  • Predictive Audiences – a purchase probability metric that can help create audiences who will most likely buy on a website within the next 7 days. It also has a churn probability where you can see the audience who will not likely visit the website within the next 7 days. These data are now available in the Audience Builder.
  • Analysis Module – a data analysis metrics for marketing campaigns. One highlight of this update is the User Lifetime Technique which identifies the campaign that has the highest purchase probability.

The process uses Google’s advanced prediction capacity. So,  Google Analytics requires the following for an account to have them available:

  • At least 1,000 users with positive and negative purchase examples;
