You can do a search and find a wide variety of different statistics and analytics tools, but generally the best choices for most websites are Google Analytics and Google Search Console.

These tools enable you to monitor your website traffic sources and activity, and check your index status on the Google search engine result pages. You can use the analytics and visitor tracking to measure your website traffic and see where you can improve through SEO & marketing activities.

To get started just sign up with your Google account and then you’ll need to add a code snippet to authorise your website. You will need to copy and paste the code into the template part of your website, or add it in a plugin. You will be told where to place the code exactly when you copy it from the website you have chosen.

Seeing who is using your website is very useful and can help you build and grow your site depending on who is reading it. Making your website useful to customers will ensure longevity. It will mean that your website is still being run and maintained in years to come. Don’t let your website fall into the past, you need to keep it updated with current content that will entice readers. You can always hire copywriters at a range of prices to provide you with current, relevant content that will keep people reading and visiting your website. Copywriters are a great solution for anyone who is too busy running their business to write content but still wants to have an online presence and keep up with the modern digital age.
