Save a Google Analytics account
-
We recently started with a client who has Google Analytics already installed on their current site, but they have no idea the account login for it? Is there anyway to transfer ownership of this just based on the code?
-
Thanks Joe. I'll be contacting them and let's hope it's an easy one.
-
Thanks, yes they're not sure which account it is, and have tried the lost password method for all accounts they could think of.

First contact Google and let them know your situation.
Google will send an email to the current administrator on the account. If the current administrator doesn’t respond (which they probably won’t), Google will then send you an email with instructions on how to verify your site ownership. Verifying site ownership is just adding a verification code to your website.I have had to do this several times for clients who did not have control of their accounts. Sometimes this has been done quickly for me and some times it has taken longer for other clients.
That should do the trick, it's better to get access to that existing data then to start from scratch.
Hope that helps,
Joe

I don't think you'll want to transfer ownership (unless it's to the client from a previous company working on their site). But you'll have to go through Google's password recovery process to get it. Ideally it will send the client an email at that step and they can follow up then.

Using logical operators (AND / OR) in Google Analytics Goal Funnels
When setting up a Funnel within Google Analytics, is it possible to use logical operators (e.g. OR, AND) in the first (required) step of the funnel? For example, suppose I want to track users who visit page1.html AND page2.html before proceeding to the destination goal. I've entered two pages separated by the OR operator, and neither the "Verify this Goal" nor "Save" produces an error message - is it safe to assume that this is working as I intend? Thanks in advance!

How do I add subdomain tracking to an existing Google analytics account that was set up to track website only (without the subdomain option)
I know you can track subdomains by just selecting the proper code when you set up the analytics and then create filters for the data in analytics. But how do you add a subdomain for existing analytics website. Is there a way to go back and change to the option to include subdomains and then I assume just replace the tracking code with the new code that Google delivers for this?

Google Analytics: Difference Between Goal Conversions & Goal Completions
When using Google Analytics, what is the difference between total goal conversions and total goal completions? We have many goals set up in a lead generation environment. Therefore, the only element of conversion is submitted a lead and arriving on the "Thank You" page. THose thank you pages are tagged accordingly. When we run reports though, the number of "Total Goal Conversions" and "Total Goal Completions" never match up.

Can you get local search numbers/traffic out of Google Analytics?
With Google's new local search I am more curious as to market penetration on keywords that are now localized to my different US cities. I understand that you can separate out Google traffic based on regional Google domains, but I am curious if there is an effective way to separate out searches and keywords based on a my local US Metros? If google cannot do this, any recommendations on products that can? Thanks.
