Understanding discrepancies between Google Analytics and Kajabi Analytics
Why are there differences between Google Analytics and Kajabi Analytics?
Although both analytics work similarly, slight discrepancies are expected when comparing tracking statistics of different services.
This is due to differences in how the tracking cookies are configured.
Most page trackers use cookies and though they are implemented similarly, the way they track page views may differ from one another.
A great example of how different trackers may count page views is if you were to refresh a page multiple times with a few seconds in between. Depending on how the tracker is configured, each page refresh may be counted as a unique page view whereas another tracker may count it as just one single page view.
See below for more information on Google and Kajabi Analytics behavior:
Google Analytics behavior:
Refer to Google's documentation for complete information on Google Analytics behavior.
Kajabi Analytics behavior:
Unique views are the count per unique person, computer, or mobile device who viewed the page. If the same person viewed the page, it will be not counted as a Unique View.
On Kajabi, views are the total number of times the page is viewed. This includes multiple visits by the same person, including page refreshes.
