In July 2024, Universal Analytics will cease operations permanently, as announced by Google. This change will impact all users who have not yet migrated to Google Analytics 4, the next generation of data analytics tools from Google. Understand what this means for you and how to prepare.

What’s Happening?

Google is sunsetting Universal Analytics properties starting July 1, 2024. After this date, all accounts will need to use Google Analytics 4, which is designed to provide more integrated and user-centric insights without compromising privacy.

Impact on Existing Accounts

As propriedades do Universal Analytics não estarão mais acessíveis através do frontend do Google Analytics nem das APIs. Isso significa que você não poderá mais visualizar ou coletar dados utilizando a versão antiga do Analytics. A mudança afeta todas as integrações e o acesso a dados antigos, incluindo relatórios e metas configuradas.

Ações recomendadas

Universal Analytics properties will no longer be accessible through the Google Analytics frontend or APIs. This means you will no longer be able to view or collect data using the old version of Analytics. The change affects all integrations and access to historical data, including reports and configured goals.

Recommended Actions

It is crucial to start exporting your historical data as soon as possible to avoid losing valuable information. Google provides support for exporting data to BigQuery, especially for Universal Analytics 360 users, but these processes will also have tight deadlines until June 2024.

Next Steps for Migration

To continue using Analytics without interruption, it is recommended to start migrating to Google Analytics 4 immediately. This new system not only continues to offer in-depth analysis but is also adapted to handle future privacy and data integration challenges.

Optimizing your site for search engines is essential to attract more visitors and boost your online business. Google Analytics and Google Search Console are powerful tools that provide valuable information about user behavior and your site’s performance in searches.

What is Site Kit?

Site Kit is an official Google plugin for WordPress that simplifies setting up Google Analytics and Google Search Console on your website. With Site Kit, you can:

  • Connect your site to Google Analytics and Google Search Console with just a few clicks.
  • View important data from both tools on a single dashboard.
  • Gain valuable insights into your site’s traffic, user behavior, and search performance.

How to install Site Kit?

Setting up Site Kit is quick and straightforward:

Access the administration panel of your WordPress site.


Go to Plugins > Add New Plugin.


Search for Site Kit and install the plugin.


Activate the plugin.

How to install Google Search Console with Site Kit?

To continue the installation, just follow the activation screens that appear after activation.

If for some reason you exited this screen, just search for “Site Kit” in the right navigation bar and go to “Dashboard”.

On the initial setup screen, select the option to “Connect Google Analytics as part of your setup” and click on “Sign in with Google” to link your Google account.


Select your Google account.


Confirm the plugin service login.


Confirm once again the plugin’s access to your Google account.


Now Google will verify site ownership by installing a code. For this, you need to give access to the Plugin again.

Click on “Verify”.


Advance through the screens, granting all the permissions that the plugin requests.

Click on “Allow


Next, to configure the Search Console, click on “Set up”.


The plugin will proceed to setting up Google Analytics.

Click on “Next”.

Setting Up Google Analytics with Site Kit

The following step involves setting up Google Analytics. We’ll grant the Plugin access to your Google account again and follow the steps just like before:

In the “Account” selection box, select the option “Create New Account“.

If you already have an account for this site, you just need to select that account from the list that appears and follow the guidelines.


Confirm the account creation data. The first three options can be left as they come.

  • Account: The name of the account (usually the name of the website).
  • Property: the name of the property in Analytics.
  • Web data stream: the name of the web data stream in Analytics.

Confirm the country and the reference timezone of the site, and if everything is correct, click on “Create Account”.

You can leave “Activate enhanced measurement” on.


Now let’s confirm your Google account in the same way we did for the Search Console setup.


Almost done. Now, you just need to agree to Google’s “terms of service”.

Select the box “I also accept the Data Processing Terms as required by GDPR” and click on “Accept“.


Congratulations! Your Google Analytics is now set up!

Click on “Go to my Dashboard” to return to your WordPress!


Your dashboard is now ready!

It may take a few days for you to start seeing data collected by the tools.

By setting up Google Analytics and Google Search Console on your WordPress site using Site Kit, you’ve taken a significant step towards optimizing your site and enhancing your online presence. These integrated tools equip you to gather accurate data on visitor behavior and your site’s search performance, essential for informed decision-making regarding content strategies and SEO.

Did you know that 75% of Google users never go past the first page of search results?

This means that if your site isn’t well-positioned on Google, you’re missing out on a significant opportunity to reach new customers and increase traffic to your business.

In this article, we’ll show you how to find out which page of Google your site appears on and give you valuable tips to improve your positioning and increase your online visibility.

The first thing you need to know is that simply typing a keyword related to your site into Google’s search bar may not give you an accurate view of your real position. This happens because browsers personalize search results based on user browsing habits, showing a distorted version of reality.

Set Up the Necessary Tool

First and foremost, you need to have a Google account. With it, you can access a variety of useful services, including the Search Console.

  • Focus: Performance of the site in Google search results
  • Objective: Monitor the site’s performance in Google Search and identify optimization areas
  • Metrics:
    • Clicks
    • Impressions
    • Click-through rate (CTR)
    • Average search position

Monitoring and Analysis

After the initial setup, give the tools a few days to start collecting data. Soon, you can analyze how users find and interact with your site.

In Google Search Console:

Access the Search Console dashboard and select your site.


On the side panel, locate and click on “Performance.” This section is where you will find complete details on how your site is performing in searches.


Make sure to set the date range at the top of the chart to the period you want to analyze. This will help you understand how your site has performed over time.


Ensure you select the “Average position” box in the frames located exactly above the chart.


Queries and Positions

In the results section, observe the “Queries” that lead users to your site. Here, you can identify the keywords for which your site is being found.

For each query, you can see the average position, indicating, on average, where on Google your site appears for that specific keyword.

The average position is a good indicator of which page of Google your site appears on, considering that each page of Google generally shows 10 results.


Pages

Switching to the “Pages” tab, you can see the specific performance of different pages on your site.

By selecting a specific page, you can filter the queries to see which keywords that page is being ranked for and what the average position for those queries is.

With the information provided by Google Search Console, it’s possible to understand the average position of specific pages for specific queries. It’s important to recognize that your site does not have an absolute position in search results; instead, each page of your site is ranked by Google for specific keywords based on perceived relevance and authority. This ranking results in an average position that indicates, on average, where your page appears in the search results for those queries.

Given that each page of Google’s results generally displays 10 results (excluding ads and featured snippets), an average position of 1 to 10 means your page is, on average, appearing on the first page of results. Similarly, an average position of 11 to 20 indicates that your page is on the second page, and so on. This metric is crucial for understanding not only how your content is performing but also for identifying SEO optimization opportunities to improve the visibility and reach of your site in the digital ecosystem.

Conclusion

Understanding your site’s position in Google search results is essential for optimizing your SEO strategy and improving your business’s online visibility. Using Google Search Console, you gain valuable insights into the average position of your pages for specific queries, allowing you to direct optimization efforts where they’re most needed. Remember, achieving the first page of Google can mean a substantial difference in the amount of traffic your site receives, as most users tend to focus on the first results presented. With a clear understanding of how your pages are positioned and a continuous strategy of improvement and optimization, you can significantly increase the chance of your site being found by a broader audience, boosting traffic, and ultimately contributing to the success of your online business.

The success of your website depends on your ability to understand and meet the needs of your target audience. Data analysis is key to this.

By analyzing your website data, you can gain valuable insights into your visitors’ behavior, what works and what doesn’t in your content, and how you can optimize your website to achieve your goals.

Data analysis tools like Google Analytics offer a variety of features to help you:

  • Track your website traffic: Where do your visitors come from? What pages do they visit? How long do they spend on each page?
  • Understand your target audience’s behavior: What are your visitors’ interests? What devices do they use to access your website?
  • Optimize your content: What type of content performs best? How can you improve the quality of your content?
  • Make smarter decisions: Based on the data, you can make more informed decisions about marketing, design, and development of your website.

What is Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a free and powerful tool that helps you understand how visitors interact with your website. It provides detailed data about your site’s traffic, audience behavior, and conversions.

Google Analytics works by collecting data from your website. This data is then sent to Google’s servers, where it is processed and stored. You can access this data through the Google Analytics interface, where you can view pre-created reports and dashboards or create your own.

For more information on how to set up and use Google Analytics, check out the following articles from our blog:

Tracking Your Website Traffic

Google Analytics provides various tools to help you track your website traffic. By analyzing these metrics, you can better understand how visitors are finding your site and which pages they are visiting.

Traffic Metrics:

  • Users: The number of people who visited your site during a specific period.
  • Sessions: A series of interactions that a user makes on your site within a given timeframe.
  • Pageviews: The number of times a page on your site was viewed.
  • Average Time on Page: The average amount of time users spent on each page of your site.
  • Bounce Rate: The percentage of users who leave your site after viewing only one page.

Traffic Sources:

  • Direct Traffic: Visitors who accessed your site directly by typing the URL into their browser or clicking on a bookmark.
  • Search Traffic: Visitors who arrived at your site through a search engine like Google or Bing.
  • Referral Traffic: Visitors who arrived at your site through a link on another site.
  • Social Traffic: Visitors who arrived at your site through a social network like Facebook or Twitter.
  • Email Traffic: Visitors who arrived at your site by clicking on a link in an email.

Tips for Identifying Traffic Sources:

  • Use the “Source/Medium” report in Google Analytics.
  • Analyze the keywords that visitors used to find your site.
  • See which websites are referring traffic to your site.
  • Track the traffic from your marketing campaigns.

By analyzing your site’s traffic, you can identify which sources are generating the most visitors and optimize your marketing campaigns to achieve your goals.

Optimizing Your Content for Better Results

Google Analytics provides valuable data that can help you optimize your content for better results. By analyzing this data, you can identify what works and what doesn’t on your site and make smarter decisions about the type of content you should create.

Using Analytics data to identify what works and what doesn’t:

  • Behavior Report: Analyze which pages on your site perform best (highest time on page, lowest bounce rate).
  • Conversions Report: Identify which pages on your site are generating the most conversions (sales, leads, etc.).
  • Heatmap Report: See how visitors interact with your content (where they click, scroll, etc.).

Tips for Improving the Quality of Your Content:

  • Create relevant and useful content for your target audience. Content that meets the needs and interests of your visitors is more likely to engage and retain them.
  • Use clear and concise language. Make your content easy to understand to ensure it is accessible to a broad audience.
  • Organize your content in a structured and easy-to-read format. Use headings, bullet points, and short paragraphs to break up text and make it more digestible.
  • Include images, videos, and other visual elements. Visual aids can complement your text, breaking up content and making it more engaging for your visitors.
  • Promote your content on social media and other channels. Increasing the visibility of your content can drive more traffic to your site and improve your results.

Tips for Increasing User Engagement Time:

  • Produce high-quality content that captivates your audience. Content that is informative, entertaining, or both encourages visitors to spend more time on your site.
  • Break your content into smaller, manageable sections. This makes it easier for readers to consume and can keep them engaged for longer.
  • Include calls to action that encourage users to explore other pages on your site. Guiding visitors to related content or important pages can increase their time spent on your site.

Tips for Reducing Bounce Rate:

  • Craft compelling titles and meta descriptions that encourage users to click through to your site. Your title and description should accurately reflect the content of the page and entice users to visit.
  • Improve your site’s loading speed. A faster site provides a better user experience and can help reduce bounce rates.
  • Ensure a good navigation experience on mobile devices. With an increasing number of users accessing sites via mobile, a responsive design is essential for keeping them engaged.

Ready to Transform Your Site with Google Analytics?

Throughout this article, we’ve explored how Google Analytics can help you make smarter decisions about your website.

We’ve seen how to use analytics tools to:

  • Track your site’s traffic: Where do your visitors come from? What pages do they visit? How long do they spend on each page?
  • Understand your target audience’s behavior: What are your visitors’ interests? What devices do they use to access your site?
  • Optimize your content: What type of content performs best? How can you improve the quality of your content?

Google Analytics is a powerful tool that can help you achieve your online goals. By analyzing analytics data, you can make more informed decisions about marketing, design, and development of your site.

In the dynamic world of online advertising, Google Ads stands out as an indispensable tool for businesses of all sizes, enabling brands to reach their target audience with precision and efficiency. However, as the platform evolves, so do the options and functionalities available to advertisers, making it essential to choose the right operating mode that aligns with the specific needs and objectives of each company.

Google Ads offers two distinct operating modes: Smart Mode and Expert Mode, each designed to meet different levels of skill and campaign requirements. In this article, we will explore the nuances of these modes, helping you to understand their features, advantages, and how each can maximize the potential of your advertising campaigns.

Smart vs. Expert

When choosing between Google Ads’ Smart Mode and Expert Mode, advertisers face a decision between simplicity and automated control versus advanced functionalities and detailed management.

Smart Mode

  • Simplified interface focused on goals and results.
  • Quick and easy campaign creation.
  • Google automates most of the campaign management.
  • Ideal for beginners or those looking for a simplified experience.

Recommended for:

  • Beginners
  • Small businesses
  • Advertisers seeking a simplified experience
  • Advertisers with smaller budgets

Expert Mode

  • Greater control and flexibility over campaigns.
  • Access to all types of campaigns.
  • Allows advanced configurations and optimizations.
  • Requires more knowledge and experience in campaign management.

Recommended for:

  • Experienced advertisers
  • Advertisers with larger budgets
  • Advertisers wanting total control over their campaigns
  • Advertisers wanting to use advanced features

How to Switch from Smart Mode to Expert Mode

For those looking to expand their marketing skills and tools in Google Ads, transitioning from Smart Mode to Expert Mode is a natural step. This change is designed to unlock a broader range of features and provide more granular control over your advertising campaigns.

If you started with Smart Mode to familiarize yourself with the basics of Google Ads and are now ready to take advantage of all the functionalities available, follow this step-by-step guide:

  1. Current Mode Check: When you log into your Google Ads account, look at the icon in the upper right corner. If it only shows the “Settings” option, you are operating in Smart Mode; if the name is “Tools and Settings,” you are already in Expert Mode.
  2. Switch to Expert Mode: Click on the “Settings” icon and look for an option titled “Switch to Expert Mode.”
  3. Confirmation and Transition: When selecting this option, you may need to confirm your decision. Proceed with the change, being aware that, once in Expert Mode, the path back to Smart Mode is no longer available.
  4. Exploration of New Possibilities: With the transition complete, a world of possibilities opens up. You can create and manage diverse campaigns, such as search, display, video, Shopping, and app campaigns, with a variety of segmentation and bidding options.

Conclusion

The choice between Smart Mode and Expert Mode in Google Ads is not just about a preference for simplicity or control; it’s about aligning your digital marketing tools with the goals and maturity of your business strategy. While Smart Mode represents an accessible entry point for new advertisers, providing a simplified experience and AI-facilitated management, Expert Mode is the leap to a deeper and more customizable domain of online advertising campaigns.

By opting for Expert Mode, you commit to continuous learning and detailed exploration of the resources that Google Ads has to offer. It is a powerful choice that, while closing the door back to the simpler mode, opens numerous windows for the growth and sophistication of your digital marketing strategies.

Remember, moving to Expert Mode is a one-way path, but it is also a journey towards greater advertising effectiveness. Whichever mode you choose, Google Ads is a dynamic and powerful tool, designed to drive the success of your business in today’s vast and competitive digital marketplace.

Bard arrives to innovate and transform the user experience, but unfortunately, it’s not for everyone yet. Discover what’s stirring up the market abroad and hope that it soon becomes available in more countries!

Google is taking the first steps to open access to Bard, an innovative experiment that allows collaboration with generative artificial intelligence. For now, only the United States and the United Kingdom have access to this novelty, but plans for expansion to other countries and languages are already underway. So, if you’re eager to learn more about this novelty and how it can impact the way we work and communicate, keep reading!

On March 21st, Google began opening access to Bard. This launch follows the announcements from the previous week, as the company continues to bring useful AI experiences to people, businesses, and communities. For now, the company considers Bard as an “experiment” and not a replacement for traditional searches. Google admits that the system can still provide inaccurate information, which demonstrates the importance of improving this technology through user feedback.

About Bard: It Can Make Mistakes

Bard is powered by a large-scale language model (LLM), specifically an optimized and lightweight version of LaMDA, and will be updated with more advanced models over time. An LLM can be thought of as a prediction engine. Given a prompt, it generates a response by selecting, word by word, those that are likely to come next. Choosing the most likely option each time would not lead to very creative responses, so there is some built-in flexibility. The more people use them, the better LLMs become at predicting useful responses.

However, LLMs also have their flaws. For example, they learn from a broad spectrum of information that reflects real-world biases and stereotypes, which sometimes appear in their responses. Furthermore, they can provide inaccurate, misleading, or false information with confidence. As with other chatbots, prolonged interactions can lead to the emergence of “extreme personalities.” To deal with this, Google has opted to restrict the amount of consecutive interactions that can be had with Bard. After a certain period, the chatbot forgets the previous interaction and starts a new conversation.

When using Bard, you will usually have the option to choose between different response drafts, allowing you to select the best starting point. You can continue collaborating with Bard, asking follow-up questions and requesting alternatives if desired.

Google plans for Bard to function as a direct interface to a large-scale language model (LLM) and be complementary to the Google Search experience. The idea is that with Bard, users can easily check answers generated in Google Search or research information from various sources on the internet. By clicking on “Search with Google,” search suggestions will be displayed, and Search will open in a new tab, allowing you to find relevant results and explore the topic further.

Here’s a demonstration of Google Bard in action (video)

Artificial intelligence has been a growing topic of interest in the technology world, and Google is gearing up to compete with OpenAI and its phenomenon, ChatGPT. Competitors like Microsoft are already integrating conversational experiences into their search engines (Bing). While having developed the technological basis for these language models, Google has been more cautious in implementing and making these tools publicly available.

Although Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, has denied that new-generation chatbots pose a threat to the search engine, the truth is that integrating these technologies has the potential to transform the way we interact with the internet and seek information. At the same time, Google faces challenges related to assessing the quality of responses generated by Bard and the possible impacts on user experience.

In this context, it is crucial to follow Google’s advancements in artificial intelligence and how the company plans to tackle the challenges and explore the opportunities brought by this technology. The coming weeks should bring more information about the plans of the Mountain View giant and its strategy to stay ahead of the competition in the field of conversational AI.
