Lifetime Value Google Analytics – Part 4

PART-4

So, we’ve discussed most of the terms, graphs that we would like to apply in our real time managed projects in my previous blog. Now, let’s move on to one of the term highlighted in Google analytics i.e. Lifetime Value.

Customer Lifetime Value Google Analytics

Basically it is about tracking customer Lifetime’s Value. It is a prediction of the value a customer will have over their lifetime with your company or brand. It will make you understand how different users are valuable to your business based on lifetime performance.

With customer’s lifetime value you can determine a profitable allocation of marketing resources to the acquisition of those users.

To get high value users, you can compare the customer’s lifetime values through organic search to see which method will bring the high value users.

To see Lifetime Value Report in Google Analytics you can go through these steps:
