Any possibility to track goal completions/conversions at a sub-page (non-landing page) level in Google Analytics?

So, the "Booking-Flights" is destination goal. Therefore you can set up a funnel to see how many people are going through index page first. Google for videos or guides on how to setup funnels - there are tons of them.

Yes, We've already setup a funnel. (that works great) Please see the image 2. It's combined with three images.

Here is a video you can watch  about how funnels work and how they should be set up to achieve what you need: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IzxqN0WLjM

Please, read through links I've sent, do some self-education if you want to use Google Analytics. GA team has full course for free on how to use their products - https://analyticsacademy.withgoogle.com/explorer

Or hire a professional to do it for you. This is easy work and can be done in several minutes, so it won't cost you much at all.

Thanks Dmitrii for your generous reply. Here's not the issue of funnel. I'have been asking very specific question in order to track any specific sub-page or promotional page and that I was asking to SEO engineer. Anyways thanks for your time and help. Huge appreciated.

Hi Marty,

There seems to be some miscommunication going on. Let me see if I can help. If you don't mind, I am going to summarize the problem here. Can you confirm if I have that right? Then we can move to a solution.

You have a page you want to track clicks from the homepage to that and then to conversion (enquire or book). The pages in question are: flightcentre.ca (calling this home) and  flightcentre.ca/flights/london (calling this london).

You have 2 goals: booking and enquiry. I assume those are set up as goals and are reporting correctly?

If that's the whole problem, I might have a solution for you.

[flightcentre20]

Appreciated Kate for your positive response. Yeah! you got me right. We’re promoting this page on our homepage - so I need to see how many people went to the homepage, then went to london page, and then converted (enquired or booked.)  Is that possible? What I can’t see is how many people did that and navigated there and then converted.

We have already setup two goals to track these conversions:

Goal 1 Booking flights:  /flights/booking/confirmation with funnel steps
Goal 2 Enquiry: /enquiry/travel-enquiry-success

Those are working fine at this moment for us. Please let me know if you need to see the admin setup so I'll send the screenshot for them.

I see code for Google Tag Manager, are you using that?

[flightcentre20]

Yes! We are.

[katemorris]

Okay, you should be able to use Tag Manager to track this.

I would recommend tagging the traffic that click on the one link to London from the homepage. Using that tracker, you can see any conversions that happen over time from anyone that ever clicked on that link. That means those that convert immediately or those that convert later. Anyone that clicks that link.

Is that what you're looking for? If it is, I'll help you with instructions for the tag; or I'll try to. I'm not a Tag Manager major user, but happy to work you through this or get someone that is better with it. What I am hoping is if you tag the click, then you might be able to segment using that tag.

[flightcentre20]

So, you meant to say that to track this type of specific event or promotion, I need to create new tagging through GTM and send all clicks to Google Analytics. (I'm not much educated about GTM, have basic knowledge though). Let's say according to attached screenshot will create new tagging based on type of triggers I want to track and I can view/receive that report or metrics into GA under the any of the segment or >Event section? That's what it is?

Is there any alternate way to track this type of traffic? Like, using URL builder for custom campaign parameters?

[katemorris]

Sorry for my delay in replying.

The URL builder is meant for external campaigns. I would be worried about using that and losing the actual referral data. Are you going to need to see where the traffic came from before they got to the homepage? If not, you can use this. Make sure there is a canonical on the London page if you do to ensure the URL Builder URL isn't indexed. If you do need that data, we will need to explore another area.

In that instance for tag manager, I'm suggesting using the current setup to pull in specific click tracking, not pageview like you showed. Something like here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6164470?vid=1-635804359701533130-3696063864

[flightcentre20]

Yes, you are right, many be URL builder is not the right way to track this traffic. So If I use GTM to tag this traffic, where exactly I can see the report for London page in Google Analytics? Any idea?

[katemorris]

You would be able to set up a custom segment using the defined Event Label, Action, and/or Category you set up. Then to see how many convert, you just change the segment to that new segment you made and look at conversions.

That sounds a little vague, but does it make sense to you?

[flightcentre20]

I don't have much knowledge about GTM. I will have to test the way you've recommended and see it would work for us in order to track this type of traffic. Huge appreciated for investing time on this issue and provide valuable recommendations. Thank you so much.
