Navigational Questions› Are visitors landing on my home
page or designated landing pages ?
› Where do visitors go once they land?
› Are users exiting after they completed the form or continuing browsing ?

Users Flow Report Dimensions
Use Dimensions to filter your report input traffic
For example: analyse specific campaign to understand if visitors are doing what you expect them to do. Or analyse Non-paid Search Traffic
Use Custom Dimensions !

Flow reports in Google Analytics
› Users Flow› Social / Users Flow› Behaviour Flow› Events Flow› Goal Flow
› Funnel Visualisation

› Are there a lot of unexpected exits from a step in the middle of the funnel?
› Is there a place where traffic loops back?
› Is there one segment of traffic that acts differently than other segments? Is it converting more or less often?

Removal Effect Will conversion rate go up if ?..
GA provides us with the importance (or influence) of the acquisition dimensions & metrics
But what about the conversion path? Will the conversion rate change if we remove a specific page (or even Event) from it?

Navigation Removal EffectWe use the Markov model to calculatethe effect of page / event removalfrom the customer journey
