To see which pages of your document get the most attention, share it with a trackable link, then open the document’s analytics and review the page-by-page breakdown (time spent, completion/drop-off, scroll depth, and revisits). The goal is to find the “money pages” (high attention) and the “leak pages” (where people stop reading).
Quick steps (2 minutes)
-
Share your document with a trackable link.
Result: You have a URL that opens your document in a web viewer. -
(Recommended) Turn on email verification for that link.
Why it matters: Page attention is most useful when you can tie it to a real viewer (not “Anonymous”).
Result: Viewers must enter an email before viewing. -
Send the link and wait for a few real views.
Result: Your analytics dashboard starts showing page activity. -
Open the document’s analytics and switch to the Page analytics / Pages view.
Result: You see time spent and attention by page.
Step-by-step: find your “high-attention” pages
-
Open your document’s analytics dashboard.
Result: You see overall metrics (views, average time, completion). -
Locate the page-by-page section (pages list or chart).
Result: You can compare pages side-by-side. -
Identify the top pages by time spent per page.
Why it matters: Long time usually signals “this page influences the decision” (pricing, scope, proof, terms).
Result: You can list 2–5 pages that consistently hold attention. -
Find the first page where completion rate drops sharply (the “cliff”).
Why it matters: That’s where the document starts losing people.
Result: You know exactly where readers stop. -
Check revisits (pages people return to).
Why it matters: Revisits often mean “important” or “confusing.”
Result: You have a shortlist of pages to clarify or simplify. -
Make one targeted change, then compare performance on the next share.
Result: You can tell if the change increased attention and completion.
What page-level metrics mean (simple rules of thumb)
- Time spent per page: high = important; low = skimmed/ignored.
- Completion / drop-off: where most people stop = fix the transition or cut/reorder content.
- Scroll depth: low scroll depth can mean “too long” or “not relevant.”
- Revisits: high revisits can mean “pricing/terms matter” or “this needs clearer wording.”
Troubleshooting (if the data looks wrong)
- You only see “Anonymous” viewers: enable email verification on the link so viewers identify themselves.
- One viewer shows a huge time on a page (20+ minutes): they likely got distracted; look for patterns across multiple viewers, not one outlier.
- Pages look different on mobile: mobile viewers scroll more; rely more on drop-off + revisits, not just raw time.
- You don’t have enough views to trust the pattern: wait until you have at least 10–20 views before making structural changes.
Quick checklist (copy/paste)
- Link is trackable (not an attachment)
- Email verification enabled (if identity matters)
- I found the top 2–5 pages by time spent
- I found the biggest drop-off page
- I checked revisits for “confusing/important” pages
- I made one change and re-measured
