July 07, 2016

So you spend a lot of time and money creating a fabulous website for your business or project and you’re very proud of your results. As you should be, an awful lot of planning and hard work goes into creating your website and getting the design and the content right. But that is just the beginning. People think if they get a website it will automatically mean more sales and more business. But that is not the case. Getting the website is just the start.

If you develop a new product or service for your business, you then need to market it and get it out to the public before it makes you money. Well it’s the exact same with a website. Once you have developed your website, then real work starts. You need to market it and get it out in front of your customers.

In business, we track our sales (very closely) so we can see how well we are doing. You need to be able to do the same with your website, or else how do you know if it’s even working for you? That’s where Google Analytics comes in!

Everybody knows Google as the largest search engine in the world. It’s where you go to find what you want. But Google is a giant empire. It’s so much more than just a search engine and as a business, you should get very familiar with all of Google’s tools as the majority of them are useful, and free!

Google Analytics is a tool that allows you to measure visitors to your website and to track their movements right down to the smallest detail. How many visitors you have to your website, what page they landed on first, what page they went to next, how long they spent on the page, and that is just the simple stuff.
