If you work with an online store, google analytics is your faithful companion that knows how much visitors your site has and therefore how much your company makes. There is some functionality that will be useful to you. Your competitors probably haven’t thought about it. Analyzing “no results” queries in your analytics will help you to make your future income and compile a list of in-demand products. Western marketers have been using this data to drive their sales for ages. It's time for us to learn from the experience of leading experts.
There are three reasons to look at the “no results” queries report:
-
to track demand and replenish the assortment with popular items;
-
to learn timely about trends in your niche and stay ahead of competitors;
-
to predict the possible revenue from replenishing the assortment with new products.
How to make but not to lose $21,000. Let's look at a real example
You see a monthly report from an online pharmacy’s analytics. It deals with the internal search function and all the associated “no results” queries. Using one request as an example, we will show how you can lose $21,000 of income. And if you analyze the top 20 of ‘no result’ queries, the amount will double at least.
Formula: Number of not found queries * Product cost * CR conversion rate * 0.01 = Revenue
If you know all the values in the formula, it will be very easy for you to calculate the possible income from “no results” queries:
-
number of “moisturizing care with high hydrabio content” requests with no results = 15,000 times;
-
product price = $20;
-
CR Conversion Rate — Internal Site Search Conversion = 7%.
Here we go:
15,000 * 20 * 7 * 0.01 = 21,000 US dollars
The fact that the query was used so often tells us about the high demand for that product. It would be criminal not to add it to the assortment.
