Visitors Dashboard

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 (i.e. all other Thinkic site pages not covered by the previous four page types).
     
  • Top Referring Domains
    Displays the most common domains that referred new visitors to the website. It ranks these sources by the number of new visitors they generated during the selected period. This information helps identify the primary drivers of visitors to your site and can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and referral channels.

    The Not Captured means the referring domain was not recorded, either because it was a direct visit to your site or the referrer couldn’t be identified for that visitor.

     

  • 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 (i.e. all other Thinkic site pages not covered by the previous four page types). Select the > button next to a category to expand the view to analyze the performance metrics for each individual pathname / URL within that category.

Leads Dashboard

The Leads Dashboard provides comprehensive visibility into top-of-funnel page views, lead capture and student conversion. This dashboard allows you to analyze and improve your lead generation and conversion efforts.
The Leads Dashboard enables you to monitor lead capture trends over time, identify the most successful lead capture sources, keep tabs on the number of leads generated through lead magnets, and see how many leads converted into students.

Leads Overview (All Leads) section

This section includes information about leads captured through all lead sources, including: Email Captures, Digital Download and Coaching & Webinars Lead Magnets, and Abandoned Cart emails.

  • Leads Captured
    This metric captures the number of leads captured via different sources.

     
  • Leads Converted to Students
    Count of leads that have been successfully converted to students. A lead is considered converted when the user gains access to a product. The conversion date can be either before or after the lead capture date. You can adjust this using the Student Before Lead Capture filter. The date filter applies to the lead capture date. If a lead is captured within the selected date range but converted to a student outside that range, the conversion is still counted.

     
  • Leads Converted to Students
    Count of leads that have been successfully converted into paid students. A lead is considered converted to a paid student when the user completes their first non-zero payment. The conversion date can be either before or after the lead capture date. You can adjust this using the Student Before Lead Capture filter. The date filter applies to the lead capture date. If a lead is captured within the selected date range but converted to a paid student outside that range, the conversion is still counted.

     
  • Lead Captured Over Time
    This chart displays the count of leads captured via different lead sources over time within the chosen date range. You can change the timeframe using the Date Granularity filter.

  • Lead Magnet Performance

The name of the product underlying the lead magnet alongside its product type is provided. For lead conversion, the conversion date can be either before or after the lead capture date. You can adjust this using the Student Before Lead Capture filter. The date filter applies to the lead capture date.

With the Checkout Conversion Dashboard, you can dig deeper into the checkout conversion of each of your products.

  • Checkouts Started

  • Clicked to Pay
