It’s one of the most comprehensive analytics tools in the market and estimated to be used on over 30 million sites. With Google Analytics, you can easily make data-driven marketing decisions to grow your traffic and help boost sales and revenue.
Here are some important reasons for implementing Google Analytics:

Google Analytics shows you exactly which content on your site gets the most visits, average duration, and bounce rate for the individual pages. You can take this data and analyze and optimize for better engagement.
You can add more call to action (CTA) buttons, purchase links, etc. on the top pages of your site to boost your conversions. You can also update the top landing pages with the latest information or revamp their whole design and structure to make them look fresh and updated.
In addition, Google Analytics helps you learn what type of content works and what doesn’t. That way, you can focus on the type of content that gets more visits to boost your site engagement and gain more customers.
