Meet the Players

Our session is led by Brett Harelson and features the incredible Dorene from Wix, who has been with the company for over seven years. Doren’s expertise in data analysis and product management shines through as she guides us through the myriad possibilities of Wix Analytics. She's passionate about helping users, just like you, make the most of data, enabling them—and you— to cater better to your audience and craft strategies that really move the needle.

What to Expect from Wix Analytics

If you're unfamiliar, Wix Analytics is a treasure trove of features designed to provide users with insights into their website performance. The primary focus? Empowering you to make quality data-driven decisions to run a successful business or community. Sounds like a dream, right? Let's break down what you can expect:

A Quick Overview

Wix Analytics rolls out the red carpet with a sleek dashboard filled with customizable widgets and near real-time data. This means you can see key performance indicators (KPIs) and trend lines that help guide your business decisions. You can even tailor which KPIs matter most to your journey from an extensive and ever-growing list. All these juicy insights aren't just limited to your desktop—they're coming soon to mobile, too, so you can stay clued in on the go.

Getting Deeper with Reports

Fancy a deeper dive? You’ll love the 28 ready-made reports across various categories like sales, traffic, behavior, and people. These reports aren’t just about looking pretty—they’re designed to help you truly understand what’s happening on your site. You can slice and dice these reports using advanced features, filtering data by specific dimensions or customizing them further for insights unique to you. It's like being the Sherlock Holmes of analytics!

Action Steps with Your Data

You don’t just sit with all this information. Wix Analytics lets you take action! Download reports in multiple formats, subscribe to reports for regular updates, or let the new alerts feature keep you active without lifting a finger. The alerts deliver notifications straight to your inbox whenever significant changes occur. This is pure gold—allowing you to adapt quickly and effectively to changes in your business landscape.

Turning Data Into Insights

Now, let’s get to the heart of turning your data into actionable insights. Imagine you're running an office furniture store recently launched online. By diving into your analytics, you can answer pivotal questions: Who is my audience? What drives traffic? Where are my visitors coming from?

Understand Your Traffic

Analytics enables you to see which referrals are driving traffic—whether it's direct, via social media, or through SEO. Plus, you get the ability to pinpoint where your visitors are located and when they're most active. This kind of intel allows you to tailor your strategies uniquely to your audience's behavior.

Know Your Customers

Beyond traffic, know who your paying customers are. You might find that certain regions convert better, or that repeat purchases offer untapped potential. These insights allow you to focus on what matters most: retaining satisfied customers and nudging onetime buyers toward loyalty with personalized offers.

Monitor Trends and Improve

User trends can change and understanding these shifts can make all the difference. With Wix, you can monitor these trends, identify seasonality effects, and adjust your marketing strategies accordingly. It solves the mystery of your business highs and lows and puts you in the driver’s seat.

Sneak Peek into the Future

The future of Wix Analytics is dazzling! Upcoming features include more detailed reports on campaigns, conversions, and specific Wix apps like blogs and events. They’re even planning on manual alerts that let you customize the metrics you want to keep tabs on. Exciting times!
