By Charles Barclay

The digital world is a sprawling network of websites, apps, social platforms, and advertising channels where customers interact with brands. Understanding the complete, often non-linear path a customer takes across all these online touchpoints is essential but challenging. This book introduces you to Online Analytics - the vital discipline of collecting, measuring, analyzing, and interpreting data from every digital interaction to truly map the customer journey and reveal how it drives business outcomes.

Moving beyond just website visits, you'll learn the foundations of data collection across all your online properties, how to identify and track touchpoints across diverse channels, and interpret user behavior to understand intent. The book delves into evaluating channel effectiveness across the entire digital mix, mastering multi-touch attribution models to accurately credit contributions, calculating campaign ROI and customer lifetime value, and leveraging segmentation for deeper insights. You'll also explore advanced techniques like predictive analytics, A/B testing, and real-time personalization to optimize the customer experience dynamically. Practical guidance is provided on integrating data from systems like CRM for a unified customer view, visualizing insights for stakeholders, and navigating the critical landscape of data privacy and ethical considerations under regulations like GDPR and CCPA. This comprehensive guide equips you to make data-driven decisions that significantly enhance the customer experience across all online channels and boost your overall marketing ROI.
