What can you measure with Fresh Analytics?

Peak time views

Fresh shows exactly what times of day your intranet is most visited.

With this information, you can smartly plan when to publish news releases, updates or campaigns. You reach employees when they are active, which increases the likelihood that your message will be seen and read.

Top tools view

Instantly see which tools are most used within your intranet, Fresh displays a top 10 most clicked applications. Consider commonly used links such as templates, ideas board and employee surveys.

You gain insight into what employees really need in their daily work. This allows you to better position popular tools and put little-used tools under the microscope: are they still relevant, or do they deserve more visibility?

Page views

See how many page views your intranet generates in total, and which pages are most (or least) visited.

These numbers show you which content is performing well and which pages may need attention. You can make targeted choices in which information you continue to develop and which parts may need to be simplified or moved.

Engagement

Discover the 10 best-performing news stories and content pages, based on views, likes and comments.

This gives you insight into what employees find interesting or relevant. You immediately see which topics catch on and can capitalize on them in your content strategy, creating more valuable interaction on your intranet.

Search behavior

Fresh analyzes what employees search for, which suggestions they click on and which searches yield no results.

That way you’ll discover where information is missed or hard to find. If certain searches do not yield any results, you know that your content or navigation needs to be adjusted accordingly. A good search experience increases satisfaction and use of your intranet.

Why this data is essential to your intranet strategy

It’s not just about collecting numbers, but more importantly about understanding your employees’ behavior and preferences. Analyzing this data will give you a clear picture of what works and what doesn’t, allowing you to make targeted decisions to optimize the user experience and increase the effectiveness of your intranet.

For example: When you see that certain searches are not producing results, you know there is a need for that information and can quickly supplement it. In addition, you can discover when your contributors are most active, so you can post key messages at the right time for maximum visibility. It also gives you insight into which pages or content are not performing well, so you can improve immediately.
