1. Integration Phases
A catalogue of requirements is defined inter-divisionally within the company.
The following aspects have to be considered:
- Goals of the website
e.g. more orders, less returns, new customers, newsletter registrations - KPIs
What are the most important key figures and how should they be defined in detail?
- Which things have to be measured?
e.g. marketing campaigns, number of internal search results, error messages
It is recommended, that you phrase the desired evaluations as questions. E.g. "Which internal search phrases led to product views?". By doing so, the information, that have to be combined, can be identified.
Phase 1: Conception/Implementation
Implementation Concept
An implementation concept is developed, that shows, how the items defined in the list of requirements can be mapped in Webtrekk.
The concept contains:
- All defined requirements
- Example values per element
(e.g. the "page naming is structured in [COUNTRY].[Main Section]…"] - Overview over the existing parameters per page area
(e.g. Home Site, Product View, Shopping Cart…) - Configuration of Webtrekk

- Custom parameters (e.g. page parameters, e-commerce parameters)
Tag Integration
The tags are integrated in accordance with the implementation concept.
- Operational concept

tag configuration for every page according to concept specifications - Integration of the tags
Testing the Implementation
Extensive testing of the implementation.
- Onsite tests
Testing of the transmitted data on the website, e.g. with HttpFox - Basic test
Is data collected in the basic analyses (e.g. pages, events)? - Extended test
Extended analyses, to check validity
(e.g. processes, click paths) - Data comparison
e.g. with internal DWH, CRM

Phase 2: Understanding Webtrekk
The basic questions are:
- Which analyses do i need and which key figures are useful for me?

- Should the API to Google AdWords be used?
- Which attribution models are needed?
- Depths of engagement

a separate login should be set up for every user - Limiting logins via user management
hiding unnecessary analyses and metrics

Phase 4: Go live
A separate use of live and test accounts in Webtrekk Analytics is recommended.
The following steps are necessary before the go-live:
- Separate configuration of the live account
- Copy any existing reports from the test account to the live account
- Use a separate track ID in the pixel
Usually, own accesses are excluded from the live account by means of an IP filter (Webtrekk Q3 > Configuration > System Configuration > Data Collection)
Phase 5: Support in the Daily Business
After the go-live, the focus is on the interpretation of the data.
