Question 6

Analytics for Manufacturers

Accepted Answer

Overview

The SpexAccess Analytics for manufacturers enables you to have a deeper insight into the scope and visibility of your products within the GfK Etilize network.

The Analytics Dashboard is a collection of individual widgets each showing a distinct data point. The stats in these widgets are based on the product impressions. A product impression is either an end-consumer looking at the product details page or a product appearing in the search results and visible to the end-consumer (since search results are paginated and a user generally doesn’t look at the full search results, it will only be considered an impression if the page that the product appears in is viewed by the user).

Main Analytics Dashboard

Clicking Analytics in the menu bar at the top would take you to the Main Analytics Dashboard. This page has a total of six widgets. You can view or hide any widget by clicking on the icon () displayed in the upper right corner of the page and selecting/unselecting the widget options:

You can perform the following functions, available for all widgets in the upper right corner of the widget:

Widgets can be viewed in full-screen mode by clicking () icon
