Hello, i would like to know if the statistics only consider a page load of the listing as 1 pageview? Lets say a user clicks whatsapp / phone / reply button on a listing block view will that count as a view? If not how do add this so that clicks on their listings are also counted as a pageview? If it only counts on pageload then it does not accurately track the performance of the listing as overperforming listing have users contact from the listing block view skipping the single listing view.
Hi,
Thanks for the details. Please note that Statistics are based on the Google Analytics API and count everything the same way as in Google Analytics, i.e., one full view (also, statistics are counted by unique users). For example, conversion actions (viewing a phone or sending a message) do not count as a page view because they are actions. Yes, it would be possible to calculate this separately, but it would require advanced customization. However, we will consider adding such a feature.
I hope it helps
In this case then it wouldnt truly reflect the performance of a listing.
-Is there a way to show clicks on the listing block as views
-Is there a way to hide visitor and new visitor / all visitor count
it is also important for users to see impression count as well. this will reflect the actual performance of their listing based on featured vs non featured. And tracking clicks in addition to page view will reflect the actual performance of the listing overall. Is it possible that i swap “all visitors” and “New visitors” with clicks and impression?
Hi,
Yes, it is possible to customize everything, but as I mentioned above, this will require advanced customization. If you require customization, you may consider submitting a request at this link.
Hi andrii i am on a tight budget as i am a small local startup. are you able to give me some guidance on how to achieve this?
Hi,
Sorry for the confusion. Please note that what you described as impressions are page views, i.e., users are unique visitors, and page views are impressions. For example, there may be 1,000 views but only 500 users, meaning that on average, each user visited the listing page twice.
The only thing missing from your description is conversion action tracking (e.g., send a message or view a phone). To implement this functionality, you can look in the hivepress-statistics/includes/blocks folder. In this file, the request goes to the Google Analytics API, and if you add custom code to the button or phone view, you can also try to extract this data via the API.
I hope it helps
hi andrii thank you for your reply. i am looking to add impression , example, user scolls and saw their ad/listing. it will be considered as 1 impression even if they scroll past their listing without interaction
Hi,
I see. If you mean not a single listing page, but in search results where listings appear, then there is no such functionality, it will require custom implementation, and there is no simple PHP snippet for this. You can store the count in the database for the listing (as post meta, for example) and add 1 to the count on the template hook hivepress/v1/templates/listing_view_block/blocks, because when the hook is triggered, it means that the listing block is being generated, and then with further customization, you can embed this count in the chart.
I hope it helps
