Google Analytics SEO Queries Not Showing
-
Hi All,
This might be a silly question, but for all the properties I monitor in Google Analytics, I'm now showing no data for SEO Queries under Acquisition for the past 6 days. Normally I would expect a few day delay in queries, but nothing for 6 days is somewhat peculiar especially as it was functioning fine prior to November 12th. Does anyone have insight into what might be going on? Thanks!

I am seeing no search query data before Oct 22, 2015 in my Google Web Master and Google Analytics. Is anyone else facing this issue?
Please see image in the URL. Google Web Master does not let me set the data before Oct 23, 2015.

yes, here is Google offical tweet on "For those of you who were waiting for a confirmation: Yes, the Search Analytics Data in Google SC in now back to normal. As I said: Zineb Ait (@Missiz_Z) November 18, 2015"
-
Has this been fixed? We're still seeing a couple of clients who have zeros on their Google Analytics Queries report, but others that seem to be working fine.
When we look at these clients' Search Console reports we're also seeing nothing. The client I was just reviewing isn't getting a huge amount of search traffic, but it is over 500 search visitors a month. There should be something, right?
-
issue with webmaster tool (search console) and we should have this back soon - happened last week as well and then Google fixed it but its back and they are working on it.
-
i believe this is due to the issue with search console and this should be fixed by end of week, as per Google Tweet.

Thanks Ria!
Looks like that would be it. Thanks again and have a great day!

Maybe something to do with this:
Google are apparently working to fix the bug in Search Console with Search Analytics data, which would affect Google Analytics.
"An Update on the Search Analytics report in Google Search console
Data have been missing in Search Analytics since November 12th.
The team is aware of it and currently working on a fix.
It should be back to normal by the end of the week."
-
Thanks Dmitrii,
Yeah, looks like it's a broken connection between the two. Or simply yet another change Google decided to make suddenly.
-
Thanks Ria,
I've seen the (not set) for a bit now, but the absolute flatline with no data, not even (not set) since the 12th is troubling. So likely they've changed things up again or perhaps a bug? Thanks again!
-
Hi, Ria.
The subject in question is why number of impressions are being shown as 0. I understand that there are lots of queries which are being as not set now, but that doesn't explain the quantity of overall amount dropping to 0.
-
If you're seeing (not set), I suspect this might be the explanation:
https://www.seroundtable.com/google-analytics-seo-report-not-set-is-not-a-bug-21102.html
"In Search Analytics if you look at the numbers of the queries that you see there, you will sometimes see that we show a top aggregated, maybe a hundred queries, and in a table below if you add the numbers together, you might see 70 queries or something like that.
And the difference there is essentially queries that we filter out, and in Search Console we don’t show them separately and in Google Analytics they chose to call them Not Set.
So that is what you are seeing there, not something completely different, its not showing the difference that you’d have to calculate yourself."
Unless, they've changed things up again.

Hi there.
Surprisingly, it happens to me as well. I have no idea why this exactly happening, however, I do have a suggestion.
Simply go to Search Analytics section of Google webmaster tools (or as it's know now - Search console) and see all your data there. Google analytics is pulling all that data from GWT anyway, so, maybe there is a bug or new change in GA-GWT connections.
Hope this helps.

Visits from Google with ccTLD are showing as referrals
Hi!I was seeing on of my clients Analytics report and it shows that some of the main sites that send visits and get tagged as referral traffic are google.com.br, google.cl, google.com.ar, among others. Do you know why is this happening? Shouldn't they get tagged by default as organic?

Google Analytics: Different stats for date range vs single month?
I've been scratching my head, chin, and you name it over this one. I have an advanced segment to remove bot traffic from my data. When I look at the Audience Overview data for a single month (let's say Aug). I am shown a session count. No problems here, however If I set the date range to (January - August). The august monthly stats is incorrect, much lower. What this means is that, if I export a CSV report from Jan-Aug, the data is wrong compared to individually recording a month. Anyone faced this? I've asked the question over at the Google Analytics technical section as well, but no answer P.S I even used the 'control the number of sessions used to calculate this report' tool but no luck.

Set Up of Goal Tracking with Google Analytics-$750 a Fair Price????
Greetings Moz Community! My firm operates commercial real estate website that contains 3-4 forms. Each form represents a goals. Google Analytics has been set up for years, but it does not track these form completions/goals properly. My SEO firm has offered to configure Goals on Google Analytics for $750. Is this a fair price? If the set up takes one hour, I am really over paying. But if this is a complex project that may take 7-9 hours the pricing seems OK. Also, the SEO firm will require an additional $750 in the future to set up event tracking. Is this excessive? I might add that my developer will need to add code to my web site. My SEO company has proven reliable and accurate. I can go to sleep at night knowing they are doing a good job. Where as my Argentinian developers really try their best, but perhaps because of the language barrier, they can make mistakes from time to time. I am willing to pay a premium to ensure that the job is done correctly domestically, however I don't appreciate over paying. Is the $750 payment for setting up Google Analytics reasonable assuming the job is done well??? Thanks,

Google Analytics Goals are not recording
Hello! I've set up Goals within Google Analytics and they aren't registering. I'm wondering if someone can review what I've set up to see if I've entered something wrong. I'm trying to track enrollments. Here's the site info: Enroll URL: http://www.careplusdentalplans.com/individuals/enroll-careplus/ Upon completion, the user goes to a Thank You page and our CMS generates a trailing URL parameter. For example: http://www.careplusdentalplans.com/index.php/individuals/enroll-careplus-thank-you/#123456789 My Goal info in GA: Goal URL: /individuals/enroll-careplus-thank-you/
Reporting & Analytics | | SmileMoreSEO
Match Type: Head Match (to disregard trailing URL parameter)
Goal Funnel: Step 1: /individuals/enroll-careplus/ I'm curious if the problem lies in either: The URL: Notice how the URL adds /index.php/ on the thank you page. In that case, should I enter the full URL in the Goal instead of the truncated URL? The Funnel: Is it necessary to show the initial Enroll page or if I'll see that in the Flow Visualization regardless? Thanks in advance for helping me out. Erik0 -

Do Google Analytics filters affect link building?
We recently made a few link wheels for specific product pages. We've been having great results with all of the wheels except for one. The one we are having issues with is the only link that we were using a Google Analytics filter on; it looks like this http://domain.com/page.htm?zSource=Specific Keyword%tracking My question is does Google ignore links that are obviously utilizing their analyitcs custom filters? We're doing some more testing to try to find out if it truly is the link or if the wheel is a bad one. There are so many things that could go wrong but with so many of our link wheels working well, I wonder if the filters are what is causing such results.

Setting up Google Analytic Goals to a 3rd Party Site
I recently received help on a question I asked on SEOmoz but need additional clarification. I am trying to set up goals in Google Analytics for people who click on a “purchase botton” which sends them to PayPal. I created a Thank You page and tried to get PayPal to redirect to it, however, our customers only get to our site’s 404 page. Here is what I’ve done so far: Went into my PayPal account and turned the “Auto Return” to ‘on’ Under website payment preferences, I added the following URL http://www.teecycle.org/thank-youutm_nooverride1. (I formatted the URL this way because the person who provided me with help recommended using the format ?UTM_nooverride=1. However, our CMS system won’t allow “?” or “=”)
