Segmenting lets you isolate and analyze subsets of data so you can examine and respond to the component trends in your organization’s traffic.
For example, if you find users from a particular geographic region or traffic referrer are no longer donating or registering the same volume as they normally had, you can use segmenting to make changes to site layout, sitemap, and content- or see if competitors are offering similar user experiences.
A segment is made up of one or more non-destructive filters (filters that do not alter the underlying data). These filters isolate subsets of users, sessions, and hits and can be compared directly to each other or broader site traffic.
Subsets of Segments
- Of Users: People interacting with your site (for example, users in city, who have previously donated; demographic and audience data)
- Of Sessions: Interactions by a single user are grouped into sessions. (for example, all sessions originating from Campaign A; all sessions during which a purchase occurred
- Of Hits: Direct page actions clicked including pageviews, events, and transaction (for example, all hits in which revenue was greater than $10)
You can include unlimited filters for users, sessions, and hits in the same segment.
