Hi,
I'm trying to build a sequential segment that includes onsite search exits.
I was expecting to achieve the result with this segment:
VISIT container
hit 1: internal search exits
THEN within 1 pageview
exit page exists.
However, the data is far too high and if I build a fallout report, I can see a much greater share of visitors who search to then navigate to a range of site sections.
Do you have any tips?
Thank you.
Maybe it's a problem with "within 1 pageview"? (since exits are hits, but not PVs)
Have you tried "within 1 hit"?
You also have to be careful what metric you use with the segments, since the segment is "visit" level
Here is what I tried (note that I track "page type" values, and I used that as my identifier):
And when I used it, I had to make sure I paired it with the "exit" metric, or the numbers were huge if I used "Page Views" or "Occurrences", but if I looked only at "Exits" in this scenario, this looks correct (based on a quick correlation):
Not knowing how you have "internal search" setup, I can't replicate an exact rule for your datasets, but hopefully seeing this will help you build something equivalent.
Good luck.
