Google Merchandise Store: Where Traffic Converts

Solo project Β· Data & channel analysis

AnalyticsAttributionCRO

Challenge

Paid Search drove steady traffic, but the team needed to know which channels actually converted.

Insight

Paid Search ranked third in visits but contributed only a small share of revenue β€” Direct and Organic Search led both traffic and sales.

Recommendations

  • Rebuild Paid Search landing pages to match user intent and shorten checkout.
  • Reinvest in the channels already outperforming β€” organic content and loyalty email.
