Understanding Your Marketing Dashboards
The Visitors Dashboard provides a comprehensive view of your visitors' count and engagement. It enables you to monitor visitor trends over time, identify the most successful landing pages, keep tabs on the number of generated carts, and see the conversion ratio for each page. This dashboard is designed to assist you in making informed, data-driven decisions to enhance the landing page performance and conversion.
-
New Visitors
This metric captures the count of visits from unique individuals to your Thinkific website. New visitors refers to the number of first-time visits to a website, tracked through unique browser sessions. When a user visits the website for the first time, their browser receives a unique visitor identifier. This identifier ensures that any future visits from the same browser are recognized as the same visitor. Unless the user deletes their browser cookies, they will not be counted as a "new visitor" again in subsequent visits.
-
New Carts Generated
New Carts Generated measures the number of users who take action on the website, such as clicking on Enroll, Buy Now or other call-to-action buttons (including custom buttons), leading to the creation of a cart. This interaction does not have to occur during the user's first visit. If a user returns to the website after their initial visit and then initiates a cart, that cart is still counted under this metric.Note that this metric does not count the cart completion, see the Checkout Conversion for more information on how many users successfully complete the checkout.
-
Carts to Visitors Ratio
Percentage of New Visitors who have generated a cart.
-
New Visitors by Landing Page
This chart segments first-time visits by the type of landing page accessed during their initial visit. There are five categories of landing pages: Home Page, Bundle Landing Page, Collections Page, Course Landing Page, and Other.
-
Landing Page Performance
Landing Page Performance provides insights into the effectiveness of each landing page category or specific pathname (i.e. a specific page in the category). There are five categories of landing pages: Home Page, Bundle Landing Page, Collections Page, Course Landing Page, and Other. Select the > button next to a category to expand the view to analyze the performance metrics for each individual pathname / URL within that category.
