Custom Google Analytics Reports to Run: the Browser Report

Google Analytics provides a variety of high-powered tools to law firm leaders who want to evaluate the effectiveness of their online marketing campaigns. One of the most powerful of these tools in the Browser Report, which helps firm leaders understand how potential clients are interacting with their websites based on the browser that they are using. While browser analytics can seem simple and straightforward, they can reveal major problems with a firm’s Internet-based marketing campaigns.

Browser Report basics

It’s easy to overlook the importance of the Browser Report when working in Google Analytics. However, it’s essential that firm leaders know what platforms potential clients are using to access their websites and how these platforms affect client conversion rates. The Browser Report provides information about visits, bounce rates, exit percentages and revenues broken down by browser type. The report also contains information about browser window size, allowing firm leaders to get a better idea of how much of their site visitors are actually seeing.

Improving site experience with the Browser Report

Understanding how to analyze the results of the Browser Report is essential. For example, an injury lawyer who uses this report might find that the majority of his visitors use Internet Explorer. He will need to carefully scrutinize exit and bounce rates to determine whether or not these visitors are having a positive experience on his site. A high bounce or exit rate might indicate that the site needs to be modified in order to convert more visitors into clients.

One of the key aims of the Browser Report is to help marketers improve the end-user experience of a website. Firm leaders should review the Browser Report in conjunction with other Google Analytics reports. In order to correct browser-based issues, it may be necessary to adjust linking strategies, social media marketing tactics and overall website design.
