The goal of Pathmonk Intelligence is to analyze the growth opportunities and buying journey on your website in order to generate suggestions on how to improve and get better results.

The truth is, it’s often hard to tell why your site doesn’t bring the expected results and how to change that. We all know that there is no shortage of metrics. Your website analytics tool provides you with hundreds of different reports and metrics. However, many people struggle with that complexity. It becomes too difficult to understand, to get true value from all this data and actionable insights.

Pathmonk Metrics immediately tells you what you need to know and how to fix it rather than just presenting you with raw data. Our core mission is to break down the barriers to make data-driven decisions from the website simple:

What is the Challenge With Website Analytics?

Marketers with varying sizes of website traffic want to use data to drive their decisions. Yet, many teams are struggling with the metrics that are made available by their website analytics tool, causing them to fall behind. This is largely due to the commonly held conception that analytics tools are too complicated. Quickly finding actionable answers is a daunting task. 

The goal of any website analytics setup is to analyze the performance of a website in order to assess what the business is doing well and where there is room for improvement.

After more than 400+ conversations with B2B marketers, we came to the surprising finding that there is a very high number of marketers that find their website analytics tool unnecessarily complex. This complexity results in small challenges that accumulate and severely impact the effectiveness of website optimization. We’ve noted that it takes marketers unnecessarily long to answer basic questions, such as page views, website conversion, conversion rate per traffic source, etc.

Many Website Analytics Tools are Unnecessarily Complex

There is a plethora of user behavior and website analytics tools. Google Analytics is the most popular of them all with 85% of all websites using it. You can find an increasing number of threads on Quora and other discussion forums as to why Google Analytics has become so hard to use. Obviously, there will always be expert users that have a different view. Our conversations with marketers have clearly shown that many marketers think differently when it comes to their busy day-to-day work, often resulting in them disliking this unnecessarily complex website analytics tool.

It captures a bunch of data and you really need to be some kind of web analytic expert to use it

A key challenge is that you can’t customize Google Analytics without expert knowledge. The reality is that you will have to wade through a haystack of menus and irrelevant data to find the needle that gives you actionable insights. It is not always obvious what data you should or shouldn’t be focusing on.

Therefore, website owners tend to find themselves in the position of having more data than they may need. They lose time discussing, analyzing, and potentially missing the insights that could move the needle towards impactful data. 

“I spent hours trying to figure out some of the referral sources, google analytics have the data 🙂 it just requires 15 clicks to get the full path so I can see what works best for us – must be an easier way :-)”

The true value of website analytics is not in having the metrics tracked  — but in having the knowledge to make smart decisions with the data gathered from these tools.

Perhaps you can try. Let’s see how quickly can you answer the following questions:

  1. What combinations of channels should I spend my marketing budget on, at the moment for the maximum website conversion rate? 
  2. Where should we prioritize the improvements on our website? What is the expected return on that investment? 
  3. How do my customers segment by the stage in their Buying Journey? How many are just aware of what you do? How many are seriously considering it? How many are on the cusp to make a decision? 

There is simply too much breadth of knowledge and thought required to effectively work in the world of current website analytics tools to get to actionable insight, without heavy lifting.

What is Buying Journey Analysis?

The Buying Journey is the process that buyers go through to become aware of, consider, and decide to purchase your product or service. Buyers can gain nearly all the information they need independently on your site and through other online sources. So it’s no surprise that almost 70% of buyers’ journeys are done independently online and potential buyers have already completed 67% of their decision-making process before they talk to someone from your team.

HubSpot coined the term Buying Journey and outlined a simple yet effective separation of the 3 buying journey stages:

  • Stage 1 The Awareness stage: After a buyer realizes they have a problem or pain point they are eager to find a solution and begin discovering their options.
  • Stage 2 The Consideration stage: Buyers have defined their goal and are committed to addressing it. They evaluate the specific offering and start to become willing to engage with businesses.
  • Stage 3 Decision Stage: Buyers have already decided on a solution category. They have a profound understanding of specific offerings and need to decide on the one that best meets their needs. 

So, the question that marketers have to ask themself is: How can I understand and optimize the Buying journey on our website, without spending hours digging through complex reports?
