: Create a Google Analytics filter to view stats from .com and .com.au domains separately We are having trouble with distinguishing analytics for our dual domain. Our website is currently set up

We are having trouble with distinguishing analytics for our dual domain.
Our website is currently set up as a .com that filters content for Australia/

We cannot seem to track .com.au's analytics data separately from the .com's.
Google search is ranking our pages from both .com and .com.au

Has anyone ever dealt with a dual domain setup like this? Is there a filter we can add to a new view to help us separate the two websites' data?

Base on your question and your comments, I will assume this is the right answer.

The best way to do this is by creating two different views. One for the .com and another one for the .com.au.

how to add a new view

Once you have created both views, you need to create a filter for each view specifying the hostname.

Use a predefined filter to Include only traffic to a particular hostname (in this case, as example.com or example.com.au)

Check step 2 here

In the above example they use a sub domain, replace that with your domain.

NOTE: you will need to wait up to 48 hrs to start seeing the data flowing separately in each view. Also, the data in the views will be recorded moving forward, you will not be able to see past data.

NOTE: in case you need to see past data in the “merged” view create two segments applying the same hostname filter approach for segments. There are plenty of online sources that you can follow.
