Google Analytics gives you a wide range of metrics that are extremely valuable for improving your digital marketing and <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/\">email marketing<\/a> strategies.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This includes, for example, the number of unique visits, the top sources driving traffic to your website, and the most visited pages on your site. Not to mention that the statistics are available in real time.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. What does Google Analytics track?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned earlier, Google Analytics enables website owners to track numerous key metrics. Here are some of the most important ones, though not the only ones:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8211; Number of unique visitors.<\/strong> The number of people who visited the website.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8211; Number of returning visitors.<\/strong> The number of people who visited the website multiple times.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8211; Pages visited.<\/strong> The number of times a page or section has been visited, as well as the most visited one.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8211; Source of web traffic.<\/strong> Identifying whether the traffic is organic, paid, or coming from a search engine or social media.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8211; Country or geographic region of the traffic.<\/strong> Helps you better understand your audience by identifying where they are connecting from.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8211; Device used to visit your website.<\/strong> The number of visitors accessing your site from a mobile device or a desktop computer.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8211; Duration of each visit.<\/strong> The average time each visitor spends on your website.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8211; Bounce rate.<\/strong> The percentage of visitors who visit only one page of your site and leave without engaging with additional content.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8211; Visitor behavior.<\/strong> Helps you understand how visitors interact with your website.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\" style=\"border-radius:8px;padding-top:24px;padding-right:28px;padding-bottom:24px;padding-left:28px\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Measure the real impact of your campaigns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combine Google Analytics with Mailrelay&#8217;s statistics to see the full performance of your email marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-mailrelay-primary-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/signup\/?utm_medium=cta&amp;utm_campaign=google-analytics\">Discover Mailrelay<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. How do you use Google Analytics?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Analytics is a free tool that provides highly useful information for improving your website and conversions. At a basic level, its use is quite simple, but mastering it completely requires a lot of perseverance.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main use of Google Analytics is to check whether the content marketing strategy is working and to identify areas for improvement in order to meet the desired <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/glossary\/kpi-key-performance-indicator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KPIs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, its usage and the steps to obtain the desired information vary depending on the objectives. Generally, the basic process is as follows:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You select the elements relevant to your goal or goals, analyze how they have changed or trended over a specific period, and use those metrics as a baseline to check whether your earlier results have improved or worsened.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the goal you set has been achieved, you are on the right track. If not, you should continue refining your actions to improve the unmet objective until the goal is achieved.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\" style=\"border-radius:8px;padding-top:24px;padding-right:28px;padding-bottom:24px;padding-left:28px\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Analyze and improve your results with Mailrelay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get detailed statistics on opens, clicks and conversions for every campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-mailrelay-primary-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/signup\/?utm_medium=cta&amp;utm_campaign=google-analytics\">Get started with Mailrelay<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related terms<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/glossary\/conversion-rate\/\">Conversion Rate <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/glossary\/cookieless\/\">Cookieless<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/glossary\/cookies\/\">Cookies<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/glossary\/corporate-email\/\">Corporate email <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/glossary\/confirmation-email-2\/\">Confirmation email <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/glossary\/follow-up-email\/\">Follow-up Email<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/glossary\/correo-postal\/\">Postal Mail <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-84342","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
