How to use Google Analytics for a floor plan

Using Google Analytics will allow you to see useful information such as which exhibitors are more popular, what pages and booths get clicked on, etc. Organizers and exhibitors can both benefit from collecting attendee activity.

Google Analytics can track important data from your attendees:

  • Clicks on your expo URL, booths, exhibitor profiles and categories
  • Clicks on the phone number, email, website, social media, galleries and action buttons
  • Locations, languages, devices, OS and browsers of your attendees

How to use Google Analytics for your floor plan

You will need to create an account with Google Analytics. Set it to measure a website and add https://expofp.com as the website URL.

You will get a tracking ID.
