Article Summary
The Profile Activity page collects several types of traffic analytics measuring your product’s performance on G2, enabling you to track activity changes over time and compare your traffic to your competitors.
Viewing your G2 activity
To view your traffic data, go to my.G2, then Analytics > Profile Activity. Traffic is displayed based on your selected timeframe. Select a default option, or enter a Custom date range.
Directional arrows and adjacent percentages indicate how your traffic has changed over time.
The percent change is relative to the timeframe you select. For example, if you select a 30-day timeframe, G2 compares the traffic for the current 30-day interval to the previous 30-day interval.
If you select a custom timeframe, G2 calculates the number of days in your timeframe, then compares your timeframe to the same interval preceding your start date.
To quickly access the traffic data from the previous interval, hover your cursor over the percentage.
G2 plots your traffic on a graph and displays the data collected during each calendar week within your interval. Hover over a data point to reveal the traffic for the corresponding week.
Activity types
G2 offers the following metrics for tracking your product profile activity during your selected timeframe.
| Total pageviews | The total number of views for any G2 page that includes your product. These pageviews include visits to your product profile, Reference Pages, and G2 reviews, as well as G2 category pages and comparison pages that include your product. |
| Compare pageviews | The number of times buyers viewed a G2 comparison page that included your product. |
| Time on page | The number of hours buyers have spent on your G2 product profile. |

Competitor activity
G2 enables you to directly compare your product profile traffic to up to three of your competitors.
To access competitor traffic data, open the Competitors dropdown, then search for and select the name of your competitors. G2 plots the data for each competitor in a different color, indicated by the legend at the bottom of the graph. G2 does not display competitor data for Leads submitted or CTA / Free trial clicks.
