How to Create a Custom Traffic Analytics PDF Report

Traffic Analytics is an amazing tool that allows you to gain a full understanding of a website's traffic. Use it to benchmark your website to your competitors or to evaluate a new market or niche. 

The Traffic Analytics Overview report allows you to export data sets into a PDF report with the simple click of a button.

An example of creating a custom PDF report. Via the PDF button in Traffic Analytics you are forwarded to My Reports and can take a closer look at all Traffic Analytics widgets.

While this in itself is a great resource, there may come a time when you only want certain data exported. This is where the Traffic Analytics section of My Reports can help. As you can see from the GIF above, directly next to the export to PDF button there is a Create Custom PDF Report button. This will lead you directly to the My Reports tool.

Here you can save this template so it can easily be used again in the future.
