Google Analytics & Social Media Campaigns - google-analytics

I've been struggling for some time to get an answer, and still can't find it out on the web. I would like to to a seemingly simple thing:
1) Facebook page A sends me some visitors through a link to MYPAGE.com/?utm_campaign=mycampaign& etc. etc.
2) I count the unique page views (not users) received from people that have clicked this link, and no other visits are counted as being part of these (e.g. direct visits of someone recurring that has first come across to the site through that campaign should not be included in the count)
This way, I'd like to monitor exactly the unique page views coming from different facebook pages which I have a partnership with. And another thing I cannot figure is: how do I make this work on subdomains too?
Best regards

Step 1 - You need to have different utm_campaign values for each Facebook page.
Step 2 - Create Google Analytics segment for that specific campaign.
Use "Filter Sessions" as you only want the sessions that came straight from Facebook.
Step 3 - Use Behaviour -> Site Content reports to see which pages those users visited.

set up dtm and analytics on a new website - unique visitors

I have a 3 page website. I want to know how many unique visitors visit each page of the website. That is how many unique visitors in page A, and from page how many reach page B and from page B how many reach page C.
But, on page A, there is an option for Male and Female. I want to further know how many Male Unique Visitors and how many Female Unique Visitors visited on each page.
I am unable to determine or understand how the eVars and success events will be set in this scenario.
Please help.
If you're using DTM then you can use page load rules to see how many people hit each page. You can use a custom event that fires on page b if the referrer is page a or whatever combination you want. You can use an event based rule that fires when they submit their form (I'm guess you have some sort of form) that is collecting their gender. Gender would go into an evar, I'd also store the referrer in an eVar if you're interested in how people travel around your site and then use some metrics in the adobe dashboard to get the segments that you want.
Those are all very simple things to do. If you still are having issues, you should check out the forums or docs

Google Analytics statistics for one page on my website?

I want to display Google Analytics report of a particular page on my website ?
Is there any code/script which will help me to achieve this?
Precisely, i want to show TOTAL NUMBER OF VISITS & NUMBER OF UNIQUE VISTORS of a specific page on my website. If there's any other alternative (of Google Analytics) to achieve this, please do suggest?
If you're already tracking for every page, you could set up a duplicate Google Analytics profile which excludes every page except the one you're interested in.

Is it possible to see Visits (not views) of a certain page in Google Analytics?

I am looking to find the number of visitors that see a certain subdomain on my website. I can find total views and unique views but not visitors. I thought you could do this fairly easily in the old GA but having a hard time finding it now.
The easiest way to do this is to create a custom report.
I'll share an easy example I created: https://www.google.com/analytics/web/template?uid=ReBbGcwqToSJeP_TyfrhsA
Look at report tab 1 to see visits and pageviews to your different pages. If you click the "Unique" report tab, you can see which hostname initiated the request and how many unique visitors was seen during that time period.

How to track conversion funnel in Google Analytics where a banner ad is shown on many pages.

I have a website that features a call to action/promotion button on nearly all pages of the site.
I have currently configured a conversion funnel that shows me how many people arrive on the call to action page, and then how many people make it to successfully complete the action page.
What I want to see though is how many unique visitors over the reporting see the banner at the top of the funnel.
eg. Something like this:
Visitors accessing website: 1000
Visitors clicked on call to action page: 100
Visitors successfully submitted call to action form: 45
My initial thoughts was to do this using the frontpage only, but I forgot that this banner/call to action ad is featured on many pages around the website. Many people find the site through SEO and never even pass through the frontpage.
Is it possible to use a wildcard for a domain or something similar in Google Analytics? Or maybe I am approaching this the wrong way.
Last of all - I know I can accomplish this by pulling up 2 reports: site wide unique visitors and comparing that to how many people hit the first stage of the existing conversion funnel. But it's a hassle to have to do this regularly manually.
While using funnel analysis, it is normal to have funnel steps that represent more than 1 urls. Take the basic case of ecommerce sites, where the final goal maybe the same transaction completion page, but the funnel step corresponding to product page can be triggered by many different product pages and not just one.
Based on the page url structure of your website, you can choose any of the below 2 match types to add multiple urls to a single step:
1, Begins with : If all the different pages displaying the ad have a set of common characters in the beginning, then use this.
2, Regular Expression Match : If the different pages that contain your banner ad how totally unrelated url, then find a suitable regex that can capture all those urls

Google Analytics tracking for groups or individuals

not sure how many people on Stack Overflow use google analytics however thought it might be worth asking the following.
We send out email campaigns as a business and using GA we can track when a user has clicked on a link in the email to come through to our site. We can therefore see how many people come to the site based on that individual email.
What we then want to be able to do is track the journey they take on the site before purchasing a product (or until they leave the site). How do we track this period between reaching the site and actually placing an order? If it is not possible to track actual individuals (I know it is a grey area within Google terms), is there a way of tracking all users that come in from that email as a group so for example we can say
'10 people from the email viewed x product page, then y product page then ordered but 5 people visited z product page and then left the site'.
Just to make things even more difficult if people are accessing the site from multiple IP addresses e.g. Phones, Internet Cafe etc is it possible?
If they do buy a product we can then track the status of their order from within our own CRM system.
I know Google as the 'Visitor Flow' feature but you do't seem to be able to isolate individuals or campaigns through it.
Thanks for any help!
I would create a different landing page for each of your campaigns. This is a good idea anyway (you want the landing page to be very relevant to your campaign message), and it makes it trivial to use Google Analytics' Visitor Flow feature to see the journey they took after leaving that page. This is an easy win for tracking at the campaign level.
