Google Analytics widgets can be filtered by page, allowing you to show specific, granular data to your clients. Use our filters to show exact matches, or search for pages that contain a specific word or phrase.
Using the Basic Pages Filter
In edit mode, add a Google Analytics widget to your dashboard or report, then click on the widget to expand the Edit Widget menu on the right.
Next, click the Data tab of the Edit Widget menu, then scroll until you find the Page filter. Click the page filter to see our filter options.
Click the filter to open the dropdown list, then either scroll or use the search field to find the pages you're looking for. Next, click the boxes next to the pages you'd like to include in this widget.
Once selected, the widget will update to display data for only the selected pages.
Using the Advanced Pages Filter
The advanced page filter is a "contains" filter, meaning it searches for pages that contain what you enter in the filter field.
After adding a widget to your dashboard or report, click the Data tab of the Edit Widget menu, then scroll until you find the Page filter.
Choose one of the advanced filter options (contains, does not contain, matches regex, and does not match regex). Once selected, click the field, then enter the word or path of your choosing to activate the filter.
In the example below, the widget on the left has been updated to display data relevant to pages whose URLs contain/cosmetics.
How you enter the word or path will change the data displayed in the widget. In the example below, we use only the word cosmetics. This results in a different set of pages being returned, as more pages than just the two above contain the word "cosmetics" when the forward slash is removed.
FAQ
Why am I seeing a "Maximum filter size reached" error?
Google's API limits the total size of page URL filters to 5,000 characters across all selected pages. If your selected page URLs exceed this combined limit, you'll see a "Maximum filter size reached" error and the filter won't apply.
This is a Google API limitation that AgencyAnalytics cannot override. To resolve it, reduce the number of pages selected in the filter. Longer URLs use more of the character allowance, so you may hit the limit with fewer pages if your URLs are long.
If you need to track a large number of pages, consider using the advanced Contains filter instead, entering a shared path or keyword that covers the relevant pages without selecting them individually.
