The purpose of this document is to outline how Lift AI’s integration with Google Analytics (GA) works alongside some of the key benefits to your business.
Key Benefits
1) Full visibility of your website visitors’ buyer intent scores if they do not opt out of analytics tracking
2) The ability to cross-reference any GA reporting segment with Lift AI buyer intent scores.
Google Analytics is a powerful tool that enables you to see:
- Traffic Sources
- Audience Demographics
- User Behavior
- Mobile usage
- Conversion (or eCommerce) tracking
- Site Performance
With the Lift AI integration, you can now slice all these views by the Buyer Intent of the visitor. For Example, which traffic sources or audiences generate a higher % of High-Intent Visitors, or which pages are High-Intent Visitors consuming the most and more?
3) Ability to combine Lift AI buyer intent data to any other system you have integrated with GA.
This allows you to get feedback on the quality of traffic in key areas so you can take steps to accelerate your engagement with high buyer intent visitors while nurturing, supporting, or even filtering out low intent visitors from key sales or marketing processes.
For example, you may prioritize visitors who complete a contact us form if they are high intent versus low, or you may get a salesperson engaged in live chat if the visitors is high intent versus a chatbot for low intent.
What does Lift AI send to Google Analytics?
The data that Lift AI sends to Google Analytics is used to help website owners better understand their visitors and make informed decisions about how to optimize their website and their sales and marketing programs.
We do this by tagging each individual website visitor with a ‘Buyer Intent’ score, then passing that score into an ‘event’ in Google Analytics.
In addition, Lift AI can pass our unique “Anonymous Visitor ID” to Google Analytics. With this ID, you may be able to connect the information you have about these visitors in GA with information you have about these visitors in other systems.
