Show #89: David Cancel of Performable

The Startup Success Podcast

Performable

This week Bob and Pat talk with David Cancel, CEO of Performable, a web analytics firm. Web analytics has become a very sophisticated business, with Performable, for example, being able to show you data, revenue, and conversion rates between different social media referrers, track customer lifetime visits, conversions and revenue, let you “reverse engineer” which pages of your site converted a visitor to a customer and even make specific recommendations on how to improve the process.

David explains how a large company, or a startup, can effectively use web analytics, avoid the creepiness factor, and produce actionable information form their web data.

And we’re all moved into WPEngine! Please email me if you find a bug.
