ANALYSIS• Utilization of Google Analytics to decipher:
• Quantity of web traffic and sessions• How long users are staying on your site• Bounce rate (when someone comes to your
site and instead of exploring and navigating to other pages, instantly leaves the first page they see) – normal bounce rate is between 40%-60%; above 80% is a statistic for concern
• How they are finding your site (organic, direct, social, referral, email, paid ads)
• Behavior while on your site (what pages they visit, the flow)
• Conversions (how many people are filling out your contact form or scheduling an appointment)
