When you view queries in Google Analytics, you want to ensure that they’re listed together as a separate report on your site’s Search Results page.
Note: Clients who deployed with Google-powered site search and were later converted to the Finalsite search tool can make this change to their Google Analytics settings to display users’ site search terms. This will display any user searches going forward, but will not retroactively display past searches.
-
Log in to Google Analytics.
-
Click the “Admin” icon to bring up the Administration controls.
-
Click the “View Settings” link under the “View” column.
-
Change the “Site Search Tracking” toggle to "ON".
-
Enter “q” into the “Query Parameter” field.
Note: Sites that were previously on Page Manager may already see “keywords” in this field. If this is the case, simply add a comma and then add “q” after it.
-
Save your settings.
-
If you have multiple views configured, repeat this process for each of them.
