Analyzing visitor profiles

March 6, 2023

Definition

Profiles are at the heart of Marketing Factory, displaying all the information collected about a visitor in a single place:

  • Properties (name, age, gender, job, etc.).
  • Analytics / behavior (achieved goals, visits, pages viewed, etc.).
  • Profiling information (using interests, scoring methods, etc.).
Please note that the profiles are shared across sites (or scope).

General knowledge on the profile page

The profile page is divided in 5 parts:

  • The header, where it is possible to refresh the page, delete the profile, copy the profile as persona or access the current help page
  • The left card, displaying the most important data
  • The properties tab
  • The analytics (could also be called behavior) tab
  • The profiling tab

Goals, campaigns and sessions

Profiling

The profiling tab displays :

  • Interests
  • Scores on scoring plans : it is here possible to define a "score modifier". The score modifier doesn't set the value to the score, but will be added to the current score of the visitor. It can be set to a negative value if needed.
  • Dynamic Segments
