Google Analytics Intelligence Gains Knowledge

When Google describes their Analytics program as “puking” data at the user, you know a change is definitely in order. That’s where Google Analytics Intelligence comes in.

Thanks to two new updates, Intelligence is even more user-friendly than ever before.

Update part one: If your Google Analytics and AdWords accounts are linked up, Analytics Intelligence also automatically detects significant changes in your AdWords campaigns, effectively eliminating any manual configurations to discover the problem.

Using Analytics Intelligence is as easy as 1-2-3:

  1. Sign into your Analytics account
  2. In the left-hand navigation panel, select Intelligence
  3. Choose between daily (default), weekly, or monthly notifications

Update part two: You can already create an easy custom alert for a metric you want monitored by Analytics Intelligence, but now there are many more options to help specify alerts by goals, e-commerce, and AdWords metrics.
