How to view average visitor numbers by time of day on Google Analytics

[Jo1980]

This is related to my other thread!

I would like a report that tells me, over a period of a month, how many visitors my website had at various times of the day!

Is this possible and could anyone advise me how to do this please!?

You need a custom report.

Go to custom reporting, create a new report and give it a name.

In Metric Groups, Add 'visits' and any other metrics you would like to see by hour. I'd suggest bounce rate, goal conversions or ecommerce transactions.

Go to Dimension Drilldowns, add 'Hour of Day'.

Save and Run!

You may want to experiment by adding day of week and hour of day beneath that, as for most sites there are big changes at the weekends. Also, consider filtering this to UK data, as of course you will get traffic from overseas at different times.
