Traffic analysis: where clients come from and where they are lost

Analytics is installed on almost every site, yet decisions are still made on gut feeling: which channel actually brings buyers, what a lead costs, at which step people vanish. A traffic analysis turns Metrica data into answers — and into budget decisions you can defend with numbers.

In short

A traffic analysis reviews sources, behaviour, funnel and conversions using Metrica data. ZXY delivers a report with budget decisions in 4 days, from 15 000 RUB.

How it works

Sources and channels

Search, ads, social, direct: visits versus enquiries per channel.

Funnel

The path to an enquiry: at which step how many people drop.

Goals and conversions

Goal settings verified, cost per lead by channel.

Budget decisions

Where to add budget, where to cut — with figures.

What a traffic analysis gives

Three answers every owner needs. First — which channels bring not just visits but enquiries: search, advertising, social, referrals and direct are compared by conversion, not by traffic share; the usual surprise is that the "loudest" channel is not the most profitable. Second — what a lead costs per channel, so budgets move to where a client is cheaper. Third — where the funnel leaks: pages with heavy traffic but no conversions are marked with the specific step and the number of lost visitors. The report ends with decisions, not observations: keep, grow, cut, fix.

Analytics settings audit

About 60% of sites we open have broken analytics: goals fire on empty submits, the thank-you page is missing, internal traffic pollutes the data, ad tags double-count. Decisions made on such numbers are worse than no numbers. We audit the whole measurement layer first: goal definitions, e-commerce events, UTM discipline, tag integrity, cross-domain links. Everything broken is either fixed immediately or listed with instructions — because every further conclusion is only as good as the data underneath it. The audit itself often explains "strange" numbers the team argued about for months.

Funnel and leak points

We assemble the funnel from entry to enquiry and show the drop per step: how many saw the price, how many opened the form, how many submitted. Each bottleneck gets context — session recordings and click maps of the exact pages — so it is clear whether the leak is caused by price presentation, form friction, missing trust signals or slow load. The same lens is applied per channel: often one channel pours traffic into a funnel that another channel's audience simply does not fit. The result is a short list of leak points ranked by recoverable enquiries.

Report and the quarterly plan

The deliverable is a document your team can act on: channel economics with cost per lead, the funnel with leak points, goal settings fixed or flagged, and a quarter plan — which pages to rework, which channels to scale, which experiments to run. Everything is walked through in a one-hour session with your team, where we explain conclusions and agree on the numbers to track next. A month later we can re-cut the report and show what the decisions changed — analytics becomes a routine of managed growth, not a quarterly scare.

Cost and timelines

Traffic analysis — from 15 000 RUB: analytics audit, funnel, channels, report and session in 4 working days. Extended with end-to-end analytics and a CRM link (what happened to enquiries after the sale) — from 28 000 RUB, 6–7 days. Ongoing monthly analytics with a dashboard and report — from 12 000 RUB/mo. Goal repairs and settings — from 5 000 RUB. We work with Yandex Metrica, Google Analytics 4, Yandex Direct and VK ad accounts, and CRM exports.

Why ZXY

We read analytics as people who also build sites and run campaigns: we know which metrics actually drive money and which are vanity. Every conclusion in the report is verifiable — goals, segments and dashboards are handed over so you can re-derive each number yourself. We do not sell traffic: the analysis serves your budget, not our ad fees, which is why clients use it to audit their current contractors as well. And if the data layer is broken, we fix it in the same engagement — no "come back when analytics works".

Frequently asked questions

How much does a traffic analysis cost?

From 15 000 RUB: analytics audit, funnel, channels, report and a session in 4 days. Extended with CRM linkage — from 28 000 RUB. Ongoing analytics — from 12 000 RUB/mo.

Which data is needed for the analysis?

View access to Yandex Metrica (or GA4), ad cabinets if ads run, and CRM deal exports if you want enquiries tied to sales. Nothing else — we pull and clean the rest.

What if Metrica goals are set up incorrectly?

That is the norm, not the exception: we fix the settings first (from 5 000 RUB) and only then draw conclusions — otherwise the report would inherit the errors.

How is this different from a contractor's report?

A contractor reports on their own channel; we audit all channels against each other and the funnel, with access to raw data. Many clients use it as an independent second opinion.

Can enquiries be tied to sales?

Yes, in the extended version: CRM exports are matched with sources, so revenue per channel and real cost per client are visible, not just cost per lead.

What happens after the report?

You get decisions and a quarter plan. We can also run monthly analytics with a dashboard and report — or re-cut the analysis in a month to verify the effect of changes.
