Track 2 views of 1 page

Question

I need to set up a new goal in Google Analytics which will be executed when 1 unique visitor views 2 different articles.

For example, I have a thousands of different articles: /page/article_water.html /page/article_google_analytics.html .... .... ... /page/article_another_one.html

So, a Google Analytics URL-pattern of this page will looks like this:

./page/article_..html

The thing is, that I need to catch up 2 views of different articles with similar URL.

Have no idea how to do that, Google didn't help me.

Answer 1

Alexander, what you cou do is to check whether the articles were seen on your backend and if so, send an event to Google Analytics that will trigger the goal completion (event-based goal).

Or try setting up two different goals and then create a segment that will filter those users/visitors. Could work as well.
