Google Analytics is the most popular website analytics tool, and it’s free, making it a risk-free investment for content creators. It helps you track a number of
essential metrics, including the top visited pages on your site, referrals (how visitors found your site), and the length of time spent on your pages.
It’s typically easy to set it up through a
plugin on CMS like WordPress, or by
adding your unique tracking code to the head element of your website or website template. The earlier you set it up on your site, the better, so you can compare data over time and figure out which of your marketing tactics, not just SEO, are working. You will need a Google account in order to set this up.
