Hi,

I’m trying to track my GD webiste via google analytics but am not sure what my search query parameters are.

An example is as follows:

“https://lateopens.com/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&sgd_placecategory%5B%5D=35&s=TESTING%21%21%21%21&snear=&set_location_type=3&set_location_val=1&gdas-range=51&sgeo_lat=&sgeo_lon=”

Any idea what I should be keying in to Google Analytics as a Query Parameter?

I haven’t done that before, but it looks like you enter all the params like

geo_lat
geo_lon
etc

Thank you for the reply.

Would you happen to know what is captured by “geodir_search” and “set_location_type” parameters?

geodir_search=1 just lets GD know its a GD search and not a different WP search.

set_location_type=1 = its a country search
set_location_type=2 = its a regions search
set_location_type=3 = its a city search

Hi Stiofan,

Thanks for the reply.

I would like to capture place category, search term, location selected, lat and lon. Are the following parameters the right ones to track on Google Analytics?

sgd_placecategory%5B%5D,s,set_location_val,sgeo_lat,sgeo_lon
