If you do not trust your Analytics data …
… you are probably losing money by making decisions based on this data.
With 14 years of experience working with Google Analytics I have seen all sorts of problems. If you detect any of these in your account, I think you should seek help:
- Your enhanced ecommerce shopping behaviour and checkout funnel are not corrected implemented.
- You can not see what sources or marketing campaigns generate conversions.
- Your bounce rates show 0% or are very low for certain pages.
- Funnels show sudden conversion rates of 0% or 100%.
- Your reports show all zeros in the wrong places.
- You can not calculate what keywords are profitable in AdWords.
- Your conversion costs for sources like Facebook or Twitter Advertising are not included in Google Analytics.
- Your reports are contaminated by robots or spam traffic.
- Your payment gateways are listed as referrals medium, and that is ruining your conversion reports.

The 3 most common mistakes that companies make when implementing Google Analytics
Setup not adapted to the business goals
Because of poor implementation and confusing results, many businesses do not trust data they gathered using default settings. You will not be able to optimize your website, if you do not look past the default reports and access the valuable information provided by custom reports and custom dimensions.
No use of data
Because of poor implementation and confusing results, many businesses do not trust data they gathered using default settings. You will not be able to optimize your website, if you do not look past the default reports and access the valuable information provided by custom reports and custom dimensions.
Incorrect or corrupted data
Misconfiguration contaminates and corrupts the data. For example, many companies look at the Landing Pages report, but the URLs are not clean because they have forgotten to exclude query parameters from the URLs. This leads to duplication of URLS in the report, confusion, and ultimately mistrust of the data.
