REAL TIME TRAFFIC You can see visitors who are on your website in real time. Google Analytics AUDIENCE This section of the tool allows you to see the amount of visitors that visit on your website, their locations, what browsers they use, mobile Vs desktop information and their behaviour on--line. TRAFFIC SOURCES: This will help you in choosing your inbound marketing activities as the data can tell you where your visitors arrive on the site from. This is useful if you have your website link on a 3rd party website and you need to see how successful the campaign is. This section will also tell you how successful your organic (SEO) results are performing, adwords, email campaigns and how important if at all are your social media platforms in driving traffic to your website. CONTENT: The content section tells you what your most visited web pages are, including your landing pages for the website and a visitor flow map to discover how your visitors view your website. This is excellent for planning what webpages to edit or add content for as well as improving your call to actions. AVERAGE TIME ON YOUR SITE: If you can get this figure up to 4 minutes it will greatly improve your conversion rates. To achieve this, use the data above to improve content, navigation flow and provide information your target audience are looking for and/or cannot get elsewhere. BOUNCE RATE: It represents the percentage of visitors who enter the site and "bounce" (leave the site) rather than continue viewing other pages within the same site. CALL TO ACTION VIEWS: Keep a record of the number of people who go to your call to action pages either checking figures in the content section or add conversion goals. This way you know how many people visit the contact us page, purchase page, location map etc and if you increase this figure, sale leads will increase.
