Google Analytics is the gold standard when it comes to free tools to get the job done.
There is nothing more powerful to a marketing professional than Google Analytics (GA). Having the ability to make data-driven decisions to improve conversion rates, bounces rates, click-thru rates…etc. Google Analytics is the gold standard of free tools to get the job done with lead generation.
Google Analytics provides:
- A complete picture of your website traffic even in real-time
- The ability to harness Google’s machine learning capabilities to make data-driven decisions
- The option to connect to many of the most popular tools in the Google suite including Google Ads, Data Studio, and Optimize
- Reporting and sharing are made easy with sharable reports and an easy-to-use interface
GA enables tracking by generating and implementing a tracking tag on your website which is referred to as a property. Once this tag is installed in the HTML (or Google Tag Manager), Google Analytics can then record traffic data.
