Your website might be getting visitors every day — but do you know who they are, where they’re coming from, and what actions they’re taking? Without tracking, you’re running your online presence in the dark.
Google Analytics is one of the best free tools for understanding how people interact with your website. At Anamul’s Web Services in Warren, MI, we help Metro Detroit businesses set up and use Google Analytics to turn raw numbers into actionable insights.
Why Tracking Your Website’s Performance Matters
If you want to grow your business, you need to know:
- How many people visit your site each day or month
- Which pages are most popular
- How visitors find your site (Google search, social media, ads, referrals, etc.)
- Which actions lead to sales, calls, or form submissions
Tracking this information helps you make smart decisions about your marketing and website strategy.
Getting Started with Google Analytics
1. Create a Google Analytics Account
If you don’t already have one, sign up at analytics.google.com. It’s free and only takes a few minutes.
2. Add the Tracking Code to Your Website
Once you create a property for your site, Google will give you a tracking code. This small piece of code needs to be added to every page of your website — usually through your site’s header.
At Anamul’s Web Services, we handle this step for our clients so everything is installed correctly and starts collecting data immediately.
Understanding Key Metrics
Some of the most important metrics to pay attention to include:
- Users: The number of unique visitors to your site
- Sessions: The total visits, including repeat visits
- Bounce Rate: The percentage of people who leave after viewing only one page
- Average Session Duration: How long people stay on your site
- Traffic Sources: How visitors found your site
- Conversions: Actions that matter most, like filling out a contact form or making a purchase
Tracking Leads and Conversions
Google Analytics lets you set up “Goals” to track when visitors take specific actions, such as:
- Submitting a contact form
- Clicking your phone number
- Downloading a file or brochure
- Purchasing a product
These goals help you measure the real-world impact of your website traffic.
Using Data to Improve Your Website
Tracking is only valuable if you use the insights to make changes. For example:
- If a page gets high traffic but low conversions, it may need a stronger call to action.
- If most visitors come from mobile devices, ensure the mobile experience is perfect.
- If your bounce rate is high, test different layouts or improve your page load speed.
