Tracking storefront searches using Google Analytics
Google Analytics Site Search
The Site Search feature in the Google Analytics system allows you to track what your store visitors are searching for when using the search feature that's built into ProductCart.
Configuring Site Search
In order to configure Site Search so that it tracks relevant queries on your ProductCart-powered store:
- See this article for general information on how to configure Site Search
- Use the following parameters/selections:
- Do Track Site Search: selected
- Query Parameter: enter: “keyword”
If you are also using a Google site search engine on your Web site, then a “q” should also appear in the query parameters (so the field should read “q,keyword”). - No, do not strip query parameters out of URL: selected
- Do you use categories for site search?: Yes
- Category Parameter: “idcategory”
- No, do not strip category parameters out of URL: selected
Here is a visual example of how the page should be setup:
Trace: • Adding a CANNOT rule • Manage Gift Certificates • Recently Viewed Products Widget • Managing Custom Fields on Multiple Products • Displaying Additional Product Views of the Same Height • Showing different content based on the customer type • System Requirements | eBay Add-on for ProductCart • Appendix A - Current Feature List • What can I do with the eBay Add-on? • Tracking storefront searches using Google Analytics
