Hi, is it possible calculate Dwell Time in Adobe Analytics?

 

I created a metric with time spent per visit divided by visits but it doesn't work.

 

Thanks

What is your definition of "Dwell Time"?

Hi Jennifer
Dwell Time is the amount of time that a searcher spends in search engine's result pages starting from the search result, clicks on a page, and returns back to the SERPs. (the page with the results).

You can try this:

In a freeform table, include your eVar or prop that tracks your search term. Then add the Average Time on Site metric. Despite its "on Site" name, this metric really reports the average time based on the dimension in your table, i.e. your search terms. See https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/analytics/components/metrics/average-time-on-site.html?lang=en for more information about how it is calculated.


I'm going to propose this option, thank you.
