How Can I Set Up and Use Google Analytics?

The great thing about Google Analytics is that it’s free to use and can be set up through Google, however it can be a bit tricky to navigate once you’re in. So why should you still use it?

In today’s digital world, data is everything. Knowing how your website performs, where your traffic comes from, and what your visitors do on your site is crucial for making your informed business decisions. That’s where Google Analytics comes in, it’s a powerful tool that provides you with invaluable insights into your website’s performance.
