Below is a web analysis for my website CM Marketing and Design.
We used key metrics from our google analytics page which included User Acquisition, Page Views & Unique Page Views, Demographic Details. All of these metrics are important because they help us strategize by helping us engage and keep the right audience.
- User acuqisiontion – First user source / medium
- Explain why you use “First user source / medium”
- Explain why you use the following metrics: Average engagement time, New users, ‘Engaged sessions per active user ‘
- Add an image (First user source / medium) that you capture from your screen as you can see below
User Acquisition – First user source / medium
- User Acquisition and first user source/medium is important because this shows use the amount of new users who visit the website through sources.
- It is important to use the metrics ‘Average engagement time, New users, Engaged sessions per active user.’
- Average Engagement Time
- This shows how interested and engaged people and potential employers are with your content you post. A higher average engagement time indicates you are effectively maintaining interest of your target audience.
- New Users
- This shows if your strategies like LinkedIn promotions and emails are effective in bringing in new viewers. When there is a steady increase of new users it means your posts are connecting with a wide audience.
- Engaged Sessions Per Active User
- This shows the amount of sessions a user is visiting your website. A higher number typically means they visit your website multiple different times.
- Average Engagement Time
Using Chat GPT, I ended up using the same prompt for every single one, but I changed a few words to make sure it was with the correct data.
Average Engagement Time Prompt: “When I sorted the average engagement time in descending order in the First user source/medium classification, the following result came out. Please explain. – direct / none 57sec google / cpc 0 sec linkedin.com / referral 24sec”
Result:
The data shows the average engagement time per session for different traffic sources:
- direct / none (57 sec): Visitors who came directly to the site (e.g., typed the URL or had it bookmarked) spent an average of 57 seconds on the site.
- google / cpc (0 sec): Visitors who came from Google Ads (CPC) had an average engagement time of 0 seconds, which could indicate that they bounced immediately after landing or the tracking didn’t register properly.
- linkedin.com / referral (24 sec): Visitors who came from LinkedIn as a referral spent an average of 24 seconds on the site.
The large difference in engagement time suggests that direct visitors are more engaged, while Google Ads traffic and LinkedIn referrals may be less engaging or have tracking issues.
New Users Prompt: “When I sorted the new users time in descending order in the First user source/medium classification, the following result came out. Please explain. direct / none 112 google / cpc 12 linkedin.com / referral 2“

- linkedin.com / referral (2): New users coming from LinkedIn spent just 2 seconds on the site, which likely means they either left very quickly or the traffic quality was low.
Overall, direct traffic seems to drive more engaged new users, while Google Ads and LinkedIn referrals have lower engagement times.
