Web Analytics is also known as: website traffic analysis,. It provides information that you can use to better understand how visitors are using your website, and how you can increase the number of Internet visitors you convert into clients.
Perhaps you remember the old saying: "50% of advertising is wasted, except we don’t know which half." Online, almost everything can be measured: unique visitors, clicks, engagement, buzz, open rates, conversions, demographics, branding and time spent are just a few examples of the many available metrics. Marketers and business owners like yourself embrace the very real potential of all this information – but often feel overwhelmed by mountains of data, or frustrated by the technology that delivers the solutions.
So how should you determine what to measure? First you have to make sense of all the data, charts and numbers at your fingertips – then turn it into action. Measure across channels (including offline). How do you best evaluate your Web Analytics data? A WSI Consultant in Vancouver can help.
Yes, you can get into your customer’s mind to gain greater profits. You can learn a great deal about who your visitors are and how they interact with your website. Web analytics can tell you how they arrived at your site — did they arrive via a search engine, followed a link to your site, clicked on your pay per click ad, or typed in your website address directly into their browser? You can tell how long they stayed on each page, where they clicked, what pages they viewed as well as from which page they exited your site.
Once you understand visitors’ behavior, you will be able to identify and eliminate navigational obstacles that slow down or prevent visitors from purchasing your products or services. The result will be an improved visitor experience encouraging more visitors converted into clients. Your local WSI Consultant in Vancouver can show you a scientific, logically progressive way to make more money online using Web Analytics. Call for a meeting today.
