Setting up end-to-end analytics

End-to-end analytics is an assessment of the effectiveness of advertising spending in money (a method for analyzing and evaluating an advertising campaign in terms of the costs of its creation and the income that it is potentially able to bring).

The correct setting of end-to-end analytics allows you to understand how much profit the company will receive, whether it will incur any losses in the future period or start to aggressively increase its sales, what are the most effective and failed customer acquisition channels involved, due to which it becomes possible to optimize the investment in the advertising campaign.

How is end-to-end analytics different from goal setting in Google Analytics?

The main differences between setting up end-to-end analytics in Google Analytics from the standard setting of goals are:

1. Identification of selling traffic channels – Google Analytics automatically assigns a transaction to the channel with which the user interacted last (for example, when he first visited the site from PPC, and then from search results, and only then made a purchase, the transaction will be recorded from the channel “Free search traffic”, which is not entirely correct);
2. With the standard goal setting, only completed transactions are recorded – Google Analytics takes into account only the requests left on the site, and not the actual sale itself (for example, you launched a targeted ad on Facebook and shopping ads in Google search results – 100 requests were received for the first campaign, 50 for the second. At first glance, Facebook worked better, but in fact closed transactions in the first case were 10, and in the second – 40, which allows you to draw conclusions and spend the budget more efficiently);
3. The ability to see the amount of expenses for each advertising channel – it may turn out that the channel that brings the largest number of sales is the most expensive and, as a result, unprofitable, and the channels that bring fewer transactions are the most profitable for the company, but marketers are with them work little and not so effectively. You can find out by setting end-to-end analytics. If you set only the goals themselves, you will see the number of requests from each channel without detailing the costs for it and without understanding whether the order was received and for what amount from this request.
