User Segmentation: Use filters to segment your audience based on geography, behavior, or other criteria. This can reveal patterns in how different user groups interact with your site.

5. Conversion Tracking:

Set up conversion goals (like purchases, sign-ups, or downloads) to understand what actions lead to desired outcomes. This helps in refining your site for better conversion rates.

6. Advanced Analysis:

Behavior Flow: Understand user journeys through your site to see where they enter, exit, or navigate, which can uncover bottlenecks or highly engaging content paths.

Funnel Analysis: If you have a sales or user registration process, analyze drop-off rates at each step to improve the funnel.

7. Integration with Other Tools:

Link your analytics with CRM, marketing automation, or social media analytics for a comprehensive overview of customer interaction across platforms.

8. Reporting:

Custom Reports: Create reports that focus on metrics important to your business. Regularly review these reports to track progress over time.
