I want to get the most viewed pages in my webiste for a specific section. I am using filtering in Google Analytic to get the data but I need to make segments. In the screenshot you can see, that in the search fill I am searching for /health consumers/ in the reports and I got the result that I want but I don't know how to save it and use it again. I tried but I am not professional with Google Analytics.
Result I want
With the use of segment
The (first) dimension you are filtering in the first screenshot is Page.
You have to use it: Filter Sessions Include Page contains /health_consumers/ in segment creation window you posted in the second screenshot.

I have a website where the customer can take a quiz to find the right products. I want to track the customer's journey on the quiz, to see what they choose and where people fall off.
The quiz starts at example.com/start/ and for every step they take, the URL "expand" to e.g. example.com/start/first_step/, next step example.com/start/first_step/second_step etc.
I think I can do it with tag manager, by creating events for each step / URL. But my first issue is, that the events get to long. The other issue is, I cant figure out how to visualize the journey in either Google analytics 4 or Google data studio.
enter image description here
Does any of you have a great idea for how I can do it?
what exactly to you mean saying "the events get to long"? Do you mean the requests payload to the google analytics server?
Generally speaking, I'd recommend the following:
Create a generic event for all quiz steps
Add two parameter for the progress, one containing the steps name an one containing the index (e.g. "quiz_step_str" & "quiz_step_index")
Send the events to GA4
Visualize them using a bar chart. (https://analyticsdemystified.com/google-analytics/step-step-guide-creating-funnels-googles-data-studio/)
Additional information regarding step 2:
The parameter containing the step name can be generated using js and getting the value from the url. Just scrape the corrsponding part from it (e.g. "example.com/start/first_step/" -> "first_step").
For the parameter containing the steps' index, I recommend creating a lookup table.
I have started a Fb campaigns and I need to track the clicks on link on Google Analytics.
The problem I have is that the page link came on GA with different expressions after the normal URL, so they are collected in different rows instead of in a single one.
I will make you an example.
I need to track this link:
/es/el-folleto-de-los-vinos-italianos-con-denominacion-de-origen-2020
But everytime a person is clicking on it from Fb ads, the link appears in a different way on GA, such as:
/es/el-folleto-de-los-vinos-italianos-con-denominacion-de-origen-2020/?fbclid=IwAR2Uc9rSNA7RxYU4wdSrtJrvpVS8SS6TrsMD7KEXOmJm7-PczRtN2CV2UUQ
or
/es/el-folleto-de-los-vinos-italianos-con-denominacion-de-origen-2020/?fbclid=IwAR0OIQhQ-szHlm5BcSQU14UPMIri8HSSV4ws2uowtlvuW8qI7AQA_RWB0jU
Result?
I have 6000 rows for clicks on the same page.
How can I merge all those links (that create different rows) in only one row that is for all the clicks referring to the same page?
If they have been collected in this way in Analytics you can no longer merge them.
However you can filter by the page path and see the result in the first row which represents the aggregate summary of all the individual offending pages.
Also, from the View settings you can exclude the fbclid parameter so that Analytics excludes it from the URLs and in the next reports (from then on) you will see the pages all together on the same row.
I'm setting up Google Analytics for a website where a user can find an event to attend (concerts, plays, etc.). The results can be filtered by 5 different parameters.
So, unfiltered results would look like: example.com/event-finder/
And filtered results showing concerts in January or February would look like: example.com/event-finder?type=concert&month=jan,feb
I'm struggling to figure out the best way to use the query parameters in Google Analytics to analyze filtering behavior.
Example questions I'd want to be able to pull answers for:
What percentage of results were filtered by type?
What percentage of results were also sorted by month?
What is the most common type filtered by?
I have full access to both Google Analytics and Tag Manager but I suspect I shouldn't do this with events or custom dimensions and that there's got to be a way to use the query parameters to do this in a clean way.
I've tried to use a new view and site search to group the types of filters. Seems like it could work, but seems hacky and limited.
I've considered pushing those values into custom dimensions, but that too seems like overkill.
I've considered pulling content reports into Google Sheets and sorting through things there, but I'm 1) not entirely sure how I'd do that and 2) suspect there may be an easier approach.
Let me know if you have any questions or need more clarification. Thanks!
Have you tried to use "category parameters" when configuring site search (admin -> view settings)? You could set the "type" as a category parameter. You can also enter multiple parameters in there.

I want to create a Google Analytics segment for our users who view at least a certain number of pages on our site. From what I can tell (please correct me if I'm wrong) this is easy to do if you don't care about what kind of page they view: you create a filter for the segment that checks to see if Unique Pageviews is greater than some value such as 4. However our site has a whole bunch of pages that I don't really care if someone reads (our "about page" for example). So what I'm trying to do is create a segment of how many people view at least X pages of what we call "Learning Content" (basically two specific page types on our site). How can I segment the users who read a certain amount of learning content?
Two types of pages fit into our definition of learning content. The first one has a URL matching a regex that sort of looks like /learning_content_1/.* and the second matches regex /learning_content_2/.*. I've already created a content group for learning content that correctly identifies these two content groups. However I wasn't able to find any way to filter a segment based on how many unique pageviews (or even just pageviews) come from a specific content grouping. Is this even possible? If not, how might I work around that?
The research I've done so far: Google Analytics: How to segment by many groups of pages was somewhat helpful but didn't address the question of how to create an actual GA segment based on pageview information for a content grouping or content group.
The only way I can think of handling this, is by associating a specific custom event that gets triggered on this page. Then you can create a segment that matches users who have that event category:
and total events greater than 4:
It's a workaround, and it doesn't work if you are tracking other events, but maybe that works for you?
I have a url similar to this
/widgets/view/13031800
In the google analytics settings you can have it exclude url paramaters, but I can't figure out how to have it look at all
/widgets/view/ pages as one page. I don't need each one to be unique.
Any ideas?
Unfortunately there is not an easy answer to this. You can...
change what is passed in your _trackPageview calls on your page(s) to exclude the number
create a filter in the interface to strip off the number
Neither one of these solutions will retroactively apply (will not change data you already got).
Only way to see it for current data is to export your data to excel or whatever and do some manual work on it, like strip off the numbers and sum up the page views and remove duplicates sort of thing.
