Compare Your Website's Performance With Other Sites from Your Business Sector

This submodule provides you with various information about how your website is performing compared to other participants of the same business sector in your country. To view the data, please update your website's business sector and geolocation first. 

In this section, we compare the following data sets:

  1. Channel Overview Page Views
  2. Browsers Used
  3. Operating Systems Used
  4. Screen Resolutions Used
  5. Devices Used

Important Notes:

  • Make sure that the selected options are the real and final ones, so that other users can see as accurate data as possible. These cannot be edited, due to reasons of accuracy in the calculations that are made.
  • While you can't modify your chosen options, you can always compare different pairs of countries and business sectors to see how their numbers compare to yours.
  • Note that even if you change the country and the business sector for comparisons, your selected fields will stay the same when you return to the module.
  • You can also combine all countries with all business sectors to see the performance of your website compared to all sites that use our application – independent of their business sector and/or geolocation.

Right above the tiles, you can see a date selector icon. Use it to pick a time period or specific day for the Dashboard's data.

It's important to focus on dates when you ran campaigns or strategies. This helps evaluate their effectiveness and plan for the future.

Important Notes:

  • The date picker lets you pick the earliest possible start date, August 1, 2020, and will soon support even older dates.
  • If your site had a data reset after that date, then the start date for the data analysis will be from the reset date.
  • For accuracy, we recommend comparing the competition's performance up to 24 hours ago, as current-day calculations occur at day's end.
  • The app now remembers previously set segments, filters, filter templates, and date intervals, even when you navigate away from the page, log out, or log back in. When your session expires or you close the tab, it automatically switches back to the default setting of "Last 30 Days."
