Abstract

With the rapid development of the web and the growth in volume of business that companies make online, web analytics are gaining in importance. The purpose of the research presented in this paper was to determine the extent to which web analytics are used in Slovenia, which web analytics tool is most widely used and how the results of web analytics affect the operations of small and medium-sized enterprises in Slovenia. The survey was carried out on the basis of an online questionnaire, which was forwarded to 1000 companies at the end of 2017. The survey involved 199 respondents, of whom 158 fully or partially completed the survey. The results of the survey show that web analytics in small and medium-sized enterprises in Slovenia is not yet as developed as expected. Most businesses have employees who are only partially engaged in web analytics. It turned out that certain expectations with the launch of the web analytics were greater than the actual results.
