What does Home Builder Data do with my Google Analytics data?
Home Builder Data generates reports for our customers, like you, containing the aggregate totals of the data we collect. These reports may be static or interactive based upon the subscription level of the customer. Your Google Analytics data is never redistributed in any form that identifies the data as belonging to your organization, nor is it saved in such a way that would make that possible.
How does sharing my data with Home Builder Data benefit me and my organization?
The reports you receive from Home Builder Data provide an excellent view of how our industry is performing; providing perspective beyond that of just your organization's account. Common insights include:
- Your traffic increased/decreased over a period of time. Did other builders see the same shift?
- Is the event limited to your organization, or is this a larger shift in consumer behavior?
- One of your market areas has not seen traffic growth like you expected. Have other builders experienced traffic growth in that region?
- Is your conversion rate over or under your market's average? The national average?
Home Builder Data provides you a perspective previously unavailable to anyone in the home building industry, and it does so in a manner that keeps your data protected.
