Google Analytics is a free website analytics service offered by Google that gives you insights into how users find and use your website. Google Analytics helps you not only gather data but also make sense of it.

Most websites have already integrated Google Analytics, but if you still haven’t and are not sure why you should; here are 10 reasons why:

1. Its’ free

Google Analytics is 100% free – so don’t worry about your budget!

2. It’s pretty easy

Setting Google Analytics up is relatively easy compared to tools from many other vendors.

3. It collects your web data automatically

Once set up, you can simply log in and find the information you are looking for.

4. You can create customisable reports

Create your own reports with an easy interface. You can also add many different dimensions and metrics in one report.

5. Helps you understand customer behaviour

Google Analytics has a number of features that allows you to review how well users are interacting with your website and content.

6. You can track any campaign that is driving traffic to your website.

You can see how other marketing campaigns are working in relation to your website visits.

7. Identify your worst performing pages

Your top exit pages will show you how many people are arriving and exiting on a particular page.

8. Tracks conversions

Google Analytics allows you to set up goals to track when a user completes a certain action on your site.
