Some visitors are different than others. And to make sure your live chat service is as effective as possible it helps to understand where your visitors who chat and your chat leads come from. After you’ve updated Google Analytics to include tracking data you can learn a lot more about who your website chatters are.

This will teach you where to find more information on the people who start chats on your website. First, find the “Behavior” option under the left-hand menu in GA:

Google Analytics Chat Events 1

Look for “Events” and “Overview” under the “Behavior” submenu:

Google Analytics Chat Event 2

Here you’ll find an overview of the various events you’ve set up. The labels may change depending on what you name your events. For example, we called chats “Chats” and leads that come from chat “ChatToLeads.” If you’re looking for information on all visitors who chat click on your business’ label for chat.

Once you’re looking at the overview of chat events on your website you’ll need to add a secondary dimension. One of the more useful ones is “Source / medium,” which will help you track lead your sources. You can also choose dimensions such as “Landing page,” “Page” or “Device.”
