Google Analytics - Goal Funnel Setup with Dynamic Urls

votes

I've setup an goal funnel with dynamic urls in Google Analytics, but I am not sure if I did it correclty.

Funnel Steps:

  1. Home Page, ^/
  2. Pick First, ^/compare
  3. Pick Second, ^/compare/([^/]+)/
  4. Compare, ^/compare/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/

The goal-URL is (regex) ^/go/.* which is a redirect link, for e.g. www.domain.com/go/comparedcompany

Any help is appreciated

Have you tested it out and did you see any conversion, either in you standard reports or in real time? – nyuen
Yes, I ran some tests but there are no conversions at all. Any hint? – TobiasDalhof

I would actually reconfigure your regexes as follows:

Step 1: ^\/$

Step 2: ^\/compare$

Step 3: ^\/compare\/.*\/$

Step 4: ^\/compare\/.*\/.*\/$

Goal: ^\/go\/.*

(Also, as a note, using GA's regex engine, you don't need to escape your slashes, but I normally do it anyway.)

The reason why I went with .* instead of [^/]+ is because you probably won't get a page like /compare// (if you do, then you have other things to worry about :-P).
