How well your website leads users down the funnel of your digital customer journey impacts your entire business. Without the ability to see when, how, and why users are looking for your website, how do you know when it's time to shake things up through new features or marketing, or when technical issues are causing customer churn? Then you can directly fix and improve your funnel, removing the pain points that prevent consistent customer satisfaction.
Digital customer journey analytics platforms like Quantum Metric help you optimize your entire customer journey by pinpointing where your website fails to support users through their journey.
Below, we go into the three main considerations you should have when searching for a digital customer journey analytics platform. Before we get into what monitoring data can do for your site, let’s break down what a digital customer journey really is.
What is a digital customer journey?
A digital customer journey is a series of online touchpoints that your customers go through when interacting with your business. A digital experience analytics (DXA) platform captures user behavior and provides actionable insights that a run-of-the-mill service won’t, and at a faster pace.. This data then creates a snapshot of your customer’s digital journey, which involves these essential stages:
Awareness.
Awareness is the stage where a user first interacts with your website or app. Quantum Metric’s unique web and mobile analytics platform provides accurate customer journey mapping and session capture, monitoring each move a customer makes. Every scroll, click, or user submission, you’ll know which features are grabbing user attention and keeping it there.
Interactions.
Now that you have your customers’ attention, you should know how they’re moving across your website. Do they stay on one, content-heavy product page, scrolling up and down, browsing for what they want to purchase? Or, are they toggling between two different pages for price comparison?
With Quantum Metric, you can track every touchpoint of the user journey, collecting customer behavior data that relates most to business performance. Then, with tools like session replay and journey mapping, you’ll find friction points in your digital customer journey.
Test solutions and reduce friction to produce an optimal customer experience for higher satisfaction and increased conversions. That’s what you can do with the right customer journey analytics platform.
Conversion.
This stage in your customer’s digital journey is where they make their final decision, like making a purchase or submitting their email address. Using a digital journey analytics platform, you can follow your customers from the home page to checkout and analyze how long their decision took and what touchpoints they went through to get there.
With this level of detailed information, you can craft strategies that will greatly enhance the customer experience, whether through new features, personalized campaigns, or seamless journey optimizations.
What’s important is that you have a digital customer journey analytics platform that gives the valuable insights you need to monitor and improve every stage of your customer journey.
3 key considerations when picking a digital experience analysis platform.
How can you shape the future of your business with a DXA system? It’s all in the details.
Here are a few essential things to consider when choosing a digital journey analytics platform to shape your domain or app’s future:
Seamlessly capture data.
Users enjoy Quantum Metric for our all-in-one data capturing features. Described as ‘full-stack’, our exclusive DXA platform captures all incoming, past, or future interactions that a user might experience across various pages within your domain.
Why is capturing real-time user data important? It enhances your experience as a domain owner. With our data-capturing tools, you have access to an entire dashboard of customizable analytics, which, when set up, will showcase all your most important metrics in one click.
No searching for hidden information or scouring your sight to find that one event that could change everything.
A great way to enhance your experience, in addition to that of the average user is to leverage our session replay tools. Session replay gives you the ability to watch previous users’ sessions and see how they interact with your site.
You can then uncover user friction points in your website that could be holding it back from its full potential. You’ll be shown every flag-for-review interaction our platform wants you to see.
Integrate without hesitation.
If you’re currently using other monitoring tools to capture necessary user data, you can seamlessly integrate them with any Quantum Metric DXA tool and streamline your data net for a full look at journey analytics.
The goal is to speed up growth intentionally without overloading your plate. So, simplify the data capturing process by connecting your existing VOC or analytics system to Quantum Metric’s multi-use analysis tool and watch the actionable data flow in droves.
Use AI the right way.
In a short amount of time, AI has become commonplace. It’s far from the days of being a simple addition to search engines. It can help predict the user journey from conception to purchase, granting businesses a closer, more refined relationship with their customers.
We use AI to predict where a domain, or in this case, a user, might go next. With this tool, you can build a case study around a particular user’s journey and shape your next business goal (site improvements, increased revenue, etc) around their next click.
AI allows business owners to dive deeper into the customer journey by offering these exceptional benefits:
- Predictive analytics: This is data that shows the full user pathway before you’ve carved out the time to do so. Quickly, you can get an at-a-glance overview of where users might be experiencing burnout and form actionable solutions based on that prediction.
- Quick response times: It takes hard work and long hours to collect, assess, and utilize UX data. With an automated collection tool, you get to the solutions you need to create real change faster.
- Limited bias: If you’re not making any progress, it could be that you’re focusing on the wrong data. AI tools accurately display the information you need to create the most impactful change, so you don’t waste time toying around with minuscule issues.
Quantum Metric helps provide a full view of the past, present, and future of your digital customer journey analytics. We don't just look at the current state of your e-commerce or commercial platform to see how it’s moving. We want to know what it will look like in 3 months, 6 months, and for those who want the most detailed reports, a year.
Where other AI tools may be more concerned with gathering general information than dissecting the UX, Quantum Metric’s Felix AI follows and summarizes a user’s journey, giving you the details worth mentioning so you can start rebuilding from the inside out.
What makes Quantum Metric’s Felix AI different from other predictive tools? It’s quicker, built for a larger number of moving parts, and you can integrate it with your current workflows for simultaneous capturing and even more user insights into your product’s user experience.
