Now What?

Great! You’ve got Google Analytics connected to your Etsy shop. It’ll take about 24 hours to start seeing statistics. To check your statistics, you’ll visit your Google Analytics account. Here’s a quick guide to what you are seeing when you click on the Google Analytics “Reporting” tab:

  • Users: This is the number of unique visitors to your Etsy shop. For example, if I visit your shop 10 times, I will be counted 1 time as a user.
  • Sessions: These are basically page views. This is the number of page views in your Etsy shop. If I click 5 products in your Etsy shop, I’ll be counted as 5 in the sessions.
  • Average Visit Duration: The amount of time I spend in your Etsy shop.
  • Direct traffic: These are people that typed in your Etsy shop address to land in your shop.
  • Referral Traffic: These are visitors that were referred from a link on another site.
  • Search Traffic: This is visitors that landed on your site from search engines.

More

  • The “All Traffic”, then “Channels” tells you where customers are finding your site. You can click on “Social”, “Organic Search”, “Direct”, and “Referral”. From the “Social” report, you can see which social media networks are most effective. From “Organic Search” you can see what search terms led customers to your shop, from “Direct” you’ll see the number of people that typed in your address directly, and the “Referral” link tells you what other sites have a link to your site where customers have clicked through and landed in your shop.

I urge you to click around and explore your new Google Analytics account. There is lots of available data for you to sift through.
