Gain Insight on How Visitors Are Using Your PPO Site
PastPerfect Online features a built-in reporter that provides information about what visitors are searching for on your site. This report is available on-demand and can be run for any selected period of time.

The URL for your site's report can be found on your PastPerfect Online Welcome Letter. If you are unable to locate your Welcome Letter, please email pposupport@museumsoftware.com.

You might use these statistics to compare this quarter's searches to last quarter's, or to look at the most searched keywords within that time frame. Knowing what visitors are searching for the most can help you determine the next batch of records to add to your site.

You can learn more about the report in the PastPerfect Online User Guide at  http://museumsoftware.com/ppohelp/#t=SearchReporting.htm.
