic to specific URLs.
How are multi-channel funnel reports?
Multi-Channel Funnels reports come from conversion paths. These are the steps, like clicks or referrals from different sources, that lead to a conversion. We collect these paths using the Google Analytics cookie, which tracks interactions from the same browser and device.
In these reports, we combine the conversion data from Google Analytics with the sequence of interactions in the cookie.
When you ask for data in a Multi-Channel Funnels report, it’s based on a sample of 1 million conversion paths. If your date range has fewer than 1 million conversions, you get unsampled data. Otherwise, we use a sample of 1 million to give you the results.
This is different from Core Reporting, which samples based on sessions. To learn more about the data and related concepts, check out ‘About Multi-Channel Funnels Data.
Understanding How Google Analytics Credits Channels Before a Transaction in the Conversion Path.
In short, think of assisted conversions as steps in the funnel. The final channel gets credit for the actual conversion, while all the unique channels before it get credit for assisting in the conversion. So, every channel along the way contributes to the final conversion. Google Analytics has a whole report dedicated to assisted conversions. Let’s check it out!
What are last-click or direct conversions?
Calculating Assisted/Last Click or Direct Conversions – This ratio measures how often a channel helps with a conversion compared to when it’s the last interaction.
If a channel assists multiple times in a single conversion path, we count it as one assisted conversion.
Assisted conversions can involve multiple channels. So, if two channels help in one conversion path, both get credited with an assisted conversion. This means that the total number of assisted conversions for individual channels can be more than the total for all channels combined.
Before January 1, 2012, the lookback window for conversion path interaction history was limited to 30 days.
