Each Data Studio dashboard shows this site's traffic from the College's network. They are useful live operations tools and with distinct privilege settings can be securely located on the College Intranet. They are very useful to business development staff because live performance dashboards provide high quality business/fundraising leads. They are also good for students on relevant courses to be introduced to via the College VLE.

All three of these examples of Data Studio pretty much speak for themselves. The Top 100 Visitors table shows Colleges with the most time on the website, the most visits to the website, the most visitors, most pages viewed, highest average time on the website, highest average number of visits, and highest average number of pages viewed. These are this site's high-probability B2B leads. The Colleges and LA Adult & Community Education Units, that discern the most value from visiting this website.

The Page & Visitor Filtering version simply shows the content of most value to each interested current or potential client or agency.

The four Colleges that take top spots for most time viewing, the most visits, most visitors, and the most pages viewed are:

• The College of Animal Welfare with just over 1 hour 53 minutes on the website!
  (I attended workshops at South Essex College, and Havering College is full of interested friends so have been excluded)
• Basingstoke College of Technology with 12 individual visitors to the website.
• Both East Durham College and Loughborough College have visited 18 times.
• And Loughborough College have viewed 70 pages!

May 2019 Alexa Website Traffic Rankings

https://www.collegewebsites.ac.uk/latest-data-reports/may-2019-alexa-rankings

1. City of Glasgow College (£90,044,000)
2. Warwickshire College Group (£53,844,000)
3. Peter Symonds College (£22,698,466)
4. Glasgow Clyde College (£49,195,000)
5. City Literary Institute (£18,666,000)

Larger Colleges out perform in site visitors but smaller Colleges, whether by specialising or by practicing more effective strategic recruitment, retention and engagement, when located in the upper quartile are overperforming. Is your student retention offer publicised on VLE login pages? I'll include all the examples of best practice in a report for June.
