Use Filters to Manage IP Exclusions and Bot Traffic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Filter settings help keep data quality at its best for Analytics 360 users. They manage things such as IP address exclusions or bot traffic identifiers. With many or most employees now working from home, it\u2019s likely your website is getting more internal traffic from workers using the corporate VPN. You can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/analytics\/answer\/1034840?hl=en\">expand the filters to exclude this kind of IP traffic<\/a>&nbsp;from your main reporting views. The native Analytics 360 bot filter is also effective, and this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardinalpath.com\/how-to-keep-referral-spam-and-bots-out-of-your-analytics-data\/\">article<\/a>&nbsp;gives additional guidance on filtering out broader spam traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/120ip-filter.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"Exclude work-from-home employee IP addresses in Google Analytics view settings.\">  &nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exclude work-from-home employee IP addresses in Google Analytics view settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-update-campaign-tags-to-track-new-marketing-efforts\">2. Update Campaign Tags to Track New Marketing Efforts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Campaign tagging is necessary to ensure you get credit for the traffic and actions you drive to your website. By updating digital ad click-through URLs in an organised way, you can accurately attribute web traffic and subsequent conversions to the proper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/resources\/articles\/digital-marketing\/\">digital marketing<\/a> channels like display, paid search and social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A strong campaign tagging approach combined with a sound taxonomy process will ensure objectivity across all media and all agencies. It will also enable you to optimise against trustworthy data. To create a robust and scalable taxonomy, keep these steps in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> Take inventory of all current and anticipated future marketing channels, platforms, and sources. <\/li><li> Consult with internal and external stakeholders responsible for these channels and platforms to understand boundaries and establish an appropriate rollup structure. <\/li><li> Document the taxonomy and make it accessible for all stakeholders via a shared doc. <\/li><li> Create a campaign design and deployment workflow that includes control points and responsible parties to incorporate tagging taxonomy at the design phase.&nbsp; <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/2-campaigns.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"Use auto-tagging options and individually tagged URLs. Take advantage of campaign tracking to identify specific marketing initiatives, and consolidate medium and source values.\">  &nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use auto-tagging options and individually tagged URLs. Take advantage of campaign tracking to identify specific marketing initiatives, and consolidate medium and source values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-note-key-data-shifts-with-annotations\">3. Note Key Data Shifts With Annotations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Annotate updates to any settings, as well as big shifts in web traffic. This will help you account for when various spikes \u2013 such as the date all of your employees began working from home \u2013 change the presentation of the data. Annotations are also important for users to reference when communicating how data shifts month-over-month or year-over-year. Other possible annotations you may want to make right now include the date or dates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> COVID-19 related products, services or discounts were introduced <\/li><li> Filters were applied <\/li><li> Campaign tags were updated <\/li><li> Site or app changes were introduced <\/li><li> Privacy-related changes were introduced <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/3-annotation.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"In your main reporting view, annotate key dates or occurrences that can cause big shifts in data.\">  &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> In your main reporting view, annotate key dates or occurrences that can cause big shifts in data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-market-to-new-buyer-profiles-with-audiences\">4. Market to New Buyer Profiles With Audiences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An effective way to respond to customer needs, based on web behaviour, is to create groups in Analytics 360, called Audiences, based on conditions and combinations that are significant to your business. For example, you can create an Audience of new visitors who came to your site from a branded paid search campaign, browsed your newly launched home delivery service, but didn\u2019t make a purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/4-audience.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"Configure and share Analytics 360 Audiences to reach likely converters on Google Marketing Platform (and Salesforce Marketing Cloud).\">  &nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Configure and share Analytics 360 Audiences to reach likely converters on Google Marketing Platform (and Salesforce Marketing Cloud). You can pass the example above and other custom audiences into Salesforce Marketing Cloud, where you can create personalised journeys that meet customers where they are with sensitive and helpful information. You can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/analytics\/answer\/2611404?hl=en\">set up and adjust Audiences<\/a>&nbsp;and Journeys quickly, based on real-time information. You can also share these Audiences with Google Ads and Display and Video 360 for retargeting campaigns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/5-ga-360-journey.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"Inform your campaigns using Analytics 360 data in your Journey Builder dashboard.\">  &nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inform your campaigns using Analytics 360 data in your Journey Builder dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-empower-decision-makers-with-reports-and-dashboards\">5. Empower Decision Makers With Reports and Dashboards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketing professionals are being bombarded with requests for data to inform key decisions during COVID-19. You can use native Analytics 360 reporting capabilities as well as reports and dashboards in Google Data Studio to quickly create and share performance data that represents the adjustments covered in this blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take this one step further by layering your Analytics 360 data onto an external data set such as the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tableau.com\/covid-19-coronavirus-data-resources\">Tableau COVID-19 Data Hub<\/a>&nbsp;to track the pandemic against your web data. Whether you are in a global, national or regional organisation, you can correlate the confirmed case trends against your own data for specific areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, say your business sells furniture at brick and mortar retail locations. By combining the COVID-19 data linked above with data in your Google Analytics instance using the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/analytics\/answer\/3191589?hl=en\">Data Import function<\/a>, you can view the confirmed cases against the store searches or site visits for that location and identify correlations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-avoid-capturing-customers-personal-information\">6. Avoid Capturing Customers\u2019 Personal Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Privacy should always be paramount, and it\u2019s important that you are careful not to capture personal information in Analytics 360. We recently uncovered exposures for a Fortune 500 company that passed Personally Identifiable Information (PII) through URL parameters (lname=jones) and in Events or in Custom Dimensions (capturing email addresses upon registration).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid a similar mistake, install a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/analytics\/answer\/6366371?hl=en\">PII trap in Google Tag Manager<\/a>&nbsp;to ensure this information doesn\u2019t come through. You can also create robust governance to ensure coordination among teams, including dev teams and marketing teams, and use a data quality platform such as ObservePoint or DataTrue to implement continuous monitoring. Many enterprise IT departments license a quality assurance tool, so it\u2019s wise to check with IT first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have more questions about the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/campaign\/google\/\">Salesforce Marketing Cloud + Google Analytics 360<\/a>&nbsp;integration?
