To execute a successful online marketing strategy, marketers require information about their visitors' online behaviour. Web Analytics software delivers this crucial information to ensure that you can optimise your visitors' online experience with relevant and targeted content.
Closing the loop
Integrating Web Content Management with Web Analytics closes the loop for marketers as they strive to create, manage, monitor, improve and optimise their online communication. The integration of these two systems enables organisation to provide content that matches visitor needs and to create increasingly targeted content. Using this integrated approach, Web site visitor behaviour can be used to define which content is displayed and can provide valuable information about which content is most relevant to visitors. This allows marketing professionals to continually improve and optimise content, pages, marketing activities and Web site offerings to connect with their target audiences.
Web analytics enablers
To combine the strengths of Web Content Management and Web Analytics, SDL now offers Web Analytics Enablers. In brief, a Web Analytics Enabler is tagging code that can be added to any SDL Tridion page template, allowing you to immediately monitor visitor behaviour on your Web site. By selecting the Web Analytics Enabler that matches your existing Web Analytics application, you can integrate your existing Web Analytics with Web Content Management.
