Without analytics, improving a website is guesswork. With them, you can see what’s working, what isn’t, and where visitors drop off. The good news: you only need a handful of numbers to start.
The metrics that matter
- Traffic sources — where visitors come from (search, social, direct).
- Top pages — what content actually gets read.
- Bounce / engagement — are people staying?
- Conversions — enquiries, calls, purchases.
Set up the essentials
Install Google Analytics (GA4) and connect Google Search Console to see how you appear in search. Together they answer “who’s visiting and how did they find me?”
Data doesn’t replace judgement — it sharpens it. Track less, but act on what you track.
From numbers to action
Analytics only pays off if it changes what you do. Spot a high-traffic page with low conversions? That’s your next CRO project. Ready to move?
