Overview
As we know that Google Analytics is vital for our customers’ businesses, we’ve integrated it within cognitiveSEO. No more switching between tools, no more wasted time with mixing and matching results and comparisons. We are making it possible for you to use Google Analytics straight from our cognitive tool.
Add Google Analytics Widgets
You can choose to add Analytics Widgets to your Dashboard or to the Reports & Schedules section. The widgets are the same for both cases and once you press the “Add widget” button a po-up like the one below will appear in the Dashboard and as well in the Reports& Schedules section.
In both cases you can choose between six types of widgets:
- Analytics Timeline
- Analytics Metric

- Analytics Metric & Timeline
- Analytics Pie Chart
- Analytics Bar Chart
Each of these widgets has such a high level of personalization that out of them hundreds of combinations can be made. From pie charts to tables and bar charts, any of your Google Analytics data can be displayed directly on your cognitiveSEO account. In the screenshot below you can see some widgets examples.

Analytics Reports can be generated from Recurring campaigns only. Below you have an example of how a part of an Analytics Report could look like. As mentioned above, this template will give you widgets on Google Analytics only. However, any widget regarding any other metric from cognitiveSEO can be mixed into this report.
Google Analytics Widgets Customization
We allow you to fully customize all the widgets from cognitiveSEO, Google Analytics included. You are the one who decides which data you want to see exactly, the period of time you are interested to get the data from or the device you are interested to analyze the data for. All of these and many others personalization options are available for any Google Analytics widget. You can choose to customize the widgets in the moment you add a new one or afterward.
When you add a widget you will get several personalization options, just like in the image below. The widgets are highly customizable and for each of them you will get many personalization options.
If you want to customize a widget after you’ve added it, you can do that by pressing the Edit icon. Once you’ve press Edit a pop-up similar to the one above will appear and you will be able to make all the wanted personalizations from there.
Near the edit icon, you will find the trash can icon where you can delete the widget from.
