See how many visitors you get and what they do on your site

FlowCore connects your Google Analytics, keeps your figures day after day and sets them next to your scans, your positions and your reports. The Analytics connection is part of the monitoring subscription.

What lands in your console

Google already measures this for you. We fetch it, keep it and turn it into the question you actually have about it.

Google Analytics

Website traffic per project

FlowCore pulls visitors, sessions, page views, traffic channels, key events and measurement settings from Google Analytics.

Visitors and sessionsTraffic channelsPagesKey eventsMeasurement settings
You see the history over 7, 28 or 90 days with the previous period alongside it, together with your scans, searches and reports.

The same number, looked at twice

Google Analytics measures your website traffic. FlowCore keeps your daily figures and sets them next to your scans, search positions and reports.

Looking back

Google Analytics retains detailed data for two months by default. You can extend this to a maximum of fourteen months.

We store your daily figures ourselves, every night. Your history therefore keeps growing, beyond what Google itself still retains.

Missing figures

Only visitors who accepted statistics cookies are counted. Google can also withhold small rows for privacy reasons.

Every screen with visitor figures says so. Without that line a dip in consent reads as a dip in visitors, and you steer on a number that was never right.

Recognizing issues

When a measurement code disappears from the site, you see an empty chart. You then have to investigate the cause yourself.

We check your settings at Google and say in plain language what is wrong and what to do about it.

Seeing the connection

Visitor figures stand on their own, apart from your positions, your speed and your findability.

Everything sits per project in one console: your visitors next to your scans, your searches and your reports. A drop immediately gets a possible cause.

Connected in two clicks

1

Sign in with Google

You pick your Google account and give FlowCore read access. We cannot change your measurement, your site or your settings.

2

Pick the right property

Every project gets its own property. Until that choice is made we show no figures under that name rather than figures from another site.

After that your history builds up automatically

The first figures are there straight away. Every night adds a day that stays yours, even once Google’s own retention has run out.

Numbers only help next to the rest

Visitor figures say how many people came and by which route. They do not say why someone kept clicking on your pricing page without anything happening. That is what the Microsoft Clarity connection is for. Search Console shows the searches that brought visitors to you via Google; Bing Webmaster Tools adds to this for Bing.

Analytics connection FAQs

What do I need to connect?

A Google account with access to a Google Analytics property of your website. You sign in with Google in your FlowCore console, choose which property belongs to which project, and you are done. Do not have Analytics yet? We are happy to set it up for you.

I already look at Google Analytics itself. What does this add?

Three things. Your history keeps growing with us beyond the fourteen months Google retains at most. Every screen states that the figures only count visitors who gave consent, so you never read a dip in consent as a dip in visitors. And your visitor figures sit next to your positions, your speed and your scans, so a drop immediately gets a possible cause.

Can FlowCore change anything about my Analytics or my website?

No. The connection only requests read rights: we fetch figures and write nothing back. You can revoke access at any time, in your FlowCore console or directly in your Google account.

Are these figures complete?

No, and we say so on every screen that shows them. Google Analytics only counts visitors who accepted statistics cookies, so the real numbers are higher. Google also withholds rows with few visitors for privacy reasons, which means small numbers can be missing.

What happens if I disconnect the connection?

Then the access disappears and we also delete the daily figures we kept for you. We say so before you confirm, not after. You can always reconnect, but the history then starts over from scratch.
