Measuring website traffic with Google Analytics 4 is very helpful for anyone with a website. Google Analytics is free to use and works to measure all your website traffic and actions taken on your website. Imagine being able to see who is visiting your website, what pages they are visiting, are they clicking through to other pages, are they signing up for your newsletter, and how long are they staying on your pages.
As you may or may not know, Universal Google Analytics (also known as GA3) is finishing up on July 1, 2023 so if you are using that version, it is important to upgrade to GA4. I also suggest using Google Tag Manager. I also love creating personalized dashboards in Looker Studio for my clients. These dashboards make complex data easier to understand and visualize.
