Traffic, sources & campaign reports
How this is scored
What the standard reports show: page views, visits and visitors, entry and exit pages, referrers, search engines and social networks as sources, campaigns tagged with UTM parameters, countries, devices and browsers, a real-time view, date comparisons, segments and filters, custom dashboards, scheduled email reports, shared or public dashboards, and whether reports are sampled or complete.
0 — Not a web analytics product; website traffic cannot be measured with it.
3 — Page views and visitors over time with top pages and referrers; campaign parameters, segments and report sharing are basic or not described.
5 — A dashboard with pages, referrers, UTM campaigns, countries and devices, a real-time view, date comparison, filters across all reports, email reports, and dashboards shared with clients or colleagues.
8 — Custom segments and saved views, custom dashboards and report builders, channel grouping that can be configured, Search Console or ad platform data shown beside the traffic, unsampled reports stated, several sites and roll-up reporting in one account, and annotations.
10 — Reporting that a whole organisation runs on: custom dimensions and calculated metrics, anomaly alerts, multi-site and multi-brand roll-ups with roles per site, report accuracy and how visitors are counted explained in a published methodology, and every report reproducible from the raw data.
The Public-Sector Site Owner
The captured pages show page views, referrers with parsed search keywords, devices and geographies queryable with no sampling, real-time monitoring alongside historical analysis, custom dashboards and behavioural segmentation — the searched-terms reporting is exactly what I need for the residents' portal. However, we found no public information on date comparisons, scheduled email reports, entry and exit pages, or roll-up reporting across several sites, which a 400,000-resident operation would expect. 2 9 10
