We shall find affinities of this user group.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Affinity: <\/strong>For this we will expand <strong>Age &gt; <\/strong><strong>\u00a0Secondary Dimension, Within Secondary dimension, type \u201cAffinity\u201d.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Now you can see the categories associated to your 1<sup>st<\/sup> personas age group and gender. Google Analytics uses different types of factors such as browsing history, time on page, and then associates this with a ready-made user profile (i.e. \u2018shoppers\u2019, \u2018technophiles\u2019, \u2018foodies\u2019, \u2018music lovers\u2019). Note down a few of the top affinities.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>In-Market: <\/strong>This helps us to know what kind of products your audience actively compares and researches.\u00a0For this, within <strong>Secondary dimension, type \u201cIn-Market Segment\u201d.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Note Down a few of the top products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:\u00a0<\/strong>If you navigate to <strong>Audience&gt;Geo&gt;Location<\/strong>.

We can put it all together in a neat template to finally create a persona profile. The template you use to represent your persona can be designed by yourself if you have the right resources.<\/p>\n<p>If not, no worries, there are a wide variety of free and paid templates online you can use you to represent your persona data. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/persona.qcri.org\/blog\/how-to-create-a-buyer-persona-with-the-hubspot-persona-tool\/\">How to Create a Buyer Persona with the HubSpot Persona Tool<\/a> walks you through using the free HubSpot persona template and looks something like this:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_832\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-832\" style=\"width: 895px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-832\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/persona.qcri.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/sam_hubspot_persona.jpg?resize=895%2C513&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Example Hubspot Persona\" width=\"895\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/persona.qcri.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/sam_hubspot_persona.jpg?w=895&amp;ssl=1 895w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/persona.qcri.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/sam_hubspot_persona.jpg?resize=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/persona.qcri.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/sam_hubspot_persona.jpg?resize=768%2C440&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 895px) 100vw, 895px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-832\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Example Hubspot Persona<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/persona.qcri.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">APG<\/a>, automatic persona generation, can also create rich personas from Google Analytics data, based first on behaviors and then adding the demographics.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: NonBreakingSpaceOverride, 'Hoefler Text', Garamond, 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; font-size: 21px;\">Repeat the above steps for different age groups and gender to create a few more personas.<\/span>Now you can conduct a segmentation analysis for any web data metric based of personas by filtering in details specific to your persona type.<\/p>\n<p>For example, for a metric like bounce rate.

Since Samuel is our 1<sup>st<\/sup> persona and represent the user that uses our website the most, we need to understand why our most valuable customer bounced.<\/p>\n<p>Additional filters like first time visitor or re-visitor could help us come to some conclusion for their bounce rates.<\/p>\n<p>You may add additional segments if you wish to compare different types of personas.<\/p>\n<p>There you have it; this is one way you can conduct a persona using segment analytics in Google Analytics using web analytics data.<\/p>\n<h2>More about APG?<\/h2>\n<p>Jung, S., An, J., Kwak, H., Ahmad, M., Nielsen, L., and\u00a0Jansen, B.
