Writing A Google Web Analytics Report Summary With AI

Analyzing monthly metrics for website traffic is crucial if you want to attract more users and visitors to your product.

Every month, Google shares a Google Analytics web traffic summary insights on your website performance. Think of impressions, clicks, where visits are coming from, and more. AI enables you to quickly understand this information and turn it into a summary that can be used as research for future website tasks.

Throughout this article, we explain how you can turn the information in the monthly website visits from Google Analytics into actionable and concise summaries. All in just minutes of work. Want to see it in action? Just follow the walkthrough below.

Step 1: Forward Google updates to your Bash email

Copy the email address associated with your Bash account to receive Google Reports in Bash. You can find the address by going to “Feeds” and clicking on “Copy email”.

Once you have your Bash email address you can either set automatic forwarding or manually forward Google Analytics updates to your Bash inbox.

Step 2: Turn the Google Report into a summary & fine-tune

Forwarded emails appear in the work feed under the section named “Email”. Select the Google Analytics email that you just forwarded to yourself and click on the dropdown in the top right corner of your view. Instead of a suggested template, select "other".

From the template gallery, select the "Summary" template. You can personalize the output by tone, audience, persona, and language. There is also an additional input box where you can further customize the prompt associated with the template.

Once the summary has been generated you can fine-tune your content with the in-app editor. Add more insights or make changes by using the “/” command. Bash generates new insights or makes changes based on your prompt commands.

To create a new topic, go to the top of the view and write a title for your topic.
