Q
  1. To recognize users across different devices, what feature must be enabled?
A

User ID

Explanation:

The User ID enables the association of one or more sessions (and any activity within those sessions) with a unique and persistent ID that you send to Analytics. To implement the User ID, you must be able to generate your own unique IDs, consistently assign IDs to users, and include these IDs wherever you send data to Analytics. For example, you could send the unique IDs generated by your own authentication system to Analytics as values for the User ID. Any engagement, like link clicks and page or screen navigation, that happen while a unique ID is assigned can be sent and connected in Analytics via the User ID.

  1. In Multi-Channel Funnel Reports, how are default conversions credited?
A

Equal credit along the conversion touchpoints

Explanation:

The Multi-Channel Funnels reports are generated from conversion paths, the sequences of interactions (i.e., clicks/referrals from channels) that led up to each conversion and transaction. In the reports, channels are credited according to the roles they play in conversions—how often they assisted and/or completed sales and conversions. Conversion path data include interactions with virtually all digital channels.

Q
  1. What data is Google Analytics Goals unable to track?
A

Note that Customer lifetime value is not considered as Goal in Google Analytics. After all, it’s not an interaction.

You can set up to 20 Goals per reporting view. If you need to tack more goals, you can create an additional view for that property.

Q
  1. What is not considered a “source” in Google Analytics by default?
A

Email

Explanation:

“Email” is not considered as a source in Google Analytics. “Email” comes under the “Medium”.

In Google Analytics, “Source” is the origin of your traffic. For example, search engines, referral websites (domains). Note the difference between sources and mediums. Mediums are categories of the sources, for example, organic search (organic), cost-per-click paid search (cpc), web referral (referral).

So, in this case, email is not a source in Google Analytics.

Analyzing your website traffic sources can help marketers understand how well campaigns are working and how to optimize website content, advertising, and other marketing channels.

  1. What criteria could not be used to create a Dynamic Remarketing audience?
A

-> Users who returned an item they purchased

Users who viewed product detail pages

Users who viewed your homepage

Q
  1. What does assigning a value to a Google Analytics Goal enable?
A

Compare goal conversions and measure changes to a website

Explanation:

Although assigning a goal value is optional, we recommend you do so to help monetize and evaluate your conversions.

In Google Analytics, Goals measure how well your site fulfills objectives. So, defining goals is a core step in analyzing and optimizing your website. Having properly configured goals allows Analytics to provide you with critical information, such as the number of conversions and the conversion rate for your site or app. If you enable goals, you can set values and compare metrics. Goial values let you evaluate your website’s performance.

Tip: It’s important to understand that knowing how much traffic you get is not crucial. Much more important to understand what value your traffic creates for your business. This is where Goals in Analytics can help.

  1. When does a default Analytics session expire?
A

When a user is inactive on a web page for more than 30 minutes

Explanation:

In Google Analytics, session is the period of time a user is active on your site. Note, that by default, if a user is inactive for 30 minutes or more, any future activity is attributed to a new session. However, you can adjust this setting. Users that leave your site and return within the expiration time limit are counted as part of the original session.

Sessions and campaigns end after a specific amount of time passes. By default, sessions end after 30 minutes of inactivity and campaigns end after six months. You can change the settings so sessions and campaigns end after the specified amount of time has passed.

  1. Where should the Analytics tracking code be placed in the HTML of a webpage for data collection?
A

Just before the closing tag

OR

Just before the closing tag of your website

Explanation:

You just need to paste the entire snippet into the HTML on your web pages, just before the closing tag.

This is a confusing question. Please note that the correct answer is “Just before the closing tag” at the current version of Google Analytics Individual Qualification Exam in English. We will update this file if/when it changes. Note that in Google Analytics Academy assessments a correct answer is different to the same question -Just after the opening tag. Moreover, if you take GAIQ exam in French the correct answer is also “Just after the opening tag”.

In both scenarios GA code will be render blocking and will slow down your website. The best solution is to host analytics locally and put tracking code in the footer.

Q
  1. What metric-dimension combination is not valid?
A

Sessions / Bounce rate

Explanation:

In Google Analytics, every website visitor has a corresponding source and medium. For example, google/organic, example.com/referral, and newsletter1/email. Source and Medium are default source dimensions in Google Analytics.

Tip: Don’t confuse sources with mediums as it often happens. Source is the origin of your traffic. While Medium is a category of a traffic source.

Q
  1. Which reports indicate how traffic arrived at a website?
A

All traffic

Explanation:

All the websites that send traffic to your website come under “Referrals” in Google Analytics. You can reach to “Referrals” through “All Traffic” under “Acquisition” tab.

Understanding how users arrive at your website or application is very important. In Google Analytics, the PPC campaigns, search engine, social media, and other sources that send users to your website are known as traffic sources. You can analyze your traffic sources and see associated data in All Traffic reports.

The All traffic report is one of the most important reports in Google Analytics. However, even your main traffic sources will vary depending on the type of website you own, a healthy site will have a good balance of traffic from all four sources.

You never want to have all your eggs in one basket. Depending on only one traffic source, like PPC or social media, is increasing risks for your online business.

63
Q
  1. When the same default tracking code is installed on pages with different domains, what will result?
A

Analytics will associate users and sessions with their respective domains

Explanation:

One of the first things you should know about when using and configuring Analytics is how the domain of the web property you are tracking is defined as a “site” for the purposes of viewing your reports. The default setup of the tracking code is designed to make it easy for you to track traffic to a single domain or subdomain (e.g. a single website URL) that does not share user data with other domains or sub-domains.

For example, if your pet store URL is dogs.example.com and you install the tracking code with its web property ID on those pages, tracking is automatically set up to track user data only for this single URL. In a similar way, if you own the primary domain, such as www.example.com, and you install tracking for all pages on this site, user and referral traffic is recorded separately for www.example.com.

A

Pair metrics and dimensions of different scopes

Explanation:

Pairing metrics and dimensions of different scopes is not possible in any report.

In Google Analytics, each dimension and metric has a scope. In most cases, you want only to combine the dimensions and metrics of the same scope. Also, it’s important to understand the difference between metrics and dimensions. While a dimension is characteristic of an object that can be given different values, or in other words “describes data”, a metric “measures data”. A metric is an element of dimension measures in numbers, as a sum or ratio.

Q
  1. What is not a benefit of using segments to analyze data?
A

Permanently modify the data in a view

Explanation:

A segment is a subset of your Analytics data. Segments let you isolate and analyze those subsets of data so you can examine and respond to the component trends in your business. You can also use segments as the basis for audiences. A segment is made up of one or more non-destructive filters (filters that do not alter the underlying data). Those filters isolate subsets of users, sessions, and hit.

Analytics will set a new browser cookie the next time a browser loads a tracked page

Explanation:

It’s important to understand that Google Analytics doesn’t track users or people. It tracks browsers. Google Analytics uses cookies to track visitors and collect data.
