          We have a client who has been searching high and low to gain access to the GA account that is tied to their website, but previous agencies keep stating they don't have access. Is there a way to find out who the admins are on a GA account with the tracking number so we can reach out to that person and ask them to admin the client?

              Hi,

              I don't know whether your issue resolved or not by following either of above suggestion. This time I am sharing a Googler's post on exact issue. Please have a look.

                  Have you tried searching the account number to see what other websites (if any) are using that account? If you client's UA number does not end in a -1 then there is a good chance whomever made the site used the same account for all of the work they did, including their own site.

                    Try to contact somebody at Google - best way to access them is via Adwords; if you still have access to the Adwords account you can try the contact us under the help function. A good how to can be found here: http://www.brettasnyder.com/blog/reclaim-google-analytics-account-access/ (not sure if all the steps are still possible).

                    Alternative is try to call Google Adwords directly - phone numbers are here https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/1385067?hl=en-GB&authuser=0 or probably even better - if you know somebody at Google - try to get some help from him.

                    Hope this helps,

                    Dirk

                      Hi,

                      I don't think there is a way to find out who the admin is since Google is not providing an option for that at the moment.  However, if you have an Account Rep for Adwords or any Google products, you can contact that person and your rep should be able to direct you to the right person.  If not, you can always reach out to [email protected] and they should be able to help you contact the admin since they're not able to provide you with the email due to privacy issues.

                      Hope this helps.

                        Attribution of conversions to payment gateway in Google Analytics

                        Hi all, We have been having a problem for a while now where most transactions are attributed to referrals from our payment gateway Sagepay. The issue started a couple of months ago, when we finally upgraded our website to https:// for logged in users and transactions. Before, when we were using http://, transactions were attributed to the correct channel. Even weirder, we upgraded 4 websites and only 2 of them have the issue now, the other two continue to attribute transactions correctly. I added Sagepay to the referral exclusion list which made no difference. Over the weekend, we upgraded to the global site tag and it seems to have improved somewhat, but yesterday 50% of transactions were still attributed to referral/sagepay. I am also seeing an odd issue, where for half of the transactions, the revenue and transaction are attributed to one channel, but the products (quantity) are attributed to another. One of the channels is always referral/sagepay and the other is the channel that the transaction should be attributed to. Has anyone seen this issue before? I'd appreciate any tips that might help us fix this issue. Thanks in advance!

                        What is Local SEO in Google Analytics (Organic Source)

                        Recently, I saw "Local SEO" is mentioned as the organic source. Can someone please tell what is this and from where Google is fetching data for this source?

                        How does Google Maps/G+ traffic show up in Analytics?

                        Hi Moz Community, I've been trying to figure out how traffic from Google Maps (and G+) shows up in Google Analytics and am struggling to find a good answer online. If someone finds a business through Google Maps and then clicks on the website in the Maps listing, does that show up as a referral from Google Maps? Our site shows virtually zero traffic from Google Maps even though we have a number of listing. Two related questions: if someone clicks through to a G+ page from a Maps result and then visits our website from the G+ page, does that show up in Analytics as a referral from G+? Is traffic from Google Maps or G+ ALSO counted as organic traffic? (Would it be possible to accidentally double-count a visit as both organic and a referral from Maps/G+? Thanks everybody!

                        How can I use Google Analytics to detect users viewing my website on a TV?

                        I want to see in Google Analytics whether or not people are viewing my website on a TV, such as with a smart TV or other device connected to their TV. These are the only ways to do this that I have found so far: Operating system: Google TV, Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3, Xbox Browser: Nintendo Browser, Playstation 3 Are there other data points that I can reliably use to segment these users?

                        Hi, I am trying to see which of my Google organic keywords triggered my goals? In GA I click > Conversion > Goals > Overview > Source Medium (This then says where my goals came from but when I click Google / Organic it just brings me to the overview page of my organic traffic). Is it possible to see which organic keywords trigger goals?

                        How to remove unwanted dynamic parameters from a URL in Google Analytics

                        Hi, Would really appreciate some help with this. I have been experimenting with RegEx to achieve this but as I’ve never used it before am currently failing miserably. We have conversion pages i need to set goals for that are formatted as below: https://www.domain.co.uk//Application_Form/(S(ewhbqp5cki0mppuzukunkqno))/enterCardDetails.aspx I need to remove the (s(xxx)) section from the URL as rather than one pages i currently have thousands of unique URL's. What’s catching me out is that as it’s not a URL parameter I can’t discount and as half way through can’t just do head matches etc to /entercarddetails Help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

                        Hello, I manage a site with visitors from many different countries. With Google Analytics, it is normal to see the number of visitors from each search engine. However, I would like to identify the number of visitors from each Google-search contry domain. How many visitors from Google.com? How many from Google.co.uk. And from Google.co.zm? And so on. Anybody knows if this is possible and if yes, how can it be done? Thank you in advance, Dario
