Empirical Path Web Analytics & Market Research

 

Google Analytics Audit

Empirical Path audits web analytics software implementations to ensure that every type of visitor behavior is captured accurately.  Even the best data-driven recommendations won't see the light of day if decision-makers don't trust that web analytics data is accurate, and Google Analytics doesn't track everything an organization needs to know out of the box.
