Introduction
The following information is being provided to support a request for programming support from a qualified firm/individual with deep Google Analytics programming interface skills and experience.
About Development Results
Development Results (DR) is a LLC providing web metrics, data and research to the economic development profession. One of DR’s main product offerings is the provision of monthly reports on client’s website statistics as well as quarterly benchmark data comparing their metrics against others in the database.
Background
When DR was founded, clients were set up using script tags. The reports were constructed using database development tools and Crystal Reports. With the advent of Google Analytics (GA) and their opening of their application programming interface (API), it has been determined that the benchmark reports need to be reconstructed using standard database tools.
This Project
The selected programming firm will need to develop a programming interface to extract certain data from a client’s website and to aggregate these datasets and develop a reporting structure for aggregated data across all clients. The statistics needing to be covered in the report documents include (A sample of this report may be found on the following page):
-Visits
-Source of Visits
-Document Downloads
-Contact page views
