How to create a filter view to view local search traffic in google analytics ?

[jpeg80]

Id like to be able to drill down into the local search traffic for a site in google analytics, i know i can get some analytics data via google's local places dashboard, but id like to see a more detailed chart in google analytics.

I read this article and installed this filtered view dashboard from Local U, but it seems its stopped working since it was originally published back in July 13.

Is there a more up to date method for capturing this data ?

In the results pane, add a segment.

Select Dermographic, Country instead of continent and then the country you want to include or exclude, you can add OR for further countries to include/exclude.

Hello jpeg80,

If you would like to filter the local organic traffic in GA, you can use this Campaign URL Builder from Google to generate a UTM tracking URL. Replace the homepage URL that you use in the directory, Bing Places, and Google My Business listings with the tracking URL and GA will begin tracking this traffic in Campaigns > All Campaigns. You can see the new sessions, bounce rates, goal completions, etc.

I hope this helps!
