Description
The Authors Tracking addon connects Analytify to Google Analytics at the author level, recording individual metrics for each WordPress writer such as sessions, page views, average time, and traffic source of authored posts. Designed for multi-author blogs, digital newsrooms, and online magazines, it displays author-segmented reports directly in the WordPress dashboard, without needing to open the Google Analytics console to manually cross-reference data.
Main Features
- Author reports: shows individualized statistics for each user with publishing permission inside the Analytify dashboard.
- Detailed metrics: collects sessions, views, bounce rate, and average visit duration on posts authored by each writer.
- WordPress integrated dashboard: adds a dedicated authors tab within Analytify reports, no need to access Google Analytics.
- Date range filter: allows comparing author performance over specific periods such as week, month, or quarter.
- Logged-in author dashboard: each writer sees only their own numbers in admin, according to WordPress capability level.
Authors Tracking Benefits
- Informed editorial decisions: identifies which authors generate more traffic and engagement to guide content planning.
- Productivity assessment: measures the real impact of each writer on site audience results.
- Internal transparency: gives authors visibility into how their texts perform, encouraging continuous improvements.
- Time savings: eliminates the need to create manual segments or custom dashboards in Google Analytics.
Who Is It For?
- Blogs and news portals with multiple authors and columnists.
- Digital newsrooms, online magazines, and media outlets evaluating editorial performance.
- Content agencies and companies that measure freelancer writer performance.
Ideal for multi-author sites needing to monitor each writer’s individual performance clearly, turning Google Analytics data into practical editorial insights directly within WordPress.
