"Make well informed marketing decisions with Google Analytics"
What do you like best about Google Analytics?

The best thing about Google Analytics is that it’s free. It collects data, processes it and reports for you all in the background. You simply need to copy the code and paste it on to your website so that Google Analytics can capture data from your website and create reports. It saves you time and you get immediate access to analytics. However, you can also create your own customized report with drag and drop interface. It can be easily integrated with other tools like AdWords and other platforms. It helps you identify visitors’ behavior on your website and internal searches made on your website by visitors. You can also identify the time visitors are spending on different pages and from which page they bouncing back. You get to know of demographics. You can identify the audience on the basis of age, gender and location.

What do you dislike about Google Analytics?

Social media conversion tracking is not much reliable and the actual data isn’t available real-time. It is quite difficult for a beginner to fully understand and use all features of Google Analytics.

What problems is Google Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?

The best thing is that you can identify which social platform you are getting the most traffic from. So, it helps you decide on the best social media to invest in.

With increasing concerns over data privacy and the rise of ad blockers, some data might not be fully captured, leading to gaps in analytics.

It solves the problem of gathering and interpreting web traffic data, providing valuable insights into user behavior, website performance, and the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. This benefits users by enabling data-driven decision-making, enhancing marketing strategies, and improving website user experience and engagement.
