So What Insights Did We Glean from the Data?
12
Overlooked Parts of the Site?
• Coming Exhibitions• Ranked 15th of all visited pages• Not in the dominate visitor flow path• Have a suspicion that the left-hand sided “Exhibition” link
has something to do with this issue• Could be a missed opportunity
• Learn Section• Overall pageviews for family programs, adult programs, and
other learning programs are low compared to other parts of the site. Would have to examine if this is a cause for concern.
• St. Petersburg Arts & Entertainment Pass• Ranked 17th of all visited pages

Why Worry about High Bounce Rates?
• Bounce rate definition: The percentage of single-page visits on a particular page. So after seeing the one page, the visitor left your site.
• A high bounce rate generally indicates that the page isn’t engaging your visitor, for whatever reason (i.e., content, navigation, etc.).
• In particular, it’s important that your landing pages are engaging visitors so that they stay on your site and convert to whatever goal you are seeking.
16
So What Can We Infer from These High Bounce Rates?

Navigation Structure on the Site Could Be the Issue

How Could We Know for Sure That This is the Case?
19
In-Page Analytics• A report that displays your
actual pages – just as they look to users – with a click-level indicator next to each link.
• It’s great at revealing how your real customers are experiencing your website.
• You can use it as an inspiration to optimize the website through simple experiments with layout, content, and navigation.
20
Internal Search• It refers to when someone visits your website and
uses its Search feature to find information. • Internal search data can yield an understanding of
customer intent and help improve customer experience. It can provide you great clues as to what is broken.
• You’ll want to:• Measure internal search site usage metrics by setting it up
on Google Analytics.• Report on the top internal site search key phrases (ex. Top
20-25).• Use in-page analytics to see where people click after
internal search results pull up. Check to see if there are high exit rates from page.
21
Don’t Forget Museum Visitors
• While most clickstream data only shows you what happened on your website, surveying museum visitors who have visited your site can tell you why something happened on your site. Visitors insights are critical to any website redesign.
• Your survey will allow you to measure visitor satisfaction and to see if the museum’s website was influential in the visitor’s decision to visit the museum – or in recommending the museum to others.
• If you don’t go the museum customer survey route, A/B testing or multivariate testing can help test the user-experience on your website. But you won’t know for sure if the website has influenced a site visitor to come to the museum.

Summary• Coming Exhibitions is getting a bit lost in the shuffle.
• The Learning Section with special visitor programs doesn’t get a ton of traffic compared to other parts of the site.
• St. Petersburg Arts & Entertainment Pass page may be another missed opportunity.
• High bounce rates on the site’s category pages and landing pages may signal that the site’s navigation needs to be optimized.
