Report on a Google Analytics custom dimension on landing page only

I have a large website and am using content grouping to group pages by template type.

On our country pages (template is country), we show a lead image chosen randomly from a small set.

We'd like to look at user engagement by lead image for users landing on a country page, so we can investigate if certain types of image lead to higher engagement.

I'm planning to use a hit-scope custom dimension to track the url of the lead image and report on this by template - but I'm not sure how to filter this to landing hits only, or if doing so will be reliable.

What's your question? Heads up: If you have a large website and use content grouping, you will be subjected to sampling, which might make your data quite inaccurate: support.google.com/analytics/answer/2637192?hl=en. I advise use to check the data accuracy by pulling out data on several small date ranges, and comparing it with data pulled over 1 large range covering the same dates to see if data can be trusted. – Max

Im not sure i fully understand what you are asking but if you want to know how can you consume content groping opened by a custom dimension on Google Analytics you need a custom report and you ll need to add a metric too.

enter image description here

In the image the first column is a custom dimension. The second one is my content groping and i was forced to add a metric too.

Hope it helps.
