Headquartered in the Scottsdale Airpark, Actual Metrics is a Google Business Solutions agency. We're a small company with good industry relationships and have a solid foothold in a highly visible market.

ALL ABOUT URCHIN

Urchin is a web analytics software package that helps businesses figure out how visitors reach websites, what activities visitors perform while on the site, what pages are read, where visitors are physically located, and other details about website traffic. Urchin creates these reports by processing web server log files -- reports are then accessed via a web browser. With Urchin, you can define conversion goals, import cost data, identify marketing campaigns, process historical data from old log files, create custom reports, and much more.

Urchin is used by many of our clients to track corporate intranets and public-facing websites -- these clients include Fortune 500 companies, web hosting companies, venture-backed startups, major colleges & universities, Government agencies, and everything in between. Actual Metrics is a one stop shop for Urchin -- this includes installation, configuration, support, training, customization, analysis, integration, and anything else you can do with the software.
