Integrating with Adobe Analytics
Updated over 3 weeks ago

🛠 This article provides the information you need to integrate your Adobe Analytics data with your Botify project.

Overview

Adobe Analytics brings a new dimension to Botify reports. When you integrate your Adobe Analytics data with Botify, we import your visit and conversion data from search engines. These performance indicators are mapped to SEO indicators from the Botify crawl analysis. Botify reports will identify areas that can be improved, such as the pages that generated organic visits but have duplicate HTML tags or those that did not generate visits because they are deep in the website structure.

❗️This documentation refers to Adobe's OAuth authentication method, which will replace the JWT method on 27 January 2025. Clients integrating with Adobe Analytics for the first time and those with an existing Adobe integration in Botify must complete this process to preserve analytics data.

Adobe Analytics Data in Botify Reports

When you integrate your Adobe Analytics data, Botify retrieves your visit and conversion data. Adobe Analytics data is available in the following locations in Botify:

  • The Analytics Overview Page: The funnel on the Overview page uses Adobe Analytics data to show a full-funnel view of organic search performances.

  • EngagementAnalytics: EngagementAnalytics shows your daily analytics data with trend charts for all channels to capture the evolution. You can also build these trend charts in RealKeywords and send them to CustomReports.

  • SiteCrawler: Adobe Analytics data is aggregated by default for 30-day periods in SiteCrawler's Visits section, which provides indicators for all search engines and the most popular sources. The Visits section also combines visit data with SEO indicators, such as: pages that generate visits vs. those that do not, pages by depth, HTML tags uniqueness, and internal links. You can browse data imported from Adobe Analytics through the URL Explorer, use criteria based on visits as filters in reports, and export results. You can also retrieve visit data in the RealKeywords Keywords Explorer on a selected period.

  • Visit and conversion dimensions and metrics: Use the dimensions and metrics shown below as filters and report columns for your visit and conversion data:

Historical Data Retrieved

We retrieve 16 months of historical data from Adobe Analytics. At the start of the integration, we retrieve 30 days of historical data, then additional data daily until we have 16 months of data.

Benefits of the New Integration

There are several advantages to the new integration method, including:

  • You will benefit from daily updated data.

  • Access trends in EngagementAnalytics and create your trend charts in RealKeywords that you can use to build custom reports.

  • Get the full benefit from new reports like the Content Performance dashboard.

Updating the Adobe Analytics Configuration
