Google quite rightly suggests that segments help you understand what drives success—but what are segments?

Well, in short, segments are ways to divide up your website visitors so that you can see whether one group is outperforming another.

You can divide—or segment—your website visitors in many ways. It could be by:

Channel: Are search visitors outperforming social?
Geography: Are people from Malaysia converting higher than those from Indonesia?
Device: Are visitors on desktop more or less likely to buy something?

And the list goes on. Google Analytics offers all these and many other ways for you to segment your users so that you can compare the performance of different groups.
