The University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) uses Google Analytics to provide traffic information on its websites and applications.
Identified web leads have access to Google Analytics and can request additional access for other users within their management areas as long as the user:
- creates a gmail address in the proper format (firstname.lastname.uno@gmail.com)
- is requested by a web lead or content creator
University users who are granted access will receive read access to the unomaha.edu property.
MarComm does not provide training for Google Analytics.
Google Analytics provides an Analytics Academy and other resources to assist in the comprehension of the data collected.
What UNO will track institutionally is the following:
- Student application conversions
- RFI submissions
- Job application conversions
- Site search terms
- Downloads
- External clicks
- Email clicks
- 404s
- Sharing link clicks
- Other KPIs such as Live Chat interactions
All other specialized analytics tracking is not currently supported by MarComm for individual units.
Any inquiries regarding tracking can be sent using our Start Your Project Form.
